Part of Google analytics code showing in header of mobile version

[consultparv]

Hey guys,

I installed version 2.0.3 of the google analytics plugin, copied my tracking code, clicked update, and it seemed to work okay. But when I tried to view the page on my iphone, the following shows in the header:

https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-110380891-1

On further investigation my original tracking code is the following:

<!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-110380891-1"></script>
<script>
  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
  gtag('js', new Date());

  gtag('config', 'UA-110380891-1');
</script>

But when I enter it in Google Analytics and press “update”, it changes to this:

<!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-110380891-1
<script>
  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
  gtag('js', new Date());

  gtag('config', 'UA-110380891-1');
</script>

Please help me look into it. My website is www.consultparv.com, thanks for your help.

Hello There,

Thanks for writing in! There is a known issue with the plugin and it removed the script tags when you insert the tag manager code. We do not have a fix yet. I would recommend that you use alternative Google Analytics plugin like (https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-analytics-for-wordpress/) for the moment.

Hope this helps.

Hi. I am having the same issue with the Google tag displaying at the top of my site (on mobile devices and desktop). It is not fixed by deactivating the Google Analytics plugin. Suggestions?
