Anyone know what this is Timeout("ga('send','event', '30_seconds', 'read');", 30000);

tommyhot said:

The js function should be setTimeout(); so the whole string should look like this:

Code:

setTimeout("ga('send','event', '30_seconds', 'read');", 30000);

It means the google's function ga() will be executed after 30 seconds from loading the script.

Is it a WP site?
Have you disabled all plugins?
Looks like somebody has tried to add it to the footer directly.
It looks like the code to help with bounce rate/GA timings

Yeah it's a WP site, and I did try to disable all of the plug ins.

Problem is the guy contacted me over the web, has had like 3 different developers prior to me who developed the site. The original developer, the one I need to get into contact with, that would know anything about the issue, has either passed away or is some where waiting to die from some terminal illness.

Upon accessing the FTP the public_html folder was completely empty. ????

Tried to access WHM with the login details owner provided, and no luck there. Client doesn't know where to access the actual ftp or how it was installed.


This is the weirdest site I have ever seen. I actually just left a message for the owner of the site apologizing and telling him we would not be able to fix the error, and that if he can't find someone to fix it we could design his site from scratch.

About the only option I've got at this point.

Thanks for the help

That code is showing on the page itself or just in the html?

If it's showing on the page, I would check the javascript code, must be a syntax error making the browser show it as text and not javascript.

Use firebug/inspect element where the misplaced code is showing on screen to find where it is being called from and then edit out the code.

Yeah its on the front page. And actually is showing up below the footer.



No, I assumed so myself. Usually the editor would be located under the appearance menu. Here :

No editor or anywhere else to access footer.php in the backend of WP. That's why I attempted to access the FTP and only found an empty public_html folder.

No luck in inspect element or firebug either. Tried that first.

We finally got in touch with the actual person who installed the GA code and are going to have them check it out. I'll let you guys know what the issue was when we discover it.

I think something was thrown out of wack when they updated a bunch of plugins.
