gtm_auth and gtm_preview parameters

    I have a number of issues and questions –

    1. Under the Advanced tab of your plugin, there is an input box labeled “Environment gtm_auth parameter”. It also says “Both gtm_auth and gtm_preview parameters are required to activate the desired environment.” But I don’t know what these gtm_auth and gtm_preview parameters are and more importantly where to find them in my Tag Manager account!!! Where can I find these parameters? Also, will GTM installed with your plugin work without these parameters inserted in those boxes?

    2. I don’t see Tag Manager code for the Head section (installed with your plugin) in my homepage using ‘view page source’, although I can see it in some other pages. What’s wrong here and how to fix it?

    3. I don’t see the Iframe part of the TGM code anywhere in my site! How can I fix this?

    4. Under the Security tab, I see “Google Analytics Tag (universal, latest)” listed. But mine is “GA4 Configuration”. Should I check this “”Google Analytics Tag (universal, latest)”” box? They don’t look the same? Will TGM work if I don’t check it?

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    Generarly speaking, if you do not understand an option or feature, you most probably do not need to use it.

    1. If you specifically created an environment in GTM for example to separate Dev from Live site, you will be equipped with the two mentioned parameters in the environment specific GTM container code:

    2. Most probably a theme issue, please check with your theme dev if the so called wp_head hook is called everywhere.

    It can be also a cache issue: some pages are served from older cache entries, some are already regenerated with your GTM code

    3. Same is 2 but instead of wp_head, you should check wp_body_open next to your site cache

    4. I will add new checkboxes in the next plugin version to controll GA4 tags but restricting tags that way is usually an edge case

    Hi.

    Looks like I don’t need 1 & 4. The rest I guess needs to be resolved with the theme dev. Anyway, thanks for the reply!
