Good deal. :) I'll be happy to try it out for you and let you know how it works.

Thanks for the lightning quick reply!

Thanks, Sandman. I believe the updated version will work fine for your settings. Check the install.txt and look for the line you'll need to add at Google. I believe you can just import the product on top of the current one. Let me know if you have any trouble with it.

OK, I've updated the plugin and made the changes to my Google Analytic goal tracker. I'll let you know how it works when my stats update.

Small error in the installation text wording - the COPPA instructions have 5 or 6 steps, not 4 or 5. ;)

Another question -

Are you sure that the last step we enter in the "Define Funnel" section should be the same as our goal entered in the step above that? The goal URL is already listed at the bottom of the funnel in the Define Funnel section. :ermm:

Ah-ha! So that would explain why this never worked for me! :)

Thanks. I'll fix that after I hear back from you. I hope the update went well.

Sandman, Yes, it is needed in both places for full info.
The goal URL and the funnel are actually two different things. The goal URL is used for your goal conversion stats and is required. The funnel is optional and lets you see how many come into the funnel, where they leave from the funnel, and where they go to when they leave. If you do not have the goal URL in your funnel, you will not see how many made it to the end in your report.

Actually, you should still see results with this regardless of your COPPA setting. The main difference being you miss an entry page in your funnel. The rest should still show up.
I am afraid that it is VB SEO. I did some checking at their forum to see if I could tell what might be happening. VB SEO is actually rewriting the URLs, so that could easily be causing the problem. Google is also looking for a URL rewrite, and either it is getting confused between the two, or perhaps the .htaccess changes for VB SEO is preventing Google's script from running.
I also saw that VB SEO has an option to turn on the basic google script for each page. That could conflict if you followed step #2 of the instructions, which is basically doing the same thing.
That's what I've found so far. Check your VB SEO settings and see if you turned on Google Analytics code. If you did, then remove the entry from #2 of my instructions and see if that makes a difference.

The upgrade went fine. :)

Thanks for the clarification regarding the final step in the funnel being the same as the goal.

One problem though - it keeps showing that the number of members who get to the second to last step, the member added step (Awaiting Email Activation) is equal to the number who make it to the final step (and goal) - activation. This is not the case.

I just reread your question and see what you are talking about, the goal URL below the 10 steps. I put it in there based on Google's instructions, which are a little vague. It may work without the goal URL in the steps. If you try it, let me know how it works for you.

Here's the pertinent step from Google:
Continue entering goal steps until your funnel has been completely defined. You may enter up to 10 steps, or as few as a single step

It depends on what they mean by 'completely defined'

LOL - I've tried both ways several times and it appears that you should not add the goal URL to the funnel definition - just let GA add it automatically.

I think that you might have put in one too many steps - I think the Register Form step might be redundant and cause the rest of the funnel to be off. I'm testing that now - unfortunately I have to wait for the stats to update and I'm not particularly patient...

Final Account Activation and Registration are the same on mine, but not Awaiting Email Activation. It looks like you are correct about not needing the last step. I will test on mine and update as soon as I have results.

Thanks for spotting it!
