GA-4 Analytics [Support Thread]

[nicksab]

i love your response... although...

TIS.



nick,
my 1st guess would be that potentially you have the same notifier in 2 places. why you would have that, i do not know.

i can only assume that @lat9 has tested this module, and that in a normal install, the behavior you are witnessing does not happen.

given that assumption, i would search your code base for:

NOTIFY_HTML_HEAD_TAG_START

that is the notifier that places your tag in the header. if that notifier occurs in 2 places that would explain the behavior.

your test (hardly pointless) suggests that the code where the tag gets inserted is getting hit twice.

but you definitely have some sort of issue, that i'm guessing is with your template.

in any event, that is where i would start.

best.

I could totally give you a hug right now.

I did a search as suggested and turns out the code got somehow duplicated:

/includes/templates/royal_fleur/common/html_header.php

Line # 68 : $zco_notifier->notify('NOTIFY_HTML_HEAD_TAG_START', $current_page_base);

Line # 75 : $zco_notifier->notify('NOTIFY_HTML_HEAD_TAG_START', $current_page_base);

Thank you for the help as always.

Hi,
I have a google Ads Tracking ID starting with "AW". The readme file specifically states the id starts with a G. Can you please tell me if this plugin will accommodate my tracking ID starting with "AW".

Thanks!

Actually, the readme indicates that the id can start with either G- or GTW-. I believe that your Google management-console provides a means to connect the GA-4 measurement ID to your Ads Tracking ID (AW-), but that's outside the scope of this plugin.

Ok, Thank you so much for your response.

v2.0.2 of "GA4 Analytics" is now available for download: https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=2368

This release contains changes associated with these GitHub issues:

#29: Correct PHP warnings for 'missing' products_name.
#30: Call-back to parent methods for plugin install/upgrade/uninstall.

I'm a bit confused regarding the GA4 Analytics plugin v2.0.1.

Under "Choose item_id Parameter Value" it says:



Shouldn't it be "ID" instead of "Model"? Like this:

"When products are included in GA4 events, what value should be used for the item_id parameter? If you choose products_id, the product's ID (if that value is not empty) is placed into the field name you identify below. Default: products_model."

Or am I misunderstanding?

Isn't this parameter for selecting either to send the product's model number or the product's ID number to GA4?

This parameter identifies the unique value used to identify the product to the analytics. If all your products' models are unique, use products_model; otherwise, use products_id.

Thanks for the clarification. However the reason I ask is because I'm getting an error in my Google Ads tracking:

"Many recent conversions have sold item IDs that can't be matched to Merchant Center"



When I search Google troubleshooting, they say:



Does that mean that I have to enter items.item_id or items.id into the "Choose products_model Field Name" field? Instead of the default ep.item_model.

[lat9]

It "sounds like" you've got your merchant center set up based on products' id values, not models. If so, set that configuration value to use the products_id.
