 * Hi [@duracelltomi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/duracelltomi/)
    Thank 
   you for making this plugin. I recently installed it on my wife’s eCommerce store.
   But I feel I may have done something wrong as my data layer remains empty no 
   matter what I do. I’m not sure if my configuration is at fault or whether my 
   theme is preventing the JS from firing correctly.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdata-layer-empty%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * I checked your site and the datalayer has lots of variables. Since I am not yet
   a customer on the site, many data layer variables are empty.
 * What variable are you exactly looking for?

 * Thank you for taking the time to help a noob out 🙂
    Well if the data is there,
   then I’m obviously just not figuring out how to view it properly. Thanks again.

 * Hi,
 * You may want to use some Chorme browser extensions that might help you seeing
   the content of the data layer. In my experiences, Google Tag Assistant fails 
   in many cases here but this two extensions can do the job perfectly:
 * Easy to use:

 * More advanced with lots of additional logging:

 * Let me know if you have further questions!
