 * How much time passed since installing the plugin? Did you check Real-time tracking?

 * Real-time tracking does work and the correct code is embedded. I was attempting
   to validate the use of Universal Analytics for analytics.js versus ga.js. But
   I guess Demographics and Interests are not supported in Universal Analytics until
   phase 3. Only supported in Classic. Is that correct?

 * Can you give me your website URL to check it?
 * Yes, Demographics and Interests are not supported in Universal Analytics yet.
   Google should add these features soon.

 * The code seems to be in place. It should be working.
 * Are you sure that you have upgraded your Google Analytics account to Universal
   Analytics?

 * I’ve had the same problem forever. Can’t seem to get it to validate. Have both
   the classic and universal installed. Have disabled each one looking for conflicts.
   I read somewhere that Google hasn’t yet implemented a particular WordPress-necessary
   support for Universal Analytics.
 * My site is [http://www.customsignsokc.com](http://www.customsignsokc.com). I’m
   not sure what’s up. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!

 * cwassie and kalenlake, I check both websites and see that you have correctly 
   installed the tracking code. There should not be any issues, unless there is 
   some mis-configuration in your Google Analytics account’s settings.
 * If you want you can submit support ticket at onlineads.lt and we could take a
   closer look at your account.
 * Also, upgrade your plugin to the latest version. 2.1.2 is now available.

 * Thanks for the help. It actually validated today! For some reason I was unable
   to find the line to replace in the code snippet so Universal Analytics would 
   validate.
 * Thanks for the help!
