    (Repost from FB DNN Connect Group) I have 2 portals on one 9.3.2 instance. Google analytics works in one (Portal 0) and not in the other (Portal 1). Confirmed the settings are identical in both portals (different tracking#), send test data from Analytics properly 'finds' the site (Portal 1). Any thoughts or recommendations would be much appreciated! Thanks!
    Additional Info:
    * Analytics Code on both sites is correct, and confirmed to match the Google Script. Tracking numbers are the only difference.
    * Both are SSL secured, site maps are correct.
    * DIFFERENCE- Important? -- One thing I just discovered that is different between the two - not sure of the significance (old sites) -- the working site has this code snippet in the Head section, starting at line 6. It is absent from the non-working site (UA id replaced with X's)

    <!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->

    <script async src=&quot;<a href="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-XXXXXXXX&amp;fbclid=IwAR3qe3ldNLES4DpbDfAr5OyxuXu1wRI-wBR_CMlJ9hbLd1DZ99lLFbhfEIg" rel="nofollow" role="link" tabindex="0" target="_blank">https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-XXXXXXXX</a>&quot;></script></p>

      FWIW, this is my SiteAnalyticsConfig file:


         
             
                  DotNetNuke.Services.Analytics.GoogleAnalyticsEngine, DotNetNuke
                  Head
                  False
                  <ScriptTemplate> <br />                 <![CDATA[      <br /> <br />                 <script type="text/javascript"> <br /> <br />                       (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){ <br />                       (i[r].q=i[r].q||).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o), <br />                       m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m) <br />                       })(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga'); <br /> <br />                       ga('create', '[TRACKING_ID]'); <br />                       ga('send', 'pageview'); <br /> <br />                 </script> <br />            ]]> <br />             </ScriptTemplate> <br />         </AnalyticsEngine> <br />     </Engines></AnalyticsEngineConfig>

        Do you see JS errors in the browser console? (F12)

          Yes, one.
          11 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ')'

          However, this same error also appears on the working site, albeit on a different line (21), and both are in the Google code.

          <script type="text/javascript"> <br /> <br /> (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){ <br /> This line:-----> (i[r].q=i[r].q||).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o), <br /> m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m) <br /> })(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga'); <br /> <br /> ga('create', 'UA-XXXXXXXX'); <br /> ga('send', 'pageview'); <br /> <br /> </script> <br /> Thank you! <br />

            I figured it out. The google analytics connector was correctly configured in both sites, however....as I mentioned they are old sites, and previously had embedded the 'original' Google supplied code into the Site Settings/Site Behavior Page Output Settings -- on the working site 0 only. The other site - site 1 - not working only had the analytics connector, not the 'original' code from google. So, apparently the combo of DNN/Google somehow disallowed the connection with just the analytics connector on site 1. Once I pasted the 'original' google code into the page output settings, it began working immediately. To confirm, I stripped out the 'original' code from both sites, just leaving the Analytics Connecter, and the connection to google stopped. Once I pasted the 'original' code into the Page Output Settings on BOTH sites, it started working again. So, in short, it seems like there may be a bug with multi-portal sites with the Google Analytics connector. Other single site properties with just the Analytics Connector work great.

            Thank you to everyone for your help!
