Or even worse, &#8220;Your tagging server is out of date and no-longer supported&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An anxiety-inducing experience for sure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve been setting up GTM server for clients for years and this is this is the first time I&#8217;ve seen a message like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why is this happening?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m not entirely sure, but I have noticed quite a few changes in both Google Tag Manager and GTM server-side recently. The biggest ones are to do with server-side data transformations and GA4 demographic data now available when working with GTM server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t know what these are, don&#8217;t worry, your GTM server should keep running for the foreseeable future, but you might be missing important benefits if you don&#8217;t upgrade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fix is fairly simple &#8211; simply update your GTM server.<br><br>If you&#8217;re somewhat familiar with Google Cloud Platform, you shouldn&#8217;t have too much trouble working through these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Step 1<\/strong> &#8211; Go to https:\/\/tagmanager.google.com. Open the GTM server-side container that you need to upgrade. Click the GTM- link near the top right of the screen. In the popup, click the little box + arrow to link to open the Google Cloud App Engine instance that hosts your tracking setup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Step 2<\/strong> &#8211; Navigate to project settings and copy the project ID<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Step 3<\/strong> &#8211; Open GCP shell console and authorize access<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Step 4<\/strong> &#8211; Paste &#8216;sh -c &#8220;$(curl -fsSL https:\/\/googletagmanager.com\/static\/serverjs\/setup.sh)&#8221; &#8216; and hit enter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Step 5 <\/strong>&#8211; Hit enter for configuration option to confirm each of the existing configuration settings (WITHOUT changes!)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Step 6 <\/strong>&#8211; Finally, hit enter to confirm you want to update the GTM server application. Takes several minutes to update. You should see a success message at the end &#8220;Your server deployment is complete&#8221;.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Step 7<\/strong> &#8211; When you check your GTM server container, you&#8217;ll see the warning message is still there. That&#8217;s normal. It takes approximately 1 to 2 days for the warning message to go away. As long as you saw the &#8220;Your server deployment is complete&#8221; message on the previous step, everything should be fine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Need help?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Feel free to schedule a free 20-minute call to discuss your tracking &amp; analytics needs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-75\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/call.measurebit.com\/\" style=\"border-radius:5px\">Schedule call<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;ve logged into Google Tag Manager recently, you might have seen this message, &#8220;Your tagging server is out of date&#8230;&#8221;.
