Ah! That will help - let me check that!

I just checked and the filters are there for dimensions and metrics, for Reporting API v4 and GA Spreadsheet addon. I also recorded a quick demo here: https://www.useloom.com/share/cb8100a272a0480788d4ace47f079e01

While doing my test, I noticed the condition for metrics was there but with the wrong condition - for example, it had METRIC_GREATER_THAN instead of just GREATER_THAN. I just fixed that and it will be ok in the next release.

If you still have issues, please check if there are any errors in your browser JavaScript console, or more info about the query you are trying to build (which report, which segments, filters, etc.) and I will see if I can reproduce it.

I just checked again - worked fine for me. I also did a little Loom screen recording to show how it works/what happens: https://www.useloom.com/share/2781aa4b0a254c76a55ceeaa125598db

  • make sure you are NOT in Incognito mode - to respect user's privacy, Da Vinci doesn't work when the browser is in Incognito
  • does the Da Vinci Tools icon in the browser toolbar show a little red X?
  • if you can share your website, I can try to see if for some odd reason the GA call isn't being detected (you can email me@StephaneHamel.net to share the details)
  • if you open the browser JavaScript console, are there any errors?
  • if you enter chrome:extensions in your browser URL bar, it will show all your extensions and you can click on the background page for Da Vinci Tools - you will see messages like this:
Analytics.HideMe: Set to /id=(UA-570276-22)/
Analytics.HideMe: Blocked POST request matching /id=(UA-570276-22)/
Analytics.HideMe: Blocked GET request matching /id=(UA-570276-22)/
Analytics.HideMe: Set to /id=(^$)/

The filters are supposed to be there - if not, I will check and fix! :)

The effect should be immediate the next time you load a page on your website. It was indeed broken but I diid a bunch of tests and I thought it was ok - let me double check that again. So your scenario is you have GA open in one tab and you enable the "Hide Me" feature and you look at your real-time, and you have your website or WP admin open in another tab. It *should* work... but I will check again.

If you right-click on the Da Vinci icon in the browser toolbar, pick Options, and you will see the version number. Based on the screenshots, you have the latest.

Could you take a screenshot of your debug console (from browser top menu, View/Developer/JavaScript Console).


The other thing you can try too is to use the debug mode, click on the link to see it in the HitBuilder tool, and from there you can do "validate" and send the hit.

Since you've got the confirmation dialog, the hit was sent to GA for sure.

You need to give some time for Google to process it. Also, you can look under your Events if you see any Da Vinci Tools events.

Hmm... I thought I had fixed it and I have done extensive tests. Can you share a screenshot of the debug console or the steps & error you are seeing.
