Title: HELP setting up google analytics Last modified: March 14, 2025 --- # HELP setting up google analytics * Resolved [swptw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/swptw/) * (@swptw) * [1 year, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-setting-up-google-analytics/) * Hi I recently connected google analytics through sitekit plugin on wordpress. there is data showing in sitekit but not in GA it’s just saying “Data collection isn’t active for your website. If you installed tags more than 48 hours ago, make sure they are set up correctly.” Does anybody know what’s wrong with this and why it’s showing in sitekit but not GA? * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fhelp-setting-up-google-analytics%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 13 replies - 1 through 13 (of 13 total) * Plugin Support [James Osborne](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jamesosborne/) * (@jamesosborne) * [1 year, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-setting-up-google-analytics/#post-18361777) * Thanks for reaching out [@swptw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/swptw/). If you’re seeing data witin the Site Kit dashboard, you should be seeing data from analytics.google.com, which is the source where Site Kit pulls data from. To troubleshoot this further for any potential issues and to ensure we’re looking at the same Google Analytics property, please share the following: 1. Your[ Site Health information](https://i.imgur.com/Rtkmsba.png). You can[ use this form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1lhjns2K7c0Ny7ME4gxTcsnYtNUtcMr8BvFpPQi23Y1E/) to share privately if preferred.   2. If you click on the [”Source: Analytics” link](https://i.imgur.com/r3chvYj.png) within the Site Kit dashboard, do you see any recent data from the Analytics directly? Feel free to share a recording of you clicking on this link if you wish. You can use a service such as[ Imgur](https://imgur.com) or[ Jumpshare](https://jumpshare.com). You can share via the same form if you wish to share this privately. 3. When did you connect the Analytics module within Site Kit? * I did also check your site manually and visa the tagassistant.google.com service, and I can confirm that site visits [are recording in Google Analytics](https://i.imgur.com/KHUKXnM.png), so it may just be a case of waiting for data to display if it’s only been connected recently. * Let me know if you have any questions with the above. Thank you. * Thread Starter [swptw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/swptw/) * (@swptw) * [1 year, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-setting-up-google-analytics/#post-18361817) 1.

Connected yesterday  * Thanks for your help! * Plugin Support [James Osborne](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jamesosborne/) * (@jamesosborne) * [1 year, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-setting-up-google-analytics/#post-18361829) * Appreciate the update [@swptw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/swptw/). All looks good with regards your configuration, and given you only connected Site Kit yesterday I suspect it’s just a matter of waiting another day or so. If you wish I can check up with you on Monday to ensure data is reporting? * Thread Starter [swptw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/swptw/) * (@swptw) * [1 year, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-setting-up-google-analytics/#post-18361839) * that would be great thank you! * Plugin Support [James Osborne](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jamesosborne/) * (@jamesosborne) * [1 year, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-setting-up-google-analytics/#post-18361849) * Perfect! I’ll reach out to you on Monday then. In the meantime, I do expect data to start appearing. It’s quite normal to take time to gather data for a site. The snippet as placed via Site Kit does appear on your site as expected, without modification. * I did also notice another snippet on your site, likely via Monstor Insights. While this shouldn’t impact the Site Kit placed snippet, or Analytics reporting on the Site Kit placed snippet, let’s follow up on Monday. * Have a great weekend. * Plugin Support [James Osborne](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jamesosborne/) * (@jamesosborne) * [1 year, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-setting-up-google-analytics/#post-18365000) * [@swptw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/swptw/) I’m just following up with you to check whether data is now appearing on both your Site Kit dashboard and from analytics.google.com? Do let me know, and if you have any issues please share a recording of what you see when you click on the [”Source: Analytics” link](https://i.imgur.com/r3chvYj.png) within the Site Kit dashboard. You can use a service such as[ Imgur](https://imgur.com) or[ Jumpshare](https://jumpshare.com) to share a recording. * Thread Starter [swptw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/swptw/) * (@swptw) * [1 year, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-setting-up-google-analytics/#post-18368653) * Hi thank you for the follow up it looks like all is working now! * Thread Starter [swptw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/swptw/) * (@swptw) * [1 year, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-setting-up-google-analytics/#post-18368657) * also is there a way to remove my website name from this support chat so its not visible publicly?

You can [ask the moderators](https://make.wordpress.org/chat/) over the WordPress.org Slack channel, specifically [#forums](https://app.slack.com/client/T024MFP4J/C02RQC6RW). * Moderator [Support Moderator](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moderator/) * (@moderator) * [1 year, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-setting-up-google-analytics/#post-18368832) * Moderator note: * I’m sorry but no.

I don’t mind if the topic stays up, just my domain. * Moderator [Support Moderator](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moderator/) * (@moderator) * [1 year, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-setting-up-google-analytics/#post-18373281) * I am sorry, but again no. * Unless it’s an extreme case, topics are not deleted or edited. * [https://wordpress.org/support/forum-user-guide/faq/#will-you-delete-my-post-once-the-problem-is-solved](https://wordpress.org/support/forum-user-guide/faq/#will-you-delete-my-post-once-the-problem-is-solved) * This is not an extreme case. Please be aware that the link “The page I need help with:” cannot be seen by search engines and is only visible to users logged into the support forums. * Thread Starter [swptw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/swptw/) * (@swptw) * [1 year, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-setting-up-google-analytics/#post-18375122) * Users should be told this beforehand or given the option to not include a domain in their support question then. Pretty annoying of WordPress to do that to their users, it’s never been an issue for me before on other platforms to remove a domain for privacy.
