Question 2

Uninstalling Google Tag Manager from Wordpress

Accepted Answer

In order to install Bot Badger on your website, you must make sure that Google Tag Manager is not installed directly into your website.

Google Tag Manager can be integrated into a WordPress site in several ways.

First, we will go through each of the most common methods of installation and provide instructions on how to remove or uninstall Google Tag manager from each.

Then, we'll share how to verify that you have removed Google Tag Manager successfully.

Step 1: Removing Google Tag Manager

There are multiple ways Google Tag Manager can be installed on a Wordpress site. If you know how yours is installed, jump to that option. If not, start at the top and work your way down until you hit the installation type used on your site.

1. Via a Plugin

Plugins like "GTM4WP," “MonsterInsights,” "Google Site Kit," or “WP Google Tag Manager” are widely used for integrating Google Tag Manager with Wordpress.

If you Navigate to ‘Plugins’ on the left sidebar and scan the list and see one of these plugins (or any other plugin saying it loads Google Tag Manager), here's how to remove it:

Login to your WordPress dashboard.
Navigate to ‘Plugins’ on the left sidebar.
Find the Google Tag Manager plugin you are using.
Click ‘Deactivate.’
After the plugin is deactivated, you can click ‘Delete’ to remove it from your site completely.

2. Using a Theme’s Built-In Option

Some themes have a built-in field for Google Tag Manager code. This one's a little trickier t

Question 3

Uninstall Google Analytics from Wix

Accepted Answer

There are two methods you or someone on your team may have set up Google Analytics inside of Wix: using Marketing Integrations or using Custom Code.

You will need to check both to be certain that you have fully removed Google Analytics from your site.

Checking/Removing Marketing Integrations

Log in to your Wix account.
Go to the site editor
Under the "Settings" menu, select "Marketing Integrations"
Make sure Google analytics is not connected It should look like this: If, instead, it looks like this, click the view button…
Click the three dots, followed by "Delete" to remove the integration .

Checking/Removing Custom Code

Log in to your Wix account.
Go

Question 4

Adding a Domain to Bot Badger

Accepted Answer

The first time you log into Bot Badger, you will be prompted to add a domain. The process is the same, though, for each subsequent domain you might add.

Step 1: Click the [Add Domain] Button

Click the [Add Domain] button to begin the process.

Step 2: Add a Domain

In the "Name" field, give your domain a descriptive name, such as "WidgetCo Website" or "WidgetCo Store".

In the "URL" field, enter the URL of your home page.

Note: This must be a full URL, not just the domain name. We recommend opening up your website in a new tab and copying and pasting from the address bar to make sure there are not typos.

Click the [Add Domain] button to continue.

Step 3: Find your Google Tag Manager (GTM) Container ID

Because Bot Badger works by selectively loading Google Tag Manager, you'll need to link your Bot Badger domain with the Google Tag Manager container you'd like to load on that domain. In a new tab, open Google Tag Manager and locate your GTM container ID. You'll find it in a number of places, but most notably in the upper-right corner once you click into the container you'd like to use. Copy this value to your clipboard.

Question 5

How "Load Alternate" Mode Works

Accepted Answer

While "Hide GTM" mode is the simplest and easiest mode to implement, but it may not meet your needs if there are tags you need to fire for bots. If you only have a tag or two you need to fire for bots and the rest are reserved for humans, "Load Alternate" mode will be significantly faster and easier to set up than "Send Info" mode.

In "Load Alternate" mode, Bot Badger will detect if the current website visitor is human or a bot. If human, it will load your primary Google Tag Manager (GTM) container. If a bot, it will load an alternate GTM container. How "Load Alternate" mode works in Bot Badger

You may be forced into loading a tag for bots if you are installing a new service on your website and the service needs to "check" to see their code fire to function properly or allow you to finish the installation process. In that case, you can create a new, empty container in Google Tag Manager specifically for bots and install that tag in both.

"Load Alternate" mode can also be helpful if you want to create a separate Google Analytics account to see what the bot traffic looks like and watch out for false positives. In that case, you'd create a new Google Tag Manager container and then configure it to send data to a separate, new Google Analytics property used just for bot a
