Since upgrading from Magento CE 1.7.0.2 to 1.9.1 its not showing any visitors. Google is activated and I use the Fooman extension.

Any ideas why its not tracking visitors?

Thanks.

Reset to default

In version 1.9.1, Magento added an admin configuration setting for setting different Google Analytics code types. You can see this setting by going to:

Admin > Configuration > Sales > Google API > Google Analytics > Type

There should be two options here "Universal Analytics" and "Google Analytics". Older versions of Magento did not have this setting and would always default to Universal Analytics code. After upgrading to 1.9.1, I believe Magento now automatically defaults to Google Analytics code instead. This caused issues for me with Uncaught ReferenceError: ga is not defined errors showing up in the console on pages.

I resolved it by switching the config setting, Type, back to Universal Analtyics and my errors went away and my tracking came back.

You can see the conditional for the two different GA code types and what the code looks like in:

app\design\frontend\base\default\template\googleanalytics\ga.phtml

Magento 1.9.1 uses universal analytics. You need to enable universal analytics on google if you haven't already.

Probably the fooman extension is outdated. Old version didnt support UA. Now it does. Update extension and make sure UA is enabled on google.
