I recently installed Rank Math for my SEO plugin from SEOpress. As soon as I did, my google analytics account stopped working. It now shows 0 traffic a day. What do I need to do in order to get my google analytics account back up and working?

Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
Let’s try deleting old imported data and start the fresh data fetch. Please follow these steps.
1. Head over to WP Dashboard >> Rank Math >> Tools & Status and click the ‘Rebuild Index’ button https://i.rankmath.com/kecLYK
2. Head over to WP Dashboard >> Rank Math >> General Settings >> Analytics tab, and click the ‘Delete Data’ button and then click the ‘Update Data Manually’ https://i.rankmath.com/fvcsbF
3. It will start the new data fetch from Google. You can reload the page to see the notice related to the import process.
4. Once the process is complete. Please recheck the Analytics page.We really look forward to helping you.
Thank you.
Alright, I did all that. Should my traffic show back up within google analytics immediately or will it take a day? After doing all that and logging into my google analytics account, it still shows 0 traffic since I installed Rank Math.
Just to be clear, I am talking about my google analytics page within my gmail account. Not the analytics that Rank Math provides within the wordpress plugin.
Hello,
Thanks for getting back.
Can you please make sure that you have enabled the Install Analytics Code option in WP Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > Analytics? Please enable it and you should be able to see the data in your GA account.
You must be using SEOPress to install the code before and since you have uninstalled the plugin, the code must have been removed.
Hope this helps. Let us know if you need any further assistance.
After I go to WP Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > Analytics, where do go from there? The only options are Dashboard, Site Analytics, SEO Preformance Keywords and Rank Tracker but there isn’t anywhere to click in any of them to enable a google analytics code. I am on the free version of Rank Math
Ok I found it the “enable google analytics code” in the Rank Math > General Settings > Analytics. I have enabled the code and it is now connected to my google search console and my google analytics. Do I need to wait for a day to see if anything shows up on google analytics. I just checked again and it still says 0 visits since I installed Rank Math.
Hello,
Thank you for keeping in touch with us.
Yes, you may wait for the data to come to your Analytics dashboard. To be able to make sure, could you also share your website URL with us so I can check from my end if the tracking code is properly installed?
We are looking forward to helping you.
Google Analytics is back up and working. Thanks
