* Hi,
* I am trying to install the Optimize codes in the plugin. I use Universal Analytics.
* I add the following to Custom GA Code:
ga(‘require’, ‘GTM-XXXXXXX’); with XXXXX
being my container number.
* I add the following to my Custom Code (anti flicker):
* I get the following error when doing dignostics:
Errors Optimize plugin not
found The web page page doesn’t have Optimize plugin for the container ID (GTM-
PNGBM63) installed. You can still use the visual editor to create variants but
you can’t use Preview mode to test them and visitors won’t see your experiment.
To run an experiment you must first install Optimize .
* Warnings
The anti-flicker snippet timed out The anti-flicker snippet might not
have been configured correctly or the timeout value is too short. The anti-flicker
timeout is a worst-case scenario. Your page will only be hidden for the full
timeout if the experiment cannot execute sooner (and when it does, the page is
unhidden immediately). When anti-flicker times out, your experiment doesn’t run
on that page load, which can limit the efficacy of your experiment and results.
Regardless of timeout value, ensure that the Optimize plugin is deployed correctly
and not late in the page (e.g. in the ).
* What am I doing wrong?

* I’m not sure. You may want to ask your question in the Google help forum, or
try a different plugin would be my best advice for you.

* Honestly I do not know what you are trying to do. Perhaps if you could simplify
your question I would be able to understand better and try to help.

* I apologize.
* So I just installed this plugin connect Google Analytics, but also to connect
Google Optimize. I have followed the instructions and added GA Tracking ID and
chosen the Universal tracking method. Google Analytics works fine.
* However, I run into trouble when trying to connect to Google Optimize, as Google
optimize gives me an error even after following this guide for Optimize:
1.
I added ga(‘require’, ‘GTM-XXXXXX’); with my number instead of XXXXXX in the “
Custom GA Code”-field. 2. I added the flicker code to “Custom Code”-field.
* Anything I have done wrongly?

* Thanks that helps. If you can provide a link to the Google doc you are looking
at, I will take a closer look and let you know if/how it’s possible along with
correct steps to implement.

* Thanks Jeff, I really appreciate your help!
* The guide I followed from your FAQ plugin page is under this question:
“How
to implement Google Optimize?”
* And in regards to the Google guide, it is on this page:
[https://support.google.com/optimize/answer/6262084](https://support.google.com/optimize/answer/6262084)

* Thanks. So I went thru and followed the Google doc steps, compared with the plugin/
FAQ steps, and implemented on default WordPress. Everything looks good as far
as I can tell. Remember that this plugin simply adds the correct code and nothing
more; all of the Google stats stuff happens on their servers. So if you are getting
errors in your Google account my best advice would be ask about it on the Google
support forums, where someone should know best how to resolve any issue.

* Thank you for going through the docs and setting it up. I will do that. Just
to make sure I didn’t miss anything, could you please share your backend plugin
settings in a screenshot or similar? Would appreciate it hugely.
* Thanks for the wonderful support!

however possible.
