I am a beginner and this might be an easy question. but my issue is that fbclid is messing up my Google Analytics reports. It tricks GA into thinking that every click to the same page is a different page altogether. While all of the URLs in my report actually lead to the exact same landing page, the FBCLID parameter at the end of every URL confuses GA and makes it think that all of the pages are different.

I want all of these URLs to be rolled into one single line, but the unique FBCLID for every link causes them to show up as distinct values in different columns.

Please help

Then the reporting will showcase the text "<sup>" itself, without rendering it as superscripted text?

Can I use HTML tags within GA4 ecommerce events?
dataLayer.push({
event: "view_item",
ecommerce: {
currency: "USD",
value: 7.77,
items: [
{
item_id: "SKU_12345",
item_name: "Stan ^and Friends Tee",

I'm curious about the interrelation among "Total users," "Users," "New users," and "Returning users."

1. How does "Total users" differ from "Users"?

2-1. Is the equation (# of total users) = (# of new users) + (# of returning users) accurate?
2-2. If 2-1 is accurate, where can I find the # of total users in the GA4 report?

Thank you.

Hi,
I want to implement scroll depth tracking in GA4. Is it to be done via GTM? Can you please let me know the procedure. Thanks!

What's the relationship between "Total users," "Users," "New users," and "Returning users."

1. How do "Total users" and "Users" vary from each other?

2-1. Is the following equation accurate? (# of total users) = (# of new users) + (# of returning users)
2-2. If 2-1 holds true, where can I find the count of "Total users" in a GA4 report?

Thank you for this. The solution is indeed to remove GA1.1.​ from the beginning of the ID and send that as the client_id ​value.

I've recently transitioned from Universal Analytics (UA) to GA4, and while UA successfully tracked website purchases, GA4 is not recording any purchase data. Our website operates on Netsuite.

During the migration process, I came across an event named "place_an_order," which seemed to be the method used to track completed purchases, although I can't confirm this.

In Google Tag Manager, I've identified several tracking events configured for various actions. However, I'm facing challenges in pinpointing the one responsible for tracking purchases. I'm curious if anyone might have insights on where I should look to unravel this mystery.

I am sending purchase events on the server-side via the Measurement Protocol like so:

        'client_id' => $_COOKIE['_ga'],
        'events' => array(
            'name' => 'purchase',
            'params' => array(
                'currency' => $currency,
                'transaction_id' => $referenceCode,
                'value' => $value
            )
        )

Everything seems to function properly, except for the fact that all of them display "direct" as their source. Given the significant influx of traffic from Google Ads, it's reasonable to assume that at least one of the conversions originated from an advertisement. Should the system automatically establish a connection between user tracking using the client_id variable, or do I need to take additional action, like manually configuring the campaign_details? If manual setup is required, it does seem peculiar that GA4 wouldn't handle this automatically by utilizing the client_id.

1) To create a custom event, you typically start by selecting a pre-defined event (such as "page_location") and then specify a value (like the page URL). In my case, this action places the tag on the FAQ page. Generally, you can't invent a new event that didn't exist previously. Is my understanding correct?

2) Regarding the custom event dimensions, my goal is to identify which of the FAQs have been opened. Users can click on plus "+" signs to reveal answers for each of the 20 different FAQs, and I want to track exactly which ones were opened, not just the overall count. How can I instruct Tag Manager to distinguish each "+" click? I considered using a text string to identify each question, but it seems crucial to register the click on the "+" sign itself.

Do you have any recommendations on how to achieve this? I imagine this must have been done before, and I'd appreciate any insights.

The service account generated according to the Java API GA4 quickstart guide lacks the necessary authentication scopes to grant access to the associated GA4 Account and Property, as indicated in the Service Account .json file.

As a result, utilizing the API to fetch analytics metrics in Java becomes unfeasible.

I opted to experiment with another plugin that appeared to be more lightweight and had favorable reviews. This plugin is named "GA Google Analytics" (you can find it at this link: wordpress.org/plugins/ga-google-analytics/). After installing it and adding my tracking code, it functioned smoothly without any complications.

Hence, I've decided to continue using this plugin, unless there are significant advantages to using Site Kit that I might be missing out on.

I've received a response from One.com support, and unfortunately, they couldn't provide a standard solution for syncing GA4 with a WordPress.org site. Consequently, I decided to opt for a plugin and chose Site Kit, as it was recommended earlier.

However, for reasons I can't quite pinpoint, Site Kit failed to establish a connection with my site for both GA4 and Google Search Console. I used the same Google account that I registered these two services with.

The error message I encountered stated "invalid client_id" and "invalid client_secret" (you can refer to the screenshot below). When I clicked on "Remake configuration" (the green button), a completely black page appeared with the following text in the upper left corner: "invalid parameter: 'client_id'."

This experience doesn't align with the "installation instructions" provided for setting up Site Kit with GA4. Instead, it immediately displays error messages after I activate the plugin and sign in with my Google ID.

Do you have any insights into what might be causing this issue? Thanks!

Thankyou very much for your response. I indeed attempted to insert the code into the "header.php" file, but unfortunately, it didn't establish a connection with GA4 as expected. I'm uncertain about the root cause of this issue, so I've reached out to my hosting provider, One.com, for assistance. I will keep you updated if they provide any valuable insights.

It's possible that I may eventually resort to using a plugin after all. I had previously utilized MonsterInsights, but I uninstalled it due to an excessive amount of ads and concerns about its impact on site performance.

Is it conceivable that the complexity of the instruction, "Paste your Google tag immediately after the <head> on each page of your website," leads most individuals to eventually opt for a plugin to avoid the challenges associated with manual implementation?

I aimed to integrate Google Analytics 4 into my WordPress website without resorting to any unnecessary plugins. Therefore, I followed this guide: [link to the guide].

The guide is straightforward to follow, but the final step is quite perplexing. It instructs, "Paste your Google tag immediately after the <head> on each page of your website."

This directive left me wondering about its practical implementation. If you're using a file manager (in my case, One.com), it's unclear where exactly the Google tag should be inserted.

I attempted to add it to the "header.php" file within the active theme I'm using, but unfortunately, it didn't yield the desired results.

Could you offer any advice or suggestions to help with this issue?

This solved my problem. Never knew. Thank you!

Hello there,

I have a question, although I'm not particularly experienced with GA. I manage a website with roughly 150 pages. Recently, I was trying to assess the performance of a specific post, so I conducted a search for it within GA. However, I couldn't locate it. After some investigation, I realized that it doesn't appear in GA at all, and this seems to be the case for several posts (although most of them are visible).

I should note that my GA4 is connected to Google Tag Manager, and I double-checked by testing it again. The tag appears to be firing correctly, so it doesn't seem like the issue is with the code not being implemented on those particular pages.

Does anyone have any insights into how this might be possible or what could be causing it?

I'm worried about the scenario where a user has chosen to opt out or hasn't given consent for GA tracking. In such cases, any manual refund workaround would likely need to be excluded as well. Ultimately, GA cannot replace regular backend sales history.
