Google Analytics Not Tracking
I setup google analytics for wordpress site and installed Google Analytics Dashboard for WP plugin.
Part of site is https and one page is http. It's a long story.....
Anyways, I put the setting in analytics to http figuring it would capture ALL activity. To test, I had people go to my site and click around a bit. The real time setting (which was setup yesterday) still show zero activity. I then went in and changed the setting on the Tracking Options to https: and I clicked around a bit. Still shows no real time activity.
I am using the Google Analytics Dashboard for WP plugin. It says there are no errors.
Not sure what is wrong....

I see this TWICE in the code. Not sure why it is there twice since I used the plugin to set it up. The "UA" number is different than the UA number on my google analytics account. Weird! I deleted some of the numbers on the UA code below for security.
<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','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');
ga('create', 'UA-67....', 'auto');
ga('send', 'pageview');
</script><script>

Well, that's not good.
If i uninstall the plugin, will that remove both instances cited above?
Don't know, I don't use that plugin because I don't care enough about the stats to waste bandwidth embedding them in the dashboard. For simple embedding of GA code via plugin, I use:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-analytics-for-wordpress/
If I need to play games, I manually insert the tracking the code via functions.php and hooks.
the nice thing about the plugin is that i can view stats directly in wordpress. I don't have to login to google analytics to view. this plugin was recommended by google on their analytics site so i figured it did have some value. i will remove it and then reinstall. hopefully that will take away all UA references and I can begin again. will let you know what happens.
Purge all caches, see if that removes the code. If not, you will need to start going through theme files to see what is setting it.
Several themes and frameworks have a place to enter javascript for inclusion on all objects, so check the settings page. You can also go through the wp-options table and search for any GA code there. If you find it in the table, null out the entry.
Part of site is https and one page is http. It's a long story.....In your GA account:
Admin > Property Settings > Default URL
The "UA" number is different than the UA number on my google analytics account.Maybe the theme developer accidentally left their GA code hard-coded in the template?
Within the theme's folder do a search for files containing the text "UA-67...."
