UTM tags

Hello I’m using utm tags to track traffic coming to my site from different sources. Using utm tags results in long url which brakes the theme. Take a look at the example below.

While regular link without utm works fine:

Any idea how to overcome this issue?

Unfortunately no. We have not tested any utm codes with our theme so I cannot provide any insight on this issue Sorry. You should search for a plugin that can handle this type of tracking system. Do they work on a wp default theme without breaking the layout?
Thanks.

Yes they work on other themes without any problems. There is no need to use any plugin to handle them. If I send a newsletter with the link to my site I simply add some additional info into the url like in example below

There is nothing needed on wordpress site to make it work. Newspaper should be loaded as usual but for some reason adding utm tags to the url breaks the theme.

Unfortunately we did not test these tags with our theme so I cannot say for sure exactly why this happens. You can try to change the permalink structure to see if the issue is only for a specific structure or overall. They can simply be incompatible with our theme code. I can;t say for sure since they are not tested. Sorry for the inconvenience. I will add this to our list for future updates and if this request grows in popularity we will investigate and make the proper adjustments.

Thank you!
