[StreamTube] Sitekit By Google (Page Views, Reports, Analytics ...)

StreamTube comes equipped with the Site Kit by Google plugin, which is an official plugin from Google. This section does not cover the installation of Site Kit and its modules from the WordPress backend. For further assistance, please refer to the Site Kit documentation https://sitekit.withgoogle.com

After configuring the plugin correctly, it may take 24-48 hours to process data from your website. Ensure that your site has enough traffic to display page views and generate reports

In order to display Sitekit reports on the member dashboard, you will need to activate the following services:

  • Search Console
  • Analytics
  • Tag Manager

After enabling services, you can enable or disable the report sections from Appearance > Theme Options > Google Sitekit panel
