I installed Google Analytics 4 and Google Universal Analytics and did like it says on the instructions
So I've disabled and tried to enable it again, but each time I try to activate
This page isn't working at the moment
yourdomain.com can't currently handle this request.
HTTP ERROR 500
When I reload the page it didn't activate!
Tried this 2/3 times and it doesn't work
Any suggestions or workarounds?
Thank you
Check your server logs to see what's causing the 500 error. If you're on shared hosting and don't have access to them, ask your hosting provider to check for you.

Hi Laird,
after a reading quite a few tutorials on both my control panel and also on the 500 error I tried to solve it but had no real luck. However I could get the error.log registering what is going on and this is what it came out.
Can you see where the error is, because I can't (other that line 73 that sounds suspicious)
I have a small VPS that is running:
Ubuntu 18.04
NGINX with FPM/FastCGI
This is the error it shows now

If you can help or guide me into a solution I would be very grateful
It is really bad not to have GA4 working at the moment
According to the support of my server ACP this error is a plugin error?!
The error on line 73 is because
$cache hasn't been declared as a global variable in the
googleanalytics_activate() function.
To fix this, add it to the global declarations on line 70, which becomes:
global $db, $lang, $cache;
Note: I haven't tested this plugin nor investigated any other possible errors, so this might not get it fully working.

I tried that, and at first it gave a MyBB error
Then I deactivated and activated again and it worked perfectly! Thanks for that.
What is the issue the Plugin Dev says you can configure in ACP but it doesn't show anywhere... and that is very weird
Is it because I had it mannually configured for UA? I really don't understand where should I put the GA-******* code

Sorry, I can't help you with that as I don't use this plugin and don't even use Google Analytics anymore.
Thank you Laird you were great on activating the plugin 
I have read the
plugin instructions and one
says it will have a configuration mode on ACP, I searched everything and found no such thing.
Is that also a bug on the
googleanalytics.lang.php?
Or maybe the fact that I configured it too late and still have the Google Universal analytics code on my footer is creating this error?
Thanks to anyone who can check this out for me my Php knowledge isn't my forte
Hi there,
i pushed the version 2.4 now. The bugs while activation will fixed there. Also i removed the old Google Analytics Universal settings. If you doesn't see all configuration fields on ACP bis uninstall and install the plugin again. In version 2.3 was a bug while updating the database so new fields doesn't setup.
Kind regards
