    Hi!
    I checked the site with google tag assistant and saw Invalid or missing web property ID error. while looking at the error in the code, I noticed that the plugin adds a datalayer with an incorrect google analytics id. Perhaps I am doing something wrong?

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

    Hi,

    I checked your site and I see some mixed tagging.

    More probably you are using too many plugin to track the same thing.

    This plugin (GTM4WP) does not add any Google Analytics related tag into your page, instead, it adds your Google Tag Manager container ID so that you can add you GA related measurement through the GTM UI.

    What I can see on your site is that you have installed and enabled a dedicated Google Analytics plugin next to GTM4WP that inserts the tag that you are referencing to.

    This includes a wrong GA ID.
    I assume you just created your GA property. By default, Google Analytics now creates a Google Analytics 4 type property that has a very different ID and you need to use a very different tagging to populate this property with data.

    Try re-create a new property using this guide:

    … and enter the property ID into your GA plugin. But you will need to decide whether you want to use GTM to track Google Analytics interactions (via GTM4WP) or using a dedicated GA plugin.
