    As I migrated my site from a online hosting to a local hosting, my site works, but upon trying to activate google analytics. it says that the site cannot be found.

    I am not going to bother to fix it as it should have worked first thing.

    Yes I have symmetrical data, but that was like a year ago when i choose a different analytics company.

    Localhost sites are usually fire walled to prevent outside public access. Have you modified your server’s firewall and/or permissions to allow public access (or at least for GA servers)? Has your site changed its domain name as part of the migration? Have you added the new domain to your GA properties? Or if you have the same domain name, you must have changed its DNS A record to point to your local server. These kind of changes can take time to propagate. If you attempted to activate while propagation is incomplete, you should wait until it has completed before attempting activation.

    This isn’t really a WP issue, it’s more of a GA or server administration issue. You may find better advice through a forum dedicated to GA and server administration issues.

    So what you are saying is that I will have to wait until google recognises my new external ip address.

    I eventually got it to work after watching a few seconds of a Asian telling me how to reset site kit.

    Sorry for the prude ethnicity, but sometimes it is needed.
