Title: Universal Analytics Support Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Universal Analytics Support * [Christiaan Conover](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cconover/) * (@cconover) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/universal-analytics-support/) * Is adding support for [Universal Analytics](https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/upgrade/?hl=en_US) on the roadmap? Since apparently this will be a forced change by Google and appears to require new tracking code, it seems like something that will need to be addressed. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-analytics-for-wordpress/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-analytics-for-wordpress/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 43 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/universal-analytics-support/page/2/?output_format=md) [3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/universal-analytics-support/page/3/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/universal-analytics-support/page/2/?output_format=md) * [mtuergan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mtuergan/) * (@mtuergan) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/universal-analytics-support/#post-4644475) * Exactly, this is what we are looking for as well. * [jodzeee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jodzeee/) * (@jodzeee) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/universal-analytics-support/#post-4644476) * I’m curious too. Thanks! * [Tamas Ratkai](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pixeland/) * (@pixeland) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/universal-analytics-support/#post-4644522) * Also waiting for that function. Would be awesome. * [lwyndham](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lwyndham/) * (@lwyndham) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/universal-analytics-support/#post-4644564) * +1 Please * [keikoblue](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keikoblue/) * (@keikoblue) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/universal-analytics-support/#post-4644604) * I am looking for a solution to this as well. It surprises me that Yoast folks have not issued any mention of universal analytics, since their plugin is one of the most popular. I may be forced to switch to an alternative soon. A response from them would be greatly appreciated. * [anuruddha94](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anuruddha94/) * (@anuruddha94) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/universal-analytics-support/#post-4644607) * me too waiting for that update. Google universal analytic is essential now. pls update it soon * [spectrum247](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spectrum247/) * (@spectrum247) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/universal-analytics-support/#post-4644609) * I wonder if anyone else in considering uninstalling this plugin in favor of the plugin called “Google Universal Analytics plugin” I would prefer not to go through this process so I plan to wait another few weeks to see if the GA for WP plugin supports the change but would like to hear what others are saying * [tim_lb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tim_lb/) * (@tim_lb) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/universal-analytics-support/#post-4644618) * I’m hoping that the reason for the delay is because some major upgrade is being created, but I think it would be great to have some response from Yoast about that. Incorporating GTM might be exciting. * As things are at the moment, I am getting nervous that the GA tracking plugin is not going to be developed. * [lwyndham](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lwyndham/) * (@lwyndham) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/universal-analytics-support/#post-4644622) * I have not got this to work – please see the support topic called [Demographics and Interest Reports in Google Analytics](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/demographics-and-interest-reports-in-google-analytics) for fruther information. * [devoninternational](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devoninternational/) * (@devoninternational) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/universal-analytics-support/#post-4644640) * Does anyone know exactly when the switch to Universal will be? Would love to have an answer to if this plugin will by updated for it by the time of the Google Universal release, all my developer friends and contacts have the same question and are getting ready to switch plugins… * [wordscant](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wordscant/) * (@wordscant) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/universal-analytics-support/#post-4644647) * I am looking forward to that too, as this plugin is awesome! I guess it is not easy to develope it. * [mif](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mifundum/) * (@mifundum) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/universal-analytics-support/#post-4644650) * +1! * [quidprocrow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/quidprocrow/) * (@quidprocrow) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/universal-analytics-support/#post-4644653) * It’s clear that Yoast is working on a beta V5 of Google Analytics for WordPress. I just looked at his home page source. Of course, no word on when it debuts. * [tim_lb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tim_lb/) * (@tim_lb) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/universal-analytics-support/#post-4644655) * Thank you. That’s very encouraging news. I’m very impressed by Yoast’s products and attitude, so I’m not keen to switch in the long term. * [zeninho](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zeninho/) * (@zeninho) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/universal-analytics-support/#post-4644656) * I am also bit concerned about stability of this plugin regarding universal analytics and new event tracking code. Since code is changed, I assume that everyone with new universal tracking code can’t use this plugin? Can anyone explain how it works now?
