 * In an attempt to stop the SPAM getting hold of the UA- number i have used the
   unicode instead so that if bots scrape the page it’s more difficult to spot the
   UA- code..
 * google-analytics-dashboard-for-wp/front/tracking/code-universal.php
 * ga(‘\u0063\u0072\u0065\u0061\u0074\u0065’, ‘\u0055\u0041’+'<?php echo esc_html(
   str_replace(‘UA’,”,$profile[2])); ?>’,
 * and
 *  window.google_analytics_uacct = “‘\u0055\u0041’+'<?php echo esc_html(str_replace(‘
   UA’,”,$profile[2])); ?>'”;
 * It’s a great plugin, analytics is being trashed by spammers getting the UA details,
   a slightly more convoluted way would be to use a javascript function to decrypt
   the UA code (just multiply the number by for example the time stamp in php and
   then divide it by that number in javascript) so it’s not actually visible on 
   the page for people to scrape the function can reside on a different ga line 
   also to make even harder for bots to scrape.
 * I have kept my current version simple, as i will have to re-implement the change
   each time you update the plugin.

 * I was hoping it would show up a missing library or something, sorry i am at a
   loss now on how to fix it. Hopefully somebody else will have some ideas on how
   to find out whats wrong. The two errors shown i would expect as it’s just been
   run from the command line.

    It works for me now perfectly,
   on my “WordPress on Ubuntu 13.10” Droplet, after adding the json. If it does 
   not work though, just run it from the command line to see what else is missing
   using “php installer.php” (Not official but at least it showed me what my configuration
   was missing)

 * Thanks @lifeinthegrid
 * Once the php5-json was installed, it worked perfectly.
 * It’s a fantastic plugin, pure and simple.

 * Just to say, that i have the same problem with a blank screen, with a droplet
   on digital ocean.
 * I had it working on a previous droplet fine, but this time i have tried to configure
   fastcgi & opcache has turned on.
 * (Duplicator) Installer.php with an archive.zip and database.sql.
 * I an trying to work out what happened, but at the moment i’m at a loss. Any ideas?
 * The Ubuntu 13 php does not come with json installed.
 * sudo apt-get install php5-json
