Google Analytics for WordPress

The Google Analytics for WordPress plugin has changed ownership from Yoast to MonsterInsights and UBS stewards will be updating to the current iteration on August 9th, 2018.  This change will require that users re-authenticate with Google Analytics in order to continue tracking analytics data on your UBS site.

The updated version of this plugin has been made available in the QUAL environment (https://qual.sites.utexas.edu) for testing.

Instructions to re-authenticate

  • Log in to your site dashboard
  • Open the left hand menu item, “Insights” (formerly called “Analytics”)
  • Follow the instructions to re-authenticate with Google Analytics

NOTE: If you are looking for instructions for setting up Google Analytics for the first time, please visit this post for more information.
