 * It looks like in version 8.21.0 when you made the change “Exclude query parameters
   from GA4 data stream.” this now strips utm links from showing up in GA4 as there
   is now this line in your code…
   `var MonsterInsightsDefaultLocations = {"page_location":"
   https://example.com/"};`which sends this to GA4`__gtagTracker('set', MonsterInsightsLocations);
   __gtagTracker('config', 'G-XXXXXXXXXX', {"forceSSL":"true","link_attribution":"
   true"});Is there a way round this so I can still see utm links in my GA4 property?

 * Hi [@nicknack](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nicknack/),
 * Thanks for reaching out. I’m sorry for the trouble here.
 * Out of curiosity, could you share who your web host provider is? This detail 
   will be helpful when forwarding to our developers.
 * Thank you!

 * Host is WP Engine. Although I’ve tested on a different hosting set up and get
   the same issue. Why is that relevant?

 * Hi [@nicknack](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nicknack/),
 * Thanks for the details.
 * Our developers have been investigating an issue between UTM tracking and WP Engine.
   They’ve confirmed with me just now that we’re planning to ship a fix for this
   in our next release. I’m not able to say exactly when this next release is, but
   once it’s out, please update MonsterInsights to the latest version.
 * I hope this helps, but let me know if you have further questions.
 * Thank you!

 * Thanks for the update. This is not solely an issue with WP Engine by the way.
   This line `Exclude query parameters from GA4 data stream.` would affect any site
   on any platform. This is a tracking configuration issue within the plugin, not
   a hosting-level issue.
