What a ShitShow by google!! Can't thank you enough for showing me how this is done (I never would have figured it out on my own). The entire saga is unnecessarily convoluted and over the top. It's like google looked at Siebel Systems and though, now there's a horrific system.. how can we bring this to our customers!! Again thanks mate, I'd shout you some beers for this effort.

Great - nice and clear unlike Google's pages.

07:46 My developer must remove the jtag code once he install the GTM code, right? Or isn't it necessary?

[stiescreativeagency]

As always great info. Timecodes for each method would be super helpful. GTag method is 9:29.

07:20 --> If I already have containers I don't create new one, right?

8:10 Hi! In this minute you say I will find the ID in my GA4 Account, but I am still in my old UA Account. How can I find it?

[susan-dk]

Hello, GA4 open funnels currently show 0 and I see similar people from the community have this problem. Please do you have any idea what could be responsible?

[sayed]

Thank you for step by step explanation

[TomBerry-Hopkins]

For the GA4 config trigger is it best to use 'All Pages' or 'Initialisation All Pages'?

I don't really understand what's going on but I got an email from Google saying I need to migrate my site(s) by July. I can't understand their "documentation" and I don't know what I'm supposed to do, so I'm trying to find a video to explain what it is (and how to do it, step by step) for non-engineers. Can someone recommend a good tutorial for non-programmers that won't take hours? I don't think I have anything customized in my UA analytics. Mostly I just hook up Google Analytics to my WordPress sites with an API. Also, what are the consequences if I just give up and do nothing? Thanks.

7:50 How about the body code ? Is it not necessary to copy ?

[MaxWeir]

I tried Tag Assistant for two sites and it failed to connect, I followed instructions using Tag Manager method but both don't connect, just says "Could not connect to [website]" - is there something wrong my end?

We have multiple verticals on the same website; how do we monitor their performance? In UA, we had the option to set up multiple views, and we were able to monitor their performance, but not in GA4. Would you kindly help with this?

[AndreaCinnamondCreative]

Can you run both GA3 and GA4 via GTM? Do you need two GTM scripts, one for GA3 and one for GA4? Thank you!

[cesartse]
