Was no longer working

By hamburg86 on October 19, 2023

Was the best analytics plugin. Unfortunately not updated for 3 years. Accordingly, it is suddenly no longer usable for me that anything is no longer supported. You are supposed to create an account for this, but that is not possible. Have tested a few other plugins, but you can forget them all, that just does not show the real, real data. I hope and pray that the creators of the plugin fix or update this. I have over 300 pages on my website, so I can't manually use Analytics everywhere as a layman. Please make the plugin available again.

Stopped working due GA4

By radwoc on August 13, 2023

It was best GADWP replacement, but after years it is not supporting new GA4. Good bye.

unfortunately no longer up to date.

By sebastianwartenberg on May 22, 2023

It was the perfect plugin for years. Now no one cares anymore. Too bad, I have great difficulty finding something equivalent.

No longer maintained; no GA4 support

By Will Skora (skorasaurus) on January 26, 2023

I had been using since 2018ish and it worked great for years although the current developer is no longer maintaining it and hasn't been updated since 2020 as of this writing.

It still currently works (early 2023) but there is no support for GA4 so I'll be moving away from it very soon.

Good and simple plugin but seems abandoned

By Toine Rademacher (toineenzo) (toineenzo) on May 30, 2022

I really like this plugin as it provides a simple Analytics viewer on the dashboard. Unfortunately it hasn't been updated and I expect it to stop working when Google Analytics 3 gets deprecated.

Not supported anymore

By Morten Ellegaard Larsen (ellegaarddk) on December 29, 2021

Several errors with deprecated PHP, hasn't been any changes for too long. Not stable

GOOD PLUGIN FOR ANALYTICS

By tutadek on August 30, 2021

This is one of the best plugins out there for Google Analytics. I've searched for the one that fits my needs but to no avail. This one does what I want. Thanks, Tom.

Thank you! Great Plugin

By worleyrh on March 11, 2021

This plugin is a lifesaver. Best GADWP replacement plugin.

Just great

By barquerole on January 28, 2021

In exasperation, I was looking for someting to replace ExactMetrics with its constant alerts and prompting to upgrade. I came across GainWP, installed it on one of my sites and wow, it was like rolling back the years to a plugin that is functional, has many elements that are free that ExactMetrics want you to pay for, and is not intrusive. I took great delight in deleting ExactMetrics from all my sites and putting GainWP on. A great plugin and cannot recommend highly enough. Thanks guys.

Was great until broken for two months

By LevyImage on January 19, 2021

This plugin was fantastic until December, now it does not work at all and all my scripts and codes are ENTIRELY missing from my website. It has been two months. In that time I caught COVID-19, was in the hospital, and am recovering. I don't know what happened with the developers or if they met the same or worse fates but the plugin is no longer reliable. It used to be the replacement for the previous Google Analytics WordPress plugin that sold out and became commercial loaded with adware and a paywall. Now back to square one. My review rating based on the two months of it not working and not being updated to be fixed. Reviews and support requests at this time reflect the same. https://wordpress.org/plugins/ga-in/
