Issue: Missing CDATA comments If your website uses any page caching extension/module or any module that can output minified

HTML, then you will be facing this issue. This issue is not from this extension and the only to solve

this issue is by disabling minify HTML output from your page caching extension/module. If you are

not sure about how to do that, you need to contact the developer/provider of page caching

extension.

For Journal2 Template users:

If you are using Journal2 template Page cache, then you can disable minify HTML from Journal

Dashboard > Settings > System & Performance > Set minify HTML to OFF. Save > Clear Page Cache >

Refresh your website > Check the conversion tag as mentioned above.
