add_filter( 'wgdr_third_party_cookie_prevention', '__return_true' );

1. 

   Simple configuration

2. 

   Validate the configuration of the plugin with the Google Tag Assistant

Why does Google Ads report an error?

Give Google Ads time to pick up the code. It can take up to 48 hours.

How do I check if the plugin is working properly?

Download the Google Tag Assistant browser plugin. It is a powerful tool to validate all Google tags on your pages. Bear in mind that validating the Merchant Center Feed only works on product pages.

The plugin messes up my theme. What is happening?

It has been reported in several occasions that minifaction plugins mess up the Javascript code which lead to errors in the theme. The Javascript code for the tracking needs to be placed exactly as Google requires it. To solve this issue turn off the minification plugin.

Does the plugin support variations?

Yes.

The tracking pixel matches regular feeds and also feeds with variations, as long as the variations are uploaded with the correct item_group_id (which is basically the id of the parent product): Dynamic Remarketing with Group ID

And will the dynamic ad show exactly the variations the visitor has visited? And the answer to that is not necessarily. But, don’t worry about specific variations too much. Even if the visitor is only being served the parent product he has visited (not the variation), the dynamic banner will lead to a much higher click-through-rate already.

Also look at this answer in the Google Ads Community (coming from a Google developer): Dynamic Remarketing Tag and Variations

I am getting following error: “We haven’t detected the Google Analytics remarketing functionality on your website.” What can I do?

This plugin doesn’t support Google Analytics Remarketing, only Google Google Ads Remarketing (as the plugin name says).

I am getting following error: “There are problems with some of your custom parameters for Retail.” What can I do?

Give Google Ads time to pick up the code. It can take up to 48 hours.

I am getting following error: “Only 20 of 50 page visits that have passed an ID (or 40%) match IDs in your Merchant Center feed.” What can I do?

It indicates that not all products have been uploaded to the Google Merchant Center. As long as you don’t upload all of them you will see this error.

Also it could be that you haven’t waited the 48 hours time period until Google Ads has processed everything properly.

Where can I report a bug or suggest improvements?

Please report your bugs and support requests in the support forum for this plugin: Plugin Support Forum

We will need some data to be able to help you.

• Website address
• WordPress version
• WooCommerce version
• WooCommerce theme and version of the theme
• The Google Ads remarketing tags conversion ID and conversion label

(Most of this information is publicly viewable on your webpage. If you still want to keep it private don’t hesitate to send us a support request to support@support.com)

Why does Google Ads report that the ecomm_prodid are not found?

• After installation wait a few days. It can take that long until all is processed correctly.
• You need the prefix only if you use the WooThemes Google Product Feed plugin.
• Check if you really have loaded all products into the feed and into the Google Merchant Center.
