Client has two Wordpress Folders
-
My client has 2 WP folders (one is the main site, and one was for an added blog, don't ask me why they did it that way).
They sent me the login for Google Analytics, and the first thing I see is 2 profiles, one for the main site, and one for the blog. Doesn't the code in the head of the main page cover ALL the subdirectories too? I could see this if it were a subdomain, but not in a subdirectory.
Thanks in advance.

Ahh... good call John. If he wants everything under one analytics roof that's exactly what to do.

Ooh, good idea. Let me send an email to the webmaster and ask him to try that...

Just a thought. I'm not sure you have to have two separate GA accounts in this case. Since you have two separate WP installs, couldn't you take the code that's on the main domain and also apply it to the /blog/ installation, using whatever plugin you're using?
The main issue you're running into, I think, is that the GA installation on the main site doesn't automatically work for the /blog/ because of two different installations.

I was thinking the same thing with the 2 different WP folders... out of my control and I can't see why either.
-
I could be wrong, but I think they are kept separate in that case.
The WP installation in the root directory (the main site) creates the header code for only the pages that WP installation creates - not all pages that happen to be in other subdirectories.
You're right, though I'm not sure why it was done that way? Maybe it was once just WP for the blog? Maybe they wanted to keep the design different?
But I think in this case the GA accounts are kept isolated. Hopefully I've understood the question. You can always just look at the source code or the analytics themselves too to tell.

Can you track two Google Analytics Accounts on one site?
If you have a site that had an old analytics account and then implemented a new one is it possible to run tracking code that records to both accounts without causing your site or data issues? We are doing this so we don't loose data at any point - ideally it wouldn't have been split between the two but making one redundant isn't an option. Ideally we would have merged the data from both accounts and had one - however the research we have done points to this not being a possibility - unless one of you guys knows different? It would be great if anyone has experience on any this.. Thanks

How to filter out client traffic
Hi, I would like to filter out traffic in GA that comes to my client site just to login into their application. Is there a way to create a filter or segment that if a visitor exits the site to a subdomain it will filter them out? For example, they land on the homepage (abc.com/), click the login tab (drop down screen) and login and go to their application dashboard (app.abc.com/). I would like to delete this traffic segment as it is creates high bounce rates and makes it difficult to test landing pages. Thanks so much, Donna 🙂

Tracking Social Interactions with GA and WordPress
Hi, One of the things I'm looking to do is to track clicks on my social follow buttons. I know I can try to add GA events for each button and go from there. But in order to simplify the process, I'm looking for a WP plugin that can help. Currently I've only come across AddThis and Share This as viable options, though Add This has very mixed reviews, and Share This isn't updated for WP 3.6.1. For my social shares at the end of blog posts I'm wondering the same thing about tracking shares. I've used AddThis in the past with success in tracking shares, but I wanted to see what other are doing or if there's a newer technique. The bottom line is that I want to try to see as much of the "social" as I can in GA. Thank you in advance!!

Sudden dramatic drop in "some but not all" keyphrase rankings for client, 3 weeks ago
I noticed recently that 4 of my keyphrases which ranked on page one, and were climbing 3 weeks ago, have suddenly dropped to > 50. What could have happened? I did find an issue with my sitemap (yoast generated), but why would that suddenly change? And even more importantly, how do I fix it?

Does analytics track an order two times by refresh on the confirmation-page?
Hi there,
Reporting & Analytics | | Webdannmark
I have a quick question. Does Google analytics track an order two times, if the user buys a product, see the confirmation page and then click refresh/click or back and forward again?
The order/tracking data must be the same, but i guess the tracking code runs for every refresh and therefore tracks the order two times in Analytics or does analytics know that it is the same order? Someone that can clearify this?Thanks! Regards
