Google Analytics 4

[tresero]

Does this theme support GA4?

We'll soon sunset Universal Analytics
On July 1, 2023, Universal Analytics will stop processing new hits. If you still rely on Universal Analytics, we urge you to prepare for the future by moving over to Google Analytics 4, our next-generation measurement solution.

Yes, the GA4 is supported since v1.0.0-alpha.0

hugo-theme-bootstrap/exampleSite/config/production/config.toml

Line 2 in b9c704c

googleAnalytics = "G-CL2BTGQE56"

As always thanks!

[tresero]

BTW, you may want to add that in the comment on the config.

[razonyang]

Done, https://hbs.razonyang.com/v1/en/docs/configuration/site/, thanks for pointing it out.

[tresero]

No worries.

I'm not sure you are using the right GA4 javascript.

Check https://salsablanca.com it seems that it's using the old analytics.js?

I could be wrong of course, but it's not sending any events. I'm using the same site settings as the old site.

[razonyang]

Hi, does your googleAnalytics(config.toml) begin with G-? It should work since my blog site and the docs site are using GA4.

[razonyang]

Please also check the config/_default/config.toml and the config/production/config.toml, I guess that the googleAnalytics isn't correct, the GA4 ID should begin with G-.

[tresero]

I don't believe that's correct anymore.

I found it, their docs are so confusing.

[tresero]

Still doesn't work. I have no idea, is there anyway to just add this manually?

[razonyang]

I saw the GA4 script is shown correctly on your site now, just wait a minute to see if it works or not.

[tresero]

Yes, I guess it really isn't real time :)

Thanks again!

[razonyang]

You're welcome, please mark an answer if it helps.

[tresero]

How do I do that? All I see is smiley face

@tresero Oops, sorry, I forgot that is under the General not Q&A, just ignore it.
