[Plugin: Google Analytics for WordPress] Google Analytics is not active. HELP!

After the latest wp.org upgrade I re-activated my plugins and when checking the settings of each plugin just now on the Google Analytics for WordPress Configuration I am getting the message:

“Google Analytics is not active. You must select which Analytics Profile to track before it can work.”

I only have 1 GA account and have never had this issue in over two years.

When I click on “re-authenticate with Google” I get redirected to the grant access page click “Grant Access” and get redirected back to Google Analytics for WordPress Configuration and get this message:

Unfortunately, an error occurred while connecting to Google, please try again:

Why is this plugin broken now?? Also I do not know how to manually add code very well so I prefer not to do that…as that is the reason I use this plugin the first place.

Please let me know what to do ASAP or I have to find an alternative…thank you.
