@classies Thanks for the feedback, along with suggestion for future releases. In relation to the blank screen you are encountering you may have been encountering the same problem as reported in this GitHub issue. We have just updated the plugin with a fix for this (v1.1.4).
Can you update the plugin and check if the same issue occurs?
If you are already using the latest version of the plugin and the issue remains you can you share your URL and I can see if I notice anything from my side which may be impacting reporting?
Yes, it’s still there as I updated to the latest version this morning.
Usually when a plugin has an item in the admin bar that has more info (ex Yoast) it just shows a menu that can be clicked on for more info if needed.
Sitekit however slightly overdoes this as everything is already available from the internal admin with no need for a full width dropdown which may, or may not, be working.
Please consider the option to remove this from the admin bar for future releases, which will save having to use another plugin to remove it.
@classies Thanks for the update. When you mentioned it’s still there are you referring to no stats being recorded on the admin bar? Let me know if so and we can troubleshoot further. If it is the case whereby no stats are being displayed please check from a browser incognito window and also ensure stats appear in the regular admin panel dashboard.
I have added your suggestion for admin bar as a feature request at the plubins website. You can keep track of it there, thanks for the feedback.
Ok, so I left it for awhile and the stats in the admin bar started working.
This method is far from perfect as it takes several moments to load up the stats, and when they do, those stats can be found in the back end admin where they load up almost immediately, and theres no loss of real estate on the front page.
Whereas some people might like it, I’d bet that many more won’t like it and would prefer a way to get google sitekit off the front page admin bar.
@classies Thanks for the update, good to know it’s loading for you. As Site Kit is pulling the live data from your Google account there can be a slight delay.
You can keep track of the issue I’ve created for you on the plugins GitHub here. Thanks again for the suggestion, all feedback very welcome.
