What am I Doing Wrong?

    Hi there,

    I have recently added Scroll Depth to one of my blogs (over 6000 unique visits so there is ample traffic).

    But nothing is showing up in Analytics Events/Behaviours

    • I’m using Universal Analytics but the object is still ‘ga’
    • ‘scrolldepth’ appears in the source
    • Normal Google Analytics is working fine
    • ScrollDepth appears after the Google Analytics code
    • We’re not using Google Tag Manager as there’s no need in the context of this blog
    • I’ve tried changing ‘gtmoverride’ but it has no effect.

    What could I be doing wrong? If I can get it working on this blog I intend on rolling this out to a larger on.
    Thanks in Advance,

    Martin

    Excellent bug report!

    First some easy stuff:
    Make sure both “gaGlobal” and “Event Handler” fields are completely empty in settings.

    If you’re comfortable using the browser console, could you run
    console.log( window["GoogleAnalyticsObject"])
    Hopefully it returns “ga”

    And
    console.log(typeof(jQuery.scrollDepth))
    should return “function” if all is going well.

    Ah…
    I updated WordPress and plugins on our own site, and didn’t see any events!
    Perhaps you’re having the same problem: we filter out our company IP addresses in Analytics. ??

    Please let me know.
    If you’re still having issues, could you post your URL?

    Hi there, thanks for getting back to me!

    • gaGlobal and Event Hander are (and were) empty
    • console.log( window["GoogleAnalyticsObject"]) give “Undefined” error (which is odd as Google Analytics itself is working fine.
    • console.log(typeof(jQuery.scrollDepth)) also gives “VM272:1 Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined(…)”
    • The site had nearly 300 visits yesterday so even if I were filtering out our IP address (which we are not) there should still be data to play with

    URL is a personal health and gaming blog fibrojedi.me.uk.

    I thought maybe it was because I had jQuery in the footer, but I’ve kept it in the header using an exclusion (I’m using the plugin ‘Scrips to Footer’ to help with page speed)

    Final Edit: it looks like your script is attempting to trigger prior to to the script tag pulling in jQuery which may be the issue. As this is done via wp_head I don’t know an easy way of re-arranging this…unless you declaration can go just before the </body> tag?

    Thanks!

    Following up on this.
    Looks like it’s working now?
    Did an update fix it, or did you change a setting?
    I always want to add to the documentation to help new users.
    Thanks.
