 * After clicking grant access, it still shows me this message:
 * > Unfortunately, an error occurred while connecting to Google, please try again
 * Suggestions to solve this please. Thanks.

 * I am having this issue as well. I lost tracking on 2 of my blogs.

 * You can of course just enter the UA code manually, just check the box lower left
   of the authentication screen.

 * This plugin does not work for me at all. My Google account says that my blog 
   is not authorized to access my Google account. I say connect anyway. Your plugin
   says an error occurred while connecting to Google. You say I can enter the UA
   code manually. But, what is a UA code and where do I get one? My blog is [http://kakoluri.com](http://kakoluri.com)

 * Click on “Manually enter your UA code” (see [screenshot](http://uploads.yoast.com/manually-enter-ua-code-20100901-092643.png))
   and then enter your UA code. If you don’t know where to find your UA code, check
   [this video](http://vimeo.com/3835535).
 * Hope that helps!

 * Hi Joost, what is supposed to happen when you click the ‘Manually enter your 
   UA code’ checkbox? I click it and nothing happens. There is no box to enter the
   UA code. Your screenshot only shows the location of the checkbox, and nothing
   else.

 * I am trying to work through the same problems. When you enter the UA code manually…
   is anything else supposed to happen? OR do you just wait to see if it works? 
   Does the “authenticate” button only show up when you leave the box unchecked?
   After many installs/uninstalls when I go to install the plugin it automatically
   places my UA code in and not chance to authenticate. Not sure if this should 
   be like this? In any case Google Analytics still says it is not tracking. Do 
   not see the code in my view source either?
 * Has anyone received any feedback or answers that might help?
