Analytics

Hello,

We are actually not familiar with the GADWP plugin. Based on our knowledge of how google analytics works, you normally need to add a push event when the links are clicked to log the event within GA.

Because the links are not treated the same as pages for instance it is likely their are no events being logged to GA. In which case the Dashboard plugin does not have any data to pull.

This is just a theory.

If you can figure out what needs to be added to the output of the links to make this work, I will be happy to help you adjust the link output.

Cheers

Hi,

@jsarapik that’s a bug. I’ll have a look and see how can I fix it. That icon shouldn’t be there, because is meant to display reports for posts and pages only.

@mat-lipe: Basically GADWP uses posts and pages IDs in conjunction with get_permalink() function to retrieve segmented data, using URIs as filters, from GA. In addition outbound/affiliate links are tracked as events. (I just wanted to give you the technical explanation of why these reports won’t work on Simple Links dashboard).

Great plugin, congrats!
