   I have tried several times now to enter my GA-code in the form, but pressing te Update Google Analytics Settings replaces my code with '1', and resets all other settings too (like checks the 'track administrator...'- checkbox.
   Latest update of WP and of GA for WP-plugin. Suggestions?

   I am having the same problem. I tried deleting the plugin completely, removing it from my server, and completely downloading and re-installing a fresh copy.

   Hopefully, someone has a fix!

   Are either of you using WP 2.7.* rather than 2.8.*?

   I have 4 blogs where this is working fine, but one which still uses 2.7 because of theme upgrading issues I'm still working on and I can't get updates to stick for the 2.7 blog.

   There are also some display issues where parts of the display show things like:

   <tt>checked="checked" checked="checked" checked="checked" checked="checked"</tt>

   I checked the required version of WP listed on the plugin site and it says 2.7 should be OK.

   I am having the same issue and experience. Additionally at the bottom of my admin pages I am getting the error:

   Warning: call_user_func_array(): First argumented is expected to be a valid callback, 'ga_admin::success' was given in /client/home/wordpress/docs/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 339

   I am using Worpress 2.8.4.

   Same issue for me. Just upgraded a site from 2.3 to 2.8.4. Upgraded the GA for WP plug-in. Tried de-activating, deleting the plug-in, downloading from the developers website, re-activating etc - same behavior.

   I have another site that I just checked that's been running 2.8.4 and I just noticed that it has the same message "Google Analytics settings reset to default" and the Analytics Account ID: says "1".

   I did a quick check in the MySql database for the string that holds the Google Analytics settings. It's inside of the "wp-options" table, and under the "option_name" of "GoogleAnalyticsPP". All the settings are there. And are not deleted when reseting Google Analytics settings.

   Any advice?

   I have figured out a solution!

   Simply delete the record from the MySql database. This seems to allow Google Analytics to rewrite your settings.

   Of course, editing your MySql database is a bit harder than it sounds, but a quick google search will reveal some results!

   Good luck!

   I've also done some further investigation. I also checked the MySQL database wp-options table, GoogleAnalyticsPP record. I found all of the original settings (prior to the plug-in upgrade) still stored there including the UA tracking number even though the Google Analytics UA tracking number wouldn't show up in the Dashboard User Interface (settings->google anlaytics). I checked my Google Analytics reports and they all continued to collect data properly after the upgrade.

   I think this is a bug in the Form (the User Interface) display only. It appears that after an upgrade (in certain situations) the user interface will display the UA tracking code as a "1" and display all the other options as though they are reset, even though the entries in the database are correct and reporting continues uninterrupted. I also thought about deleting the record from the database to force a new re-write which Shayzorblade noted above.

   I had the same problem, having upgraded to wp 2.8.4, and upgrading the Analytics plugin immediately afterwards.

   Shayzorblade's solution worked for me too (thanks!) -- deleting the GoogleAnalyticsPP record from the wp-options table, then saving the new options using the form.
