For me in one blog still works authentification- it didnt stopped worked. In many blogs manual works in 1 blog doesnt work manual also.
I’m having the same problem. Is it typical that a problem can be posted and echoed over three weeks with no response from the experts?
I’m assuming that people are talking about the following error?
“Unfortunately, an error occurred while connecting to Google, please try again:Re-authenticate with Google”
I’m getting it too. When I check the settings for my google account, I can see that Google Analytics for WordPress is authorized (among some others that I have – which work), but yet no dice…anyone have any success?
I’m new to this product for WP, was there a version update recently – is it possible to get a hold of the previous version? Any ideas?
Sounds like a great product…
Thanks
Q
Update. I have tried going back several versions – all with the same result – is google having troubles, or is there something on my server end that needs changing to support this?? I have tried manually entering the UA code, and it does not work either – no errors, but GA never tracks the site.
Thanks!
SOLUTION: I entered the UA code manually. On the WordPress page, there is an option under “Analytics Profile:” with a check box that says “Manually enter your UA code”.
I logged into my Google Analytics account, and on the first page under my desired account there was a number that began “UA-########-1”. (You can also find this account number by going to Admin –> Your_account_name. Under the bold title of your account name, there is an Account ID. This number is your UA number, but doesn’t include the -# at the end. I don’t know if it’s always “-1” or if that’s just my number.)
I returned to my WordPress page and entered in the number in the same format “UA-########-1” and clicked the button for “Update Google Analytics Settings” and all worked well.
My problem was solved.
I then returned to my Google Analytics account to verify that access was authorized. You can do this by going to:
My Account –> Security –> Authorizing applications and sites
At that page I see that Google Analytics for WordPress by Yoast has been granted access.
I hope this works for you, too. If entering the UA code manually doesn’t work, I’m not sure what you should do next. Good luck!
kenai42, thank you. It worked for me too…
Agreed, manual works. But in the tutorials it shows a drop down to select between accounts and sub-domains. I only see the manual UA code entered, even though its been authorized. Should I assume Google Analytics has been installed properly?
Having the same issue too. Yoast, where are you?
same problem here.
manual works, but it would be nice of the plugins will work on auto mode 🙂
