FAQ
Does WordPress need a custom plugin?
No. The universal script can work through the theme or an injection plugin while marketplace/plugin review is pending.
What causes most WordPress setup issues?
Caching, duplicate consent plugins, and analytics scripts firing before consent are the most common setup issues.
