Universal analytics vs Google analytics 4

[handrigg]

Hello,

I understand that universal analytics (UA-xxxxxxxx) is no longer tracking analytics and has been replaced by Google analytics 4 (GA4). Is GA4 supported by this theme? If so, how do you configure it?

Thanks.

Resolved my own issue, here. A rarity!

In case others are interested, it was relatively straightforward. I believe that Hugo includes a template for GA4 and it was as simple as updating the googleAnalytics in the yaml with the GA-xxxxxxx ID provided by google analytics. Also, I added the information contained in the 'insert manually' google tag (gtag.js) to just after the element in the head.html file located in /themes/educenter-hugo/layouts/partials folder. After, I re-built the site and uploaded it. Within 24 hours I had data flowing.
