Hi again Bogdan B!!

I’m sorry – you are absolutely correct: the issue was on my end.

The Safari AdBlocker Extension (by Eyeo) was causing the issue, even though it had been disabled! I emptied history, caches, etc via the ‘Develop’ menu but nothing worked.

– I remembered that months ago I installed the AdBlock Safari Extension (by Eyeo) for a short time to test it against a WordPress installation
– I uninstalled it after only a few minutes of usage
– But the uninstall didn’t work or complete properly
– only after reinstalling it and then uninstalling it did the Social Connector show up in Safari!

I use Google Chrome mostly and, oddly, the Chrome AdBlock extension doesn’t cause an issue with the Social Connector!!!!

I’m sorry I wasted your time. But I really REALLY appreciate that you stuck with me and pushed me to dig deeper.

Thanks again! You rock the most!
Peter

Hello Bogdan B!

Thank-you for your quick reply!

I visited the demo link (http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/) you provided on:
– Safari on Mac: Social Connector does NOT appear at all
– Firefox on Mac: Social Counter DOES appear (at the top of the page)
– Chrome on Mac: Social Counter DOES appear (at the top of the page)

As I said in my original post, I haven’t experienced ANY issues getting the Social counter to work with Safari Mobile on iOS. The problem has only been with Safari on Mac OS X.

In Safari on Mac, both the demo link you provided and my clients site (karlwells.com);
– the Social Connector simply doesn’t appear; its as though the plugin is not even installed
– the Social Connector’s absence isn’t indicated by a blank white space where the plugin SHOULD display, but rather the other plugins fill all the available space – the Social Connector simply doesn’t appear at all

Its clearly an issue with Safari for Mac. Do you have any suggestions?

Thank-you for your patience and time!
Peter

Ha ha! Awwww, thanks Diorama! I’m blushing!

I just logged into my Google Analytics and am finally seeing traffic reports since I copy/pasted the entire code snippet into Newspaper’s ‘Analytics’ section. You should see results soon!

Hi everyone!

Just to be clear: The script that should be pasted into the Newspaper theme’s ‘Analytics’ section is the entire tracking code snippet provided by your Google Analytics profile, not simply the Tracking Code.

Example below, copied from my Google Analytics Profile’s ‘Tracking Info/Tracking Code’ menu:

<script>
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i[‘GoogleAnalyticsObject’]=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
})(window,document,’script’,’https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js&#8217;,’ga’);

ga(‘create’, ‘UA-111111-1’, ‘auto’);
ga(‘send’, ‘pageview’);

</script>

I read in an earlier post (#111924) that it is necessary to include a script code when entering the Google Analytics ID in the Newspaper Theme Panel.

So, rather than simply pasting the Google Analytics code, as directed, into the space provided, you MUST include the code as demonstrated below:

<script>XXXXXXXXXX</script>

Once I added the script tags, the Analytics ID stopped appearing on my website.

The fact that the Newspaper template does not:
– append these code tags automatically, for users who follow the template’s OWN instructions and simply paste their Google Analytics code into the field provided
– or warn users to add these REQUIRED code tags, for users who aren’t psychic

is baffling.

I hope this helps! I have to wait for some data to accumulate before I know whether or not this actually works.

I am experiencing the same issue: Google Analytics code appears at the top of every page of my wordpress site.

I just upgraded to Newspaper 7.1 a few moments ago and it is still happening.

I configured it under /Newspaper/Theme Panel/Analytics/ but its clearly not working correctly.
