I have two projects in google analytics.
First project was created in September 2020. This one shows views per page url. Super useful.
Second project was created in December 2020. This one only shows views per page title. I have same page title on all pages hence this doesn't help.
Is there any setting that I missed or has google changed its analytics.
Thanks
When creating a new property, Google now creates a Google Analytics 4 property. This allows you to combine user data from mobile apps with data from your website. By creating a Universal Analytics property everything should be as how it was before.
Delete your current property.
Create a new property and click Show advanced options at step 1 (Property setup).
Enable create a Universal Analytics property.
Enter your website URL and click Create a Universal Analytics property only.
The Google Analytics environments should now match, thus showing views per page URL.

Is there a GA4 analog to Google Analytics the UA
"Behavior -> Site Content -> All Pages"
feature? Thank you.
A similar report in GA4 would be the Events report filtered to the page_view event. This can be accessed by navigating to Reports > Engagement > Events then clicking on the page_view event. The User Engagement summary card will display the page title, % of total page views and avg time metrics. The user interface for the built-in reports are setup as referred to as summary cards.
Alternatively, you can create an exploration report in the Explore tab that includes the following dimensions and metrics.
Dimensions
Page title
Page path
Page location
Metrics
Views
Users
Sessions
Fist off, you need to create a Data Stream in Google Analytics. you need the measurement Id of your created stream. plus, the gtag.js code which should be copied and pasted immediately after the tag in your website. you can follow this link for instructions.
In addition, create an Account and Container in GTM. Follow this link
Install Google Tag Manager to install GTM on your webpage.
Next, a GA4 configuration tag should be created which have to be triggered for all pages:
In Tag Manager Open “Tags” tab => “New” => click on “Tag Configuration” => select “Google Analytics: GA4 Configuration”.
Adding tag assistant plugin, you can test your changes usingpreview button on top right of your GTM container. If you are satisfied with the result submit and publish the changes.
I am using the official GA4 plugin for Bubble.io. However there is only one tracking code field per app, while an app might consist of multiple pages. From what I understood, tracking code is to be applied to every page of the application. How do I gather data from each of the pages then? Thanks!
If you want to add a tracker to every page, within your app, navigate to Settings -> SEO/metatags and scroll down to Script/metatags in Header or Script in body to add your tracking snippet.
I have added Google Tag Manager to our site, and using the data layer inserted several custom dimensions, including 'user_id'
Data Layer with user_id shown
The Google Analytics variable in Tag Manager is configured to pass these data layer variables into the coresponding dimensions:
Tag Manager Variable & Dimensions in Analytics
I know this is working as I am able to add this as a secondary dimension in Analytics when viewing reports:
Analytics with Dimension Shown
However, the user view that is created when I have set up the User-Id isnt showing anything:
Creating the User View
We installed Tag Manager using the recommended steps:
Installation of Tag Manager
Do we also need to add the 'Global Site Tag Tracking Code'?
How to Implement the User-ID in your tracking code
If not, what am I doing wrong?
You're actually REALLY close. You actually don't need to create the custom dimension.
The correct way is to set the userId field in your GA tag (I did it through a GA variable so it is applied everywhere).
Yes, that is exactly correct (what #XTOTHEL answered above), but for those who are reading this, I found these two blog posts helpful (esp if you are using GTM):

I am using google tag manager to fire tags for my website, I created custom javascript variable which returns count of my jstree selection (i.e how many users selected how many items) and i placed a trigger on this count, just wanna know if there is any way that i can see this count on my google analytics page so as to analyse how many users are selecting how many items?
Found answer myself, Hope it will help others too.
To show count of any custom variable that you created on your google tag manager on your Google Analytics page is possible by creating custom dimensions on Google Analytics. Steps for doing this are below :-
Go to your google Analytics account, open admin section.
-Then go under property-->custom definations and select custom dimensions
click on new custom dimension add name and select scope "session" and click on create (Note :- please note your dimension index).
Go to google tag manager, Create a new tag, click on more settings under "configure tag" and add custom dimension, place index number and dimension value(custom variable that you created) here.
set your firing rule and save it.
Now, you can see it under report by setting secondary dimensions as custom dimensions. Also if you want to further analysis on this data you can also use Biq Query plugin for GA.
You are ready to go!!
I had to change the page title for few pages which were first published 1-2 weeks ago. But google analytics is still showing the old page title.
Is there any way to force google analytic to store the new page title?
No. You cannot change historical data (with the possible exception of transaction data).
