 * Same here. Figured it was a failure with the auto upgrade, but it appears if 
   you manually download it, it breaks it as well.

 * Info from Yoast on Twitter: If you already updated Google Analytics by Yoast,
   go into FTP and delete the plugin. Then reinstall. We’ve rolled back the faulty
   release.

 * I have resolved the issue on my website [I Like That Look](http://ilikethatlook.com)
   what I did was went to my cpanel and deleted the analytics by yoast file in plugin
   folder using file manager. Cheers

   plugin 🙂

 * Following the advice above, removed the plugin. Admin came back. Reinstalled 
   the plugin. Admin back to whitescreen again. Don’t know if update has been pushed
   out fully across WP plugin cdn? I’m in Chicago USA

 * I’m sorry – I’m not website-savvy, so I don’t know how to manually re-install
   those when I can’t get into my website’s dashboard. I downloaded the zip file
   you listed above, but I don’t know what to do with it. Can you give me more instructions?
