Support for demographics in GA

randler,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention; actually, it is sometimes possible to customize well-written plugins with just a bit of extra code. So while we figure out whether, when, and where we’d want to add a feature like this, you can add this code to the functions.php of your theme or to a plugin, and have this solved today:

function randler_display_advertising( $analytics ) {
	return str_replace( "'https://ssl' : 'https://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';", "'https://' : 'https://') + 'stats.g.doubleclick.net/dc.js';", $analytics );
}
add_filter( 'aiosp_google_analytics', 'randler_display_advertising' );

Hi @peter,

Thanks for the suggestion as I am also facing the same problem.
1. Does it really work If you put this code under the functions.php child theme?
2. Anything else do I have to verify with google analytics site after putting and updating these codes?

Let me know

abinashm,

1. Yes, this code should really work if you put it in the functions.php of your theme, child or otherwise.
2. This doesn’t do verification; there’s a section for that in the settings under “Webmaster Verification”. For Google Analytics, you don’t need to verify, just make sure you have your UA number entered in properly.

Thanks Peter,

Let me try and I will let you know if that works ??

Hi,

I am also trying to make the demographic features work with AIOS plugin but I couldn’t yet. I added the snippet above in my functions.php but can’t see the changes in the GA code. Is the filter name correct?

Thanks.

___ i did put the codes into the functions.php and check my analytics . I can still see this problem .
Though i put the code on the functions.php , it won’t still track/see the demographics . What will be the function of your given code ? Im confused a little

Hi Allexis,

Please start a new thread for your issue; also, this patch is now obsolete, so just make sure you have the latest version of the plugin, it already has code for this built in (enable the “Display Advertising” Tracking option).

Hi! PLEASE HELP!
I have updated to the most recent version of the plug in AND enabled demographic data, but Google still gives me the error message, “Your Demographics and Interest Reports have been enabled, but your Analytics tracking code does not include the necessary support to show them. Learn more about the simple, one-line, one-time change to your tracking code to add this support.”

Can you help??

Hi thelawstudentswife,

You will need to compare the Google Analytics code inserted by All in One SEO Pack with the Google Analytics code provided by Google. Compare the code line by line and look for any differences. Let us know what those differences are.

Hi! I understand that these are the instructions from Google. However, I am unable to locate where the plug in put the Google analytics code in my site. I searched through everything theme file, and cannot find it. I put my analytics ID into the plug in setting page, but that is the only place where I can find any GA info.

It puts it in the source code of the site which you can view in your browser.

I’m sorry but I do not understand WHERE the code is. Is it in a theme file? The plug in editor? I cannot find where in my theme files the code is inserted. I even called my host, and they could not locate it either. In what file do I find the code???
I’m not trying to be difficult–I’ve just spent an hour trying to resolve this with no luck and really appreciate your help!

It’s not in any file, you have to look at the source code of your website in your browser and you will see the code under where it says All in One SEO Pack.
