* I’m unable to link Google Optimize to WordPress Account using GA plugin. I followed
the below steps for GA Universal Analytics (analytics.js)
* Tracking code location: include in wp_head
* Custom tracker options: ga(‘require’, ‘OPT-XXXXXXX’);
* Custom Code:
* I still see the below error:
* We found problems with the Optimize installation on this page
Refer to the diagnostics
below to fix problems and troubleshoot any issues with your installation. Learn
more about diagnostics . Errors Analytics pageview not detected This page isn’t
sending pageview hits to Google Analytics property (UA-XXXXXX-XX) configured
for this experiment. You won’t be able to measure usage of your site or monitor
performance of Optimize experiments. Make sure that your Analytics tracking code(
either analytics.js or gtag.js ) is set up correctly.
* Suggestions
Optimize not in the HEAD For best performance, the snippet that
loads the Optimize plugin (whether it’s Analytics, Tag Manager, or gtag.js) should
be installed in the element of your web page, immediately after the anti-
flicker snippet . The Deploy Optimize help center article and tagging best practices
section contain more information on the best way to install Optimize.

* I’m not sure, but it looks like the custom code you are entering may be causing
issues. Have you examined the actual source code on your pages, to make sure
that it is what you want.

* Hey Jeff, the custom code is just an anti-flicker code. I tried removing that
too. Didn’t work.
* Although, I’m tried to install this on staging site of WordPress, does the code
not work if it’s installed on staging site?

* Yeah actually the plugin is very simple, works on any WP site. You might want
to try completely removing the plugin (via the Plugins screen) and then starting
over. After installing fresh copy, leave all settings at defaults. Then only
add your tracking ID and save changes. This will give you correct tracking code,
which you can verify by examining the source code of your pages.
* Once you have the correct base tracking code all good, then you can try adding
custom tracker or whatever is needed. But when you do it, go one thing at a time.
That way you can verify changes at each step, so if/when something goes wrong,
you will know exactly which step was at fault.

* Hi Jeff, I tried, it still didn’t work.
* I have a question, I think this might answer why isn’t it working. I have connected
Google Analytics via Monster Insights and I’m trying to connect Optimize using
GA Google Analytics plugin. Google Analytics is also linked via this plugin.
Could it be that it’s not working because of two plugins?

* Yeah only use one plugin for Google Analytics. Trying to use more than one will
only cause problems in most cases.
