58 == Frequently Asked Questions ==
59 = Is this plugin compatible with WPML? =
60 Yes! We've made adjustments to allow for WPML pages to be tracked properly.
61
62 = Why do I need an SSL certificate to use this plugin? =
63 Since the plugin accesses your Google Analytics account your login information is transerfered from our plugin to google. This needs to be secure so SSL is required to keep your information safe.
64
65 = Do I need to touch any code to add Google Analytics? =
66 Nope, just sign in with google, choose your website, and our plugin will automatically add Google analytics code to all pages.
67
68 = How do I make sure Google Analytics is properly installed on all pages? =
69 If you signed it with google and selected your website (or manually added the property ID) the Google Analytics javascript will be added to all pages. To check what UA code it is adding, just open any page of your website in Chrome, right click to select Inspect, navigate to Network tab, reload the page and search for googleanalytics, you will see the google code with your UA ID. <a href=”https://cl.ly/1q3o2q26261V/[e5b08a5ae1c09684a56ba14c36e6fa5c]_Screen%2520Shot%25202017-02-06%2520at%25201.57.34%2520PM.png” title=”Google Analytics code on the page example”>See example here.</a>
70
71 = I see broken formatting inside the plugin, for example some buttons are not aligned? =
72 This is likely caused by AdBlocker that is blocking anything related to "google analytics". Please disable AdBlocker for your own website or add it to exceptions if you are using Opera.
73
74 = How does that cool "Trending Content" feature work? =
75 It learns about your traffic patterns to spot "spikes" of visitors and then sends an alert. If your website doesn't have good amount of visitors you might not see any Trending Content Alerts because the algorithm needs more data to see "trends".
76
77 = I have other questions, where I can get support or provide feedback? =
78 If you have any questions please let us know directly at support@sharethis.com or create a new ticket within our WP support portal.
79 We are always happy to help.
