In our Google search console integration we do talk to Google, but only after you click the authenticate button and authenticate with Google yourself. If you simply refrain from using our Google search console feature, you should have no problem.

Sorry to hear that! Could anyone perhaps provide a more elaborate bug report, preferrably on GitHub? We’ve written some guidelines on how to write a good bug report here.

Thanks

We’ve uglified the JavaScript and added a few lines of css that should in no way affect your layout.

Unless you have JS errors in your console coming from yoast_ga_admin.min.jsit seems quite unlikely to me that it was something in the update.

See the changelog for other changes.

We’re unable to reproduce this issue. Could you please create a bugreport here, following our bug reporting guidelines.

It would be very helpful if you could also include screenshots of the JS console in your browser, showing possible JS errors.

Thanks

Ok, thanks for your feedback. Diving in deeper…

Hi all,

We’ve investigated this thread and came up with the following. So far there seem to be three issues:

1) For most of you the authenticate button seems to no longer be working.
2) The dropdown list with GA profiles seems to be gone for some.
3) Selecting the option to submit your UA-code manually seems to be broken.

Problem 1 and 3 have to do with JavaScript not working. You should be able to solve the problem by clearing the browser cache and refreshing the page (maybe a couple of times). Please let me know if this solves your problem.

I think problem 2 is unrelated. After an update, it can happen that the profile list is gone. However, the UA-code should still be there and should be visible in the general settings tab. If you’d like to select another profile, you need to re-authenticate with GA. If I’ve misunderstood the problem, please let me know. If you were unable to authenticate with GA because of the button not working, please try the solution described above.

@kevinpowertv,

Please try our beta and let us know if it fixes your problem

First of all, we never actually succeeded in reproducing this issue. For possible solutions, we started simply looking at the feedback of people who reported this issue and came up with the hypothesis that the issue was caused by the great amount of class_defined checks in our code. We got that idea from a documented 5.3 bug in https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=59298 and could confirm that many people reporting the issue were running on 5.3

Since we started properly autoloading and prefixing all of our classes, those checks no longer really made sense. So we removed them, which hopefully resolves the Zend issue and as an extra benefit gives the plugin a pretty good performance boost.

We’re hopeful this will fix the issue for a lot of people, but we currently have no way of being sure.

BTW with this beta we’ve also enabled a more lightweight use of our plugin by adding setting to completely disable the dashboards functionality.

So should you bother? I guess the changes we’ve done so far are worth a try. If the beta doesn’t do the trick for you, then at least you’ve helped us rule out a few directions on our way to a proper solution ??

We think this problem was caused by a bug in PHP 5.3. We’ve released a beta with a fix for this issue here:

https://yoast.com/downloads/beta/google-analytics-for-wordpress-5.3-beta.zip

If everything goes well, we’ll do a stable release next week.

We’ve also written a blogpost on our ideas with regard to beta testing:

Please let us know if this fixes your problem.

Ok, so we’ve decided to make public beta’s a regular part of our release cycle. You can find the beta with a fix for this issue here:

We’ve also added the possibility to completely disable the dashboards. If you disable them, the GA admin menu item also gets moved downwards since you’ll probably need it less often.
