So it’s been a very hectic few days. * I’ll look into it this week. Sorry for not responding earlier. * Thread Starter [d8tabyte](https://wordpress.org/support/users/d8tabyte/) * (@d8tabyte) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-stopped-working-zero-active-users/#post-13116470) * Congrats and no worries my friend, enjoy the moment – as I said, I am not currently using this plugin. * Plugin Author [Daan van den Bergh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daanvandenbergh/) * (@daanvandenbergh) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-stopped-working-zero-active-users/#post-13224883) * Hi again, * I’m back 🙂 * Are the long URLs really the issue? Or was it the double //’s in the URL? Because that issue has been fixed. * Why would you not be allowed to use long URLs? That’s entirely how Google Analytics works. 🙂 So, that’s a bit strange to me. * Plugin Author [Daan van den Bergh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daanvandenbergh/) * (@daanvandenbergh) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-stopped-working-zero-active-users/#post-13267536) * Hi again, * Just so you know: to get around the long URLs you could use the Minimal Analytics snippet type. This creates a POST call, i.e. not adding all the parameters to the URL. * It doesn’t support all Google Analytics features, though. So, which features of Analytics are you using? If it’s just pageviews, locations and events, then you’re good.
