Hi,

I think that this is the right place for this question...

Basically, I set up my site with Google Analytics - it uses a parallax theme.

The thing is, I cannot tell which parts of the theme are being accessed in the Analytics display. It seems to reference any link used as just the home page.

Is there any way to change this?

TIA

    I think most parallax pages use hashtag (#) jump links. I recently posted on this very subject, tracking hashtag links with Google Analytics.

      Hey - thanks so much for the info!

      I followed your suggestion and placed the code in this file:

      ./wp-content/plugins/google-analyticator/google-analyticator.php

      before:
      <?php endif; ?>
      _gaq.push(['_setAccount', '<?php echo ; ?>']);
      _gaq.push(['_addDevId', 'i9k95']); // Google Analyticator App ID with Google
      <?php
      after:

      <?php endif; ?>
      _gaq.push(['_setAccount', '<?php echo ; ?>']);
      _gaq.push(['_trackPageview', location.pathname + location.search + location.hash]);

      _gaq.push(['_addDevId', 'i9k95']); // Google Analyticator App ID with Google
      <?php
      This is OK - right? When will I start seeing the results? Again, thanks for the hints!

        I don't know about all that code (the first bit of code), that looks like custom parameters. All I did was edit the default GA code that goes in the <head> tag on my own site/page.

        Once the GA code is setup correctly you should see data within a few hours, it's not real time, at least the Content Drilldown section of GA isn't real time.

        Once the code is setup correctly, make up a test # URL with a keyword, so you can easily spot the link click in GA.

        Example of a test # URL/link:
        • domain.com#test-link-1

        The test link doesn't even have to be on your site/page, just paste the test URL in your browser & hit enter on your keyboard, GA will still show it as a page visit.
