I use the hugo-academic theme. As Google Analytics did not work I noticed that Google Analytics Templates were missing.
{{ template "_internal/google_analytics.html" . }}
{{ template "_internal/google_analytics_async.html" . }}
I added them to single.html
and list.html
. I got no error message, but Google still did not track.
Then I added the complete code Google provides and tracking worked fine!
<script>
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
})(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');
ga('create', 'UA-106XXXXXX-1', 'auto');
ga('send', 'pageview');
</script>
No idea what is wrong here. A problem with blogdown, Hugo or the academic-theme? Or just a confusion on my part?
It sounds like a TOML issue. I don't completely understand it (might be a bug of Hugo or a certain TOML parser, or it is just how TOML works). but you need to move your top-level options in config.toml to the beginning of the config file. For example, your current config.toml looks like this:
baseurl = "/" # End your URL with a `/` trailing slash.
....
[permalinks]
post = "/:year/:month/:day/:slug/"
# Enable comments by entering your Disqus shortname
disqusShortname = "petzi"
# Enable analytics by entering your Google Analytics tracking ID
GoogleAnalytics = "UA-106334854-2"
....
Change the order of options to:
baseurl = "/" # End your URL with a `/` trailing slash.
# Enable comments by entering your Disqus shortname
disqusShortname = "petzi"
# Enable analytics by entering your Google Analytics tracking ID
GoogleAnalytics = "UA-106334854-2"
....
[permalinks]
post = "/:year/:month/:day/:slug/"
....
