Remove FBCLID from Google Analytics (GA4) Reports Reporting Dec. 4, 2023, 6:10 a.m.

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

relationship between "Total users", "Users", "New users" and "Returning users" in GA4 Other GA Questions Dec. 4, 2023, 5:25 a.m.
I'm curious about the interrelation among "Total users," "Users," "New users," and "Returning users."

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.

GA4 Ecommerce Transactions Not Being Tracked Identifying Conversions Sept. 21, 2023, 11:19 a.m.

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.

Purchase events sent via Measurement Protocol source is always "direct" Identifying Conversions Sept. 21, 2023, 11:13 a.m.
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.

API request refused with "Request had insufficient authentication scopes" Code Implementation Sept. 21, 2023, 10:25 a.m.

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.

"Paste your Google tag immediately after the <head> on each page of your website"? Code Implementation Sept. 21, 2023, 8:34 a.m.

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?

Some pages not showing up in my GA4? Reporting Sept. 21, 2023, 5:49 a.m.

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?

Analytics only collects real-time data for 4 days, no new post tracking or sessions Other GA Questions Sept. 12, 2023, 11:23 a.m.

My analytics has remained constant at 4 daily views for the past four days. Site Kit is installed on my site, but it's failing to track my new blog post despite being active and tested on multiple devices. A tag search reveals no analytics tag, although I haven't made any changes to the code or Site Kit. Real-time data is visible, but nothing else is being recorded.

Conversions from Google Ads and Microsoft Ads are being incorrectly attributed as organic. Reporting Sept. 12, 2023, 11:20 a.m.

Presently, my conversions (specifically, form submissions) are being tracked as Google/Organic or Bing/Organic instead of being categorized as paid.

I'm confident that these leads originate from paid channels because they occur on an Unbounce page to which we exclusively direct paid traffic, and Unbounce correctly attributes them as such.

We've established UTM parameters and configured auto-tagging. Has anyone encountered a similar problem in the past?

Data from GA4 Monetization related to E-Commerce Purchases is missing. Reporting Aug. 1, 2023, 7:32 a.m.

Hello,

I apologize if this question has an obvious answer, but I'm currently exploring the new GA4, particularly the Monetisation > E-Commerce Purchases section.

While reviewing the data, I noticed that I can see my product information, and there is data in the 'items purchased' column. However, 'items viewed', 'items added to cart', and 'revenue' all appear as 0.

Could someone kindly explain the reason behind this?

Thank you.

GA4 - How can I visualize the hour by hour visits on a graph? Reporting July 25, 2023, 7:20 a.m.

After spending numerous hours searching for a solution, I'm still unable to find a seemingly simple answer to my problem. My goal is to visualize the hourly visits in a graphic using Google Analytics 4.

I attempted to add the "Hour" dimension to the reports by clicking on the "+" button, but unfortunately, nothing appeared. I also tried creating a new "exploration" and adding the "Hour" dimension, but all my efforts were in vain. Can someone please guide me on the correct path to achieve this? Your help would be greatly appreciated

Why values of "New Users" becomes more if you remove the column Total User in GA4 Reporting July 24, 2023, 6:48 a.m.

Could you please explain the reason, as shown in the attached screenshots, for the increase in the values of "New Users" in Google Analytics 4 when the "Total User" column is removed? I noticed that there is a research filtering on the right, but it seems that this filtering does not affect the "New Users" metric. Consequently, there is a significant discrepancy between the number of new users reported in these two analyses.
