Google Analytics Search

[CrushReviews]

Hi,

I recently messaged you about Google Analytics not showing the search data. You instructed me to use “ajax_search” as the Query Parameter, and it now works perfect. I have another site that I use the Lite version of your plugin on and updated it to the same, but so far no results. Is there something different I need to do on the Lite version or the plugin? I am using Universal Analytics and I do have “Enable search Google Analytics integration” turned on.

Thanks,
James

Hi James,

The default configuration should work for the lite version as well. I’m guessing there might be javascript related issue or something similar there. The screenshot looks fine to me.

Also, make sure the Google analytics pageview string for the lite version is:

[html]?ajax_search={asl_term}[/html]

Note that there is one character difference in that string from the Pro version. (the string is asl_term in the lite version instead of asp_term)

If that sits as well, there might be a different problem. If you can, please link the page here and I will take a look.

Sorry for the delay. Here is the site in question: http://beatthecpa.com/

Hi!

I’ve checked the configuration, the page source and the console, but I could not find any errors.

Then I remembered I had a tag assistant extension available by google, which tells you if there are issues with the analytics tracking code. When I run the extension on your page, I see this error: http://i.imgur.com/fE89lNc.png

Missing analytics.js script

Which is weird, because I can see the analytics integration code, although it looks a bit different from the recommended one here: https://goo.gl/Nl5HK

My guess is that during the page load something either unloads/changes this script. I honestly don’t know.

Oddly enough I came back from the weekend and it appears to be working now. Thank you for your help!
