    I get a notification in GA saying “Bad Event Tracking Code”.

    Here is the whole message:

    The Landing Pages report has a (not set) entry.

    A pageview hit must precede event hits in order for the event hits to include the page that they fire from. When event hits aren’t preceded by a pageview, Google Analytics doesn’t have the page for the event hits, so their page is (not set).

    Verify that tracking code for property Tech alert 24 sends a pageview hit before sending any events.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Not sure, have you triple-checked to make sure the tracking ID is correct? I mean, that’s about the most it could be, unless you’ve added custom code via the other settings. For basic configuration, you just enter your tracking code, save changes and done.

    Ok not sure about that plugin. But if it adds tracking code for Google Analytics, then you don’t need this plugin as well. I.e., you only need one plugin to add the necessary GA tracking code.
