Provide support for different domains per language (when using WPML)

[jamesozzie]

Feature Description

As requested in the WordPress support forums consider allowing users to view statistics based on differing domains with a WPML multi domain setup. this would be useful for users to view statistics across a users site, and not just based on one domain.

At present when switching domains within the admin panel the user is encountering a "is no record to analyze" notice.

• WordPress support topic
• WPML supporting documentation on multiple domain setups

Awaiting additional information. Support to create a similar setup environment for further insights.

Hi James This is Özgür from KentAjans.

This is the function I have defined in functions.php file for analytics per language:

/**

• Add Google Analytics per language */

add_action( 'wp_head', 'my_own_analytics', 20 );
function my_own_analytics() { 

    if(ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE=='en') { ?>

<!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-XXXXXXXXX-2"></script>
<script>
  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
  gtag('js', new Date());

  gtag('config', 'UA-XXXXXXXXX-2');
</script>

<?php
    }
    if(ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE=='tr') { ?>

<!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-XXXXXXXXX-1"></script>
<script>
  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
  gtag('js', new Date());

  gtag('config', 'UA-XXXXXXXXX-1');
</script>

<?php
    }
}

Hope these are helpful.

Good luck.

@oratoran Many thanks for the additional insights. I'll check this with the team and report back to you here.

[jamesozzie]

@oratoran Just to let you know I've spoken with the team on this and it may be possible with the use of a canonical filter.

@adamsilverstein Escalated to L2 for you to review as per previous support sync.

[mxbclang]

@adamsilverstein Just following up here; let us know if need anything from us.

[adamsilverstein]

@bethanylang Apologies I haven't had a chance to look at this one again yet, on my list!

[mxbclang]

Moving this out of L1 and into Triage as it's not really an issue that requires engineering troubleshooting; instead, it requires discussion regarding adding this as a future feature. @oratoran We'll update here as we have more info or questions. Thank you for your patience!

I'd love to see Sitekit support different domains and GA profiles per language. Maybe one day! For now, I have to manually insert my Analytics tags via WP conditionals.

Hi guys, is there an update on this? There are many WP multilingual sites in the wild. Would be good if Site Kit were able to store and serve a different tag/tracking code per site language.

Maybe Site Kit could detect the presence of popular multilingual plugins, create one parent account then create a child property per site language, show stats in the WP admin area relevant to the property for the language? This would seem like the quick solution.

@VR51 Thanks for dropping a comment on here. This feature is not actively being considered at this time, but we regularly reevaluate priorities and update GitHub accordingly. You can continue to follow along here for any updates.

[VR51]

Thanks @adamdunnage. That doesn't sound promising but I will keep watching the change logs and will do a lot of hoping that the feature request gets consideration in the near future.

[bryanjordin]

Sure would be nice to be able to add multiple streams. Having to hack around this.

Following this. Over one million sites use WPML.

Try the following: ` add_action( 'init', function() { global $wpdb; $analytify_custiom_option_names = [ 'pa_google_token', 'wpa_allow_tracking', 'show_tracking_pointer_1', 'access_role_dashboard', 'dashboard_panels', 'wpa_current_version', 'profiles_list_summary', 'post_analytics_token', 'profiles_list_summary_backup', 'profiles_list_summary', 'ga4_update_number', 'ua_update_number', 'measurement_protocol_secret' ]; $analytify_option_names = $wpdb->get_col( "SELECT option_name FROM $wpdb->options WHERE option_name LIKE '%analytify%' AND optionname NOT LIKE '%_lang_\'" ); $analytify_option_names = array_merge($analytify_option_names, $analytify_custiom_option_names);

foreach ( $analytify_option_names as $analytify_option_name ) {

    add_filter( "pre_update_option_{$analytify_option_name}", function($value, $old_value, $option){
        $lang = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', NULL );
        $default_lang = apply_filters('wpml_default_language', NULL );
        if (!empty($lang)) {
            $lang = str_replace('-', '_', $lang);
            update_option( $option . '_lang_' . $lang, $value );
        }
        if ($lang == $default_lang) {
            return $old_value;
        }
        return $value;
    }, 10, 3);

    add_filter( "option_{$analytify_option_name}", function($settings, $option){
        $lang = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', NULL );
        if (!empty($lang)) {
            $lang = str_replace('-', '_', $lang);
            $settings_lang = get_option( $option . '_lang_' . $lang, 'not-exists' );
            if ( 'not-exists' !== $settings_lang ) {
                return $settings_lang;
            }
        }
        return $settings;
    }, 10, 2);

}
