Google Analytics and Powerpress Conflict

[mrarlen]

I was having a couple problems:
-Player not appearing on iPhone 4
-Player only appearing on Archive pages and not in Posts (Changing to the "Yes, try to fix this" setting helped)

From reading other posts, I believe there's a javascript conflict with Google Analytics code. 

I moved the Google Analytics code to my footer and everything cleared up.  Hope this post can help someone.  Please reply if this helps or if problems remain.

The "Google Analytics code" is supposed to be added at the bottom of the HTML, as Google instructs. That would explain a lot.

I don't know if I ran into the same problem as mrarlen, exactly. I had the "track outbound clicks & downloads" option turned on in the Google Analytics for WordPress plugin. It was rewriting the embedded javascript for the (HTML5) audio player in such a way that the HTML was no longer syntactically correct. This caused the embedded player to not work. Turning off that option fixed my problem.

I think this is actually a bug in the Google Analytics for WordPress plugin, so I don't expect there's anything you can do about it, but maybe this note will alert other users to the problem.

There is already a bug posted on the Google Analytics forum at Wordpress.org for the problem that I encountered:

Thanks for the fix.  Can this code be updated in the PowerPress plugin permanently to cover this?  That Yoast plugin is widely used and I had opened a forum issue for it.  Previously it was blamed on Yoast's plugin but it seems the powerpress plugin can be properly altered to fix this.  Can we get a permanent update?

This cannot be fixed in PowerPress. You can fix it by going to the  "track outbound clicks & downloads" option and turn that off. I'm emailing Yoast now to see why the fix I added was removed.

I just came up with an idea how to get around this, but it's not a quick fix, I need to develop a solution. If you are interested in helping me, please email me at cio [at] rawvoice dot com. Thanks!
