Thanks, yes, that took care of the error message. Not sure if that will suffice for Google Shopping, but perhaps the only way is to use different EAN for all weights.

F.y.i. It did seem to work in the beginning 2 times, as I was able to hide some apps and logout.
Cache’s been emptied repeatedly after changes to the settings.

As mentioned, I don’t get anything. The result after after I just selected Combine CSS and pressed save, was exactly the same window as before I did it.

I can’t see any way to attach a screenshot here.

@jamesosborne Yes, I did update to the latest version of Site Kit.

Also, the original problem wasn’t due to Squirrly SEO, since I installed that just a few days ago.

Solved.

@reneesoffice Sorry, I was travelling last week. Anyway, I solved the problem, but don’t know what did it.

– On the Analytics account, I had two profiles on the same account tied to the same website. I tried to erase one, but ended up erasing both accounts. So I had to recreate a new analytics account.
– And link the account to Google Ads.
– Then I had to erase all old Google tags and add a new one to the site.
– I erased the old Site Kit and installed the latest version.
Still didn’t work.
– I checked and saw that a plugin, Squirrly SEO was somehow adding the old Analytics account in the php-code. It couldn’t be found in cpanel, but in Squirrly there is a section to disable Analytics.

After this the Site Kit problem disappeared. Though, I ended up losing all history on analytics.

@adamsilverstein Here are a few screenshots taken a few minutes ago logged in as admin and after the approval process.

@reneesoffice I did discover the problem with the Rest API. Apparently a setting in the cache plugin W3 Total Cache, which needs to be switched off under Performance > Page cache > Rest API. With this the error message under WP site health disappeared.

I also saw an error message in the console relating to the cache plugin PhastPress, which I disabled.

However, both those things didn’t fix the problem with Site kit. I installed it again and took similar screenshots as before.

@reneesoffice Thanks for taking the issue seriously!

I don’t get any particular error message in the browser, aside from “Issue accessing data
You need to reauthenticate your Google account.” and “Analytics activation Analytics module needs to be configured COMPLETE ACTIVATION” in an endless loop.

However, I activated dev mode and took screenshot of the console throughout the process. It seems the ‘disabled’ Rest API is causing an error message.

Could the issue that I somehow misconfigured the Google Analytics account? The error message is a bit cryptic.

Thanks for the responses!

Do you have a theme feature, plugin or function which restricts REST access?

The service provider responded they do not have any specific Rest API restriction. They make one WordPress plugin that I’m using and say their plugins are not interfering with the Rest API. They mention that on of the cache plugins I use might be causing the issue.

So I disabled all plugins (but the one they make), emptied all cache, and tried to install Google Site Kit again. I did the whole sequence twice without any improvement. Still the same error message.

@orangemonkey777 along with the above question, could you confirm how many sites you’re using Site Kit on?

I’m just using it on one site.

Sure. I logged in with my admin account and tried to reset plugin at (Site Kit > Settings > Admin Settings > Reset Site Kit). I did it several times and nothing happened. I repeated the steps 3 browsers (Chrome, Safari and Mozilla) without results. Plugin status was ‘Site Kit is connected’.

After this I completely uninstalled and erased Site Kit, emptied all cache, and then reinstalled the newest Site Kit version from WordPress. I tried to press reset again, but nothing happened. Did the same Analytics installation steps as 100 times before without any effect.

The server site health is no critical issues, but 4 minor issues: remove (two) inactive plugins, remove (two) inactive themes, a scheduled event is late (ads cron image upload event), and the Rest API encountered an unexpected result (403 code rest disabled). I’ve heard none of the above issues are important.

The site is hosted by https://alidropship.com/hosting/ in TX, USA.

Same problem. Locked in an infinite loop of WordPress dashboard of
1. “You need to reauthenticate your Google account. Click here.”
2. Sign in with Google > Choose an account to continue to Site Kit
3. Grant Site Kit permission > Edit Google Analytics management entities
4. You are allowing Site Kit to: > Edit Google Analytics management entities, Manage Google Analytics Account users by email address, View your Google Analytics data, View and manage your Google Analytics data, You already gave Site Kit access to: Associate you with your personal info on Google > See your personal info, including any personal info you’ve made publicly available, etc, Manage the list of sites and domains you control
5. Back to homepage, where WordPress row with Site Kit says “Analytics Activation > Complete Activation”

Tried using different browsers (Explorer, Chrome, Safari) and computers (Mac, Win). Enabling all cookies for the (WordPress) site and accounts.google.com. Verified site property by URL listed at the Search Console. Reinstalled at least once.
