I follow this guide here Google Analytics Extension - MainWP Documentation and get stuck at step 7 which for me, the UI is different and doesn’t show that dropdown menu, but instead, goes straight to ask me if this is for internal or external use - and won’t allow anything other than External use since I don’t have a paid google Workspace account (never wanted or needed one).
I cannot progress beyond that point and so am quite stuck.
Any ideas or tips?
I have paid for MainWP and currently am trying to test it on a persona site, to see if I want to/can migrate client sites away from ManageWP, which just keeps getting worse and I want to leave behind.
I just went into Google Console, to take the screenshots, and lo and behold, while not showing the dropdown list option right away, it’s taken me to a new page/screen with that dropdown.
I swear yesterday it did not do that. I was in circles for ages trying to see the same as the guide.
Ok, so I managed to follow all the steps this time.
I’ve gone to upload the JSON file to MainWP, and clicked the Connect button.
It tells me success, and in the Manage Accounts tab it shows me the account from the JSON.
But if I go to ‘visitor data’ tab and it tells me “No data available” and has a blue button to Connect Google Account again.
Glad to hear you’ve managed to get past that screen.
After you add the account, the next step is to assign the Analytics properties to your Child Sites.
For that, please see the “Assigning sites from your Google Account to Child Sites in your MainWP Dashboard” section from the KB:
This is an oversight on our end and we will fix that warning message.
If the account is showing as connected on the Manage Accounts page (which on your screenshot, it is), next step would be to assign the Analytics property to the relevant child site.
