A great summary video of the settings in GTM4WP and how they effect tracking. I have been using this plugin for 6+ months. Amazing to learn even more ways to leverage this plugin with Tag Manager. Thanks!!

the advance datalayer variable feature is what I wanted to learn about and it's the one topic not covered. Can't seem to find a guide on this anywhere online.

[MarieBestard]

Thanks for the tutorial ! Which GTM plugin could be used with Odoo in order to create the datalayer for ecommerce tracking ?

[musaformazione]

Hi! One question. Why did you select "footer of the page....(not recommended by Google...)" instead of "custom...."? I'm talking about the general setup, at the Container Code Placement.
Thanks in advance

very good tutorial, but would have been nice to have an example of usage of woocommerce data for GTM for ex..

[amitbar-barushka]

Hi, Thank you for the tutorial. For ecommerce the plugin doesn't send add to cart event - do you maybe have a solution for that problem? Thanks!

Hi, so far so good but why exactly wouldn't you use a standard GA variable at 3:13?

[DownBYOB]

Hello. Sweet information and beautiful shop at 1:39 too! Does anyone know which theme it is?

[maxx.mazzeo]

Amazing tutorial. I have a little problem, i follow every step but my tag keeps firing altough i'm the administrator. This is specifically the 17:07 part of the video. I don't know why it doesn't seem to work well.

[GRANITE-EDUCATION]

Thank you for the very helpful video! When I go into "debug mode" (featured at 8:47), I am not able to get the "split-screen" debug mode that Ahmad has. I am able to use the page and get my debug data in another tab. How did Ahmad get this split-screen (top and bottom) so he could see his debugging information in the same window as the demo site he was browsing?

If i have already installed the GTM tracking code manually and i only want to use the GTM for Wordpress plugin for the data layer, is that possible ?
