Hi there!

Is it safe to use that SEO plugin and Google Analytics by Yoast?

Thanks

Hey Hardik,

Thanks for writing in. So far it doesn’t cause any problem. Just don’t insert GA code in the Customizer’s JS box if you’ll use that plugin.

Before and after installing and activating the plugin, please check your website if there are problems as we don’t support third party scripts and plugins conflicts with X.

Hope that helps. 🙂

Hi, I installed Yoast WordPress SEO and I’ve not quite understood whether Google Analytics is already in that plug-in or if I have to install it aside (by putting the GA code in the Javascript area of Custom) – in which case, though, you advise not to insert the GA code in the Customizer’s JS box… Ehm! I’m a bit puzzled!

Hi Silvia,

If you use third party plugin then don’t put Google Analytics code in Custom JS option in Customizer.

Hope that helps.

Thanks

This is an old thread, so probably solved by the OP already… but basically you need:

MonsterInsights – Google Analytics Dashboard for WordPress (Website Stats Made Easy)

If you want to use Yoast’s Analytics solution. Or, use some other plugin to add the Google Analytics code to your site (or do it manually… or maybe via X theme, though I haven’t tried that). The Google field in Yoast SEO plugin is for authenticating your site to Google Webmaster Tools.

Hi once more!

Is it recommended to ditch Google Analytics by Yoast https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-analytics-for-wordpress/ since you’ve already introduced a Google Analytics Extension.

My main motive to use that plugin is to block all the clicks done by the administrator himself on his website. Does your own homegrown extension provides this facility?

Thanks!

Hi Hardik,

Our analytics extension is mainly a basic one. It’s optional and you can always use your preferred plugin. Just be sure that they aren’t enabled at once.

Thanks!

Hey everyone, I’d probably second what Hardik N is saying above… to at least implement a feature to exclude the admin user logged in, as this is a very common thing to want to do. If users need more than that, then yes, I’d just go with Yoast’s solution or some other one.

IMO, excluding the logged-in admin should probably be a default setting… so certainly a feature you’d want to add to your extension if possible.
