How to set up Google Analytics Code to prevent administrators' or authors' access to Wordpress administrative areas from being counted?

wordpress google-analytics

  • how did you install the code? Using a plugin? Pasting the script into the pages?

  • I use a plugin

  • Your plugin should have an admin page where you select whether or not to track the admin pages/actions. No more details is all I can tell you.

  • But my intention is to do this in javascript code. Because then, I am not in the plugin dependency.

If you want to do it in hand, here it goes:

  1. Install the plugin https://br.wordpress.org/plugins/header-footer/

  2. Enter in the Footer tab:

    <? if (!is_user_logged_in()) { ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
...GOOGLE ANALYTICS CODE...
<? } ?>

  • Leonel, to understand: the command <? (!is_user_logged_in()) { ? > is a php that denies reading Google-Analytics if the "user" is logged in to the admin panel. That’s it?

  • Exact @Edmarrobertoprandini!

  • Just so you know, your suggestion didn’t work.

  • You still need a hand with that? Try to validate whether or not you are calling with the Chrome extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-analytics-debugger/jnkmfdileelhofjcijamephohjechhna

  • Actually, I partially solved it by creating a filter for /wp-admin/ in the GA administration. But, pages visited by administrators outside of wp-admin will be logged, which I intended would not be calculated.

  • You can add the Google tag by your footer.php: <? php if ( !is_user_logged_in()) { ? > <script type="text/javascript"> GA code </script> <?php } ? > Reference: https://www.doitwithwp.com/exclude-admins-from-google-analytics-on-wordpress/

Most likely the plugin you use already has this option. I use Yoast SEO, considered one of the best on the market, and it already has this option to prevent count of administrators.

  • Where? How to configure?

  • Which plugin do you use? I just wanted to make a correction that Yoast Analytics became Monster Insights Analytics. To edit you access the menu in the left sidebar in this sequence. Insights > Settings > Tracking > Ignore These user roles from tracking: Here you can add positions you don’t want to be counted. Using Monster Insights Analytics, old Yoast Analytics.
