Incorrect Tag Manager URL in Codebase

  • Urgent Issue

    The plugin references a domain that is no longer accessible, likely because Google has stopped using it in favor of its traditional subdomain-based service infrastructure. This broken domain reference causes the Tag Assistant browser extension to throw red errors, complaining of invalid URLs.

    While I didn’t check every plugin file, I did notice this reference hardcoded at least one time in “/public/frontend.php” on line 735.

    Hopefully this reference to a now-invalid URL doesn’t (or hasn’t) messed with our Data Layer or overall tracking, but this remains to be seen.

    Hopefully this helps the issue get some attention and might help someone else facing the same thing. Cheers!

    Hi,

    I’ve enabled a GTM container on the dev site of this project

    https://woo.gtm4wp.dev/

    The container is loaded correctly from here:

    https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id=GTM-MV676W

    If you are referring to the legacy tag assistant chrome extension, you should remove it as it is outdated and shows lots of false positive errors (for example it can not recognize container IDs that have more than 6 letters after GTM-)

    Hi Thomas,

    Thanks for your response! I am aware that the Google Tag Assistant extension is outdated and that we should be using Tag Manager’s in-built checker – however, this one still complains about an invalid domain being called.

    Do you think it’s a local DNS issue that causes my inability to load the “googletagmanager.com” domain in my browser? Is it simply not accessible via browsers by default? If so, why would Google’s tools also complain about it?

    Thanks for your assistance here – I just want to make sure something didn’t change at Google that requires my immediate attention. Cheers.

    Jesse
