Thank you Mircea.

I’ve followed the instructions but am running into some additional trouble.

1) Confused about where to find the GA4 ID in the plugin settings

In the instructions you’ve linked to, I am having trouble with this part under the heading “Capturing Consent for Specific Services (Advanced)”

“For example, let’s say you have a service with the ID facebook_pixel configured in the plugin settings.”

Where would I find the GA4 ID in the plugin settings?

In WPConsent, since I only see the cookie “Google Tag Manager”, I’m not able to see where any ID would be for GA4.

Due to the above issue, I am not able to test per these instructions:

“For a thorough test, accept a specific service (like Facebook Pixel) but decline the general category it might be in.”

The reason is that there is no way to do so for Google Analytics, since the only cookie that appears says “Google Tag Manager.”

That said, we have a Google Tag Manager cookie under “Statistics” and a Google Maps cookie under “Marketing”. Attempting to turn them on or off also turns on or off the entire category. I guess this because there is only one item in each category?

I can confirm I have enabled “Allow site visitors to toggle individual services from the preferences panel.” I clicked on Save.

2) Floating toggle doesn’t appear

I also tried to enable this setting: “Show a floating button to manage consent after the banner is dismissed.”

However, the floating button never appears. I needed this so I could test the cookie by turning them on and off without having to re-open a new Incognito mode for each preference.

I cleared WP Engine and Cloudflare cache and got the same results. I also cleaned Asset Cleanup cache. Those are the only caches I’m aware of on the site.

I’m sorry if this is obvious, but I just couldn’t figure out.

I really appreciate the guidance. If these are known issues, or if I’ve configured something incorrectly, please let me know.

Thank you again.

Hello Mircea , thank you for your reply.

I think something is not right. The plugin blocks on first load, but if there is reload, it stops blocking.

I can confirm:

• Script blocking is enabled
• Google Consent mode is off
• I’m now testing on a live site and viewing in incognito mode in Chrome

Google’s AI mode explains it to me this way when I copy and paste the ga code and ask it to tell me if the cookies are being blocked:

This is not blocking. In fact, this is the “loosest” configuration you have shown yet. It is essentially No Consent Mode at all.

Here is the breakdown of why this is non-compliant for regions like Quebec or the EU:

1. The gcd parameter is “Default” (13l3l3l3l1l1)

The “l” in this string stands for “Not Set.” This tells Google that your consent plugin has not communicated any status (neither denied nor granted). As a result, Google Analytics is running at full capacity as if no privacy law applies.

2. The gcs parameter is Missing

In your earlier attempts, you had gcs=G100 (which meant “Consent Denied, sending cookieless ping”). In this current version, that parameter is gone.

Not only that, but after I click “reject”, the cookie remains.

Is there a way to fix this so that the plugin absolutely blocks all cookies even if a page is reloaded, or loaded once, or in any other circumstance? And of course, when cookies have been rejected?

Thank you again for your help.

I really appreciate your fast reply!

Thank you so much.

However, the client will need to add admins on their own later. If this code only applies to a user ID, that would mean the client could add a new admin, then log in with that other user account, and have full access, is that correct?

Also, this still leaves the GeneratePress menu item available, and from there, they can access all the Customize settings, even if the menu item itself is not available in the left sidebar.

Is there a way to disable, and not just hide these settings, either for a particular user ID or for everyone?

Thank you again.

Where can we see the bugs being worked on in your queue? It would help to know what issues you already are aware of before taking the time to carefully write out these support tickets.

Thank you

I have discovered that if we navigate to Tickets > Attendees, we don’t get the full attendee information.

If we click on “Attendees” from the editor where we have created at ticket, then we are taken to a page with attendees for one event. That is where we can export a CSV with the attendee information fields.

This is a bit bizarre. I would suggest a feature whereby attendee fields show up in all exports that indicate a list of attendees.

How does one navigate to the attendee page for one event from the WordPress menus? Is there an easier way to get to this page?

This appears fixed now

Thank you very much for this. Will this be folded into your core plugin eventually? Or will I need to continue to use this snippet indefinitely?
