In Google Analytics we're trying to add a property for each website of a WordPress multisite network. It works well for all of the sub-site but one. In the Default URL field we used the following:

mywebsite.no/ - works mywebsite.no/nurse - works, as does a few other sub-sites mywebsite.no/doctor - doesn't work


In the last case we get the following error:


Value is not a valid domain. (e.g. example.com, example.com)

We can't change the name of the sub-site but GA just won't accept the URL. Why is this and what can we do to solve this?

There is a workaround to this by disabling the validation in your browsers dev tools.

Ulrich Lamb has blogged about the workaround:-


Page 1
Page 2
Page 3


Page two contains the fix. Why a blog would split an article as short as this into three pages is beyond me but I included the links to each page as they aren't easy to spot on this blog.

This should allow you to add the /doctors property in Google Analytics now (as we all know with Google, it could take months to rectify this bug).
