AI-generated summary

A discussion on Google Analytics setting configuration is taking place. Idan initially expressed confusion about the settings. dax advised putting the same code in ga tracking code and the domain name (without www or http) in ga domain name.

@Idan then reported issues with seeing visits in the real-time view, but later found that it started working after a few minutes Idan. riking clarified that the ga tracking code is only necessary if the ga universal tracking code is empty.

RyanK asked about using two GA trackers and the recommended approach, seeking reassurance that the second tracker won’t cause issues.

I don’t understand the Google Analytics settings.

If I put the code that Google gives m in the ‘ga universal tracking code’, do I need to fill in the ‘ga tracking code’ and ‘ga domain name’ as well?

Put the same code in ga tracking code, in ga domain name put your domain (yoursite.com) without www or http

I put the UA-xxxxxxx-x (mine is with numbers of course) code in both the ga tracking code, ga universal tracking code and put my domain name in the ga domain name, but I can’t see any visits in the real-time view.

I tried refreshing the page and browsing through various topics but it still shows 0.

It start showing, so I guess it just takes a few minutes

The “ga tracking code” only does something if the “ga universal tracking code” is empty, so you can just remove that.

If I wanted to use two GA trackers, is there a recommended way to do that? I have been using the GA field in settings, but want to make sure that the second one doesn’t cause any issues.
