Title: Universal Analytics & GA4 parallel Last modified: May 4, 2021 --- # Universal Analytics & GA4 parallel * Resolved [W★](https://wordpress.org/support/users/filmpuls/) * (@filmpuls) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/universal-analytics-ga4-parallel/) * Heja Dan, * I do not seem able to manage to get the plugin working for Universal Analytics and GA4 in parallel. GA4 works (G-xxx (v4 API)), but whatever other setting I test for UA-yyy (v3 API), its either Universal Analytics or GA4 that is not working; Universal Analytics is connected to GA4 via tag in analytics. * thanks for advising. * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Funiversal-analytics-ga4-parallel%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) * [ijjimem](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ijjimem/) * (@ijjimem) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/universal-analytics-ga4-parallel/#post-14404005) * Same issue!

In GA configure them to be connected to each other. * Good luck 🙂 - This reply was modified 5 years, 1 month ago by [ijjimem](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ijjimem/). * Thread Starter [W★](https://wordpress.org/support/users/filmpuls/) * (@filmpuls) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/universal-analytics-ga4-parallel/#post-14406121) * [@ijjimem](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ijjimem/) thanks, have tested this already, but without success… have you connected GA4 to General Analytics or the other way round or vice versa? * Plugin Author [Daan van den Bergh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daanvandenbergh/) * (@daanvandenbergh) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/universal-analytics-ga4-parallel/#post-14423911) * Hi! * Can you provide me with steps on how to setup UA alongside GA4?

I have tested to add Google Analytics Tracking ID G-xxx in Basic settings and G4tag.js under advanced settings, and also adding Google Analytics Tracking ID UA-xxx and analytics. js without success. * best, K - This reply was modified 5 years, 1 month ago by [W★](https://wordpress.org/support/users/filmpuls/). * Plugin Author [Daan van den Bergh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daanvandenbergh/) * (@daanvandenbergh) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/universal-analytics-ga4-parallel/#post-14424586) * Hi W, * That clarifies things. 🙂 Thanks! * Short answer: No, CAOS can’t do that. 🙂 It’s either GA4 or UA. Could you provide a use case why that would be a useful feature? Then I’ll consider adding it. 🙂 * Thread Starter [W★](https://wordpress.org/support/users/filmpuls/) * (@filmpuls) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/universal-analytics-ga4-parallel/#post-14424800) 1. the dumbest and at the same time truest of all answers: because a client of mine wants it 2. because a comparison of data from UA and GA4 is a good learning and therefore not without sense 3. and: because it is not possible with CAOS plugin, but with tracking code in header/footer it can be done. * - This reply was modified 5 years, 1 month ago by [W★](https://wordpress.org/support/users/filmpuls/). - This reply was modified 5 years, 1 month ago by [W★](https://wordpress.org/support/users/filmpuls/). - This reply was modified 5 years, 1 month ago by [W★](https://wordpress.org/support/users/filmpuls/). * Thread Starter [W★](https://wordpress.org/support/users/filmpuls/) * (@filmpuls) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/universal-analytics-ga4-parallel/#post-14425129) * all questions answered; thanks Daan! * Plugin Author [Daan van den Bergh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daanvandenbergh/) * (@daanvandenbergh) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/universal-analytics-ga4-parallel/#post-14425142) * Well, since you make such a convincing argument 😉 I started browsing around the interwebs and found [this](https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/ga4/basic-tag?technology=gtagjs). * According to Google’s documentation we should be able to run them both in paralel by simply providing the GA4 ID in a second config attribute. * So, I made [this mini plugin](https://github.com/Dan0sz/caos-ga4-ua) which should do the trick! * Let me know how it goes! * Thread Starter [W★](https://wordpress.org/support/users/filmpuls/) * (@filmpuls) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/universal-analytics-ga4-parallel/#post-14428357) * thanks, Daan – tested it, did not work and even having deleted the mini-plugin and CAOS (removing all data from CAOS) and re-installed CAOS, CAOS plugin is not adding UA-code (checked in the source code) anymore and stopped working 🙁 - This reply was modified 5 years, 1 month ago by [W★](https://wordpress.org/support/users/filmpuls/). * Plugin Author [Daan van den Bergh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daanvandenbergh/) * (@daanvandenbergh) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/universal-analytics-ga4-parallel/#post-14428364) * Page cache? * Thread Starter [W★](https://wordpress.org/support/users/filmpuls/) * (@filmpuls) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/universal-analytics-ga4-parallel/#post-14428584) * first thing I did – checked the SQL (I know, there is a seeting in advanced section to erase all data when uninstalling), but still found some data, probably because I am using CAOS happily for years now. * re-installed and here we go, the magic happens 🙂 🙂 * Plugin Author [Daan van den Bergh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daanvandenbergh/) * (@daanvandenbergh) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/universal-analytics-ga4-parallel/#post-14428603) * So, we’re good.
