I believe I've setup the linker correctly but it appears that maybe the plug-in is being disabled? I am also using Modernizr on the source site to load GA async.

From console with GA debug: 
"Linker disabled. Ignoring linker parameter: 1.12478132.1488529761.1301073093 "

Source:
    <script>
    (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
      (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
      m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
    })(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');

    ga('create', 'UA-3768122-6', 'happyherbivore.com', {
      'allowLinker': true
    });
    ga('send', 'pageview');
    ga('require', 'linker');

    </script>
 
Destination:
    <script>
      (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
      (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
      m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
      })(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');
    
      ga('create', 'UA-40321561-1', 'rebootcleanse911.com', {
            'allowLinker': true
          });
      ga('send', 'pageview');
    
    </script>

Thanks,

Scott

Hi Scott,

It appears you've discovered a bug in the 'create' command. 
We'll push a fix for this soon, but you can workaround this problem with the following changes:


1. On the source site, replace this:

    ga('create', 'UA-3768122-6', 'happyherbivore.com', {
      'allowLinker': true
    });

With this:

    ga('create', 'UA-3768122-6', {
      'cookieDomain': 'happyherbivore.com', 
      'allowLinker': true
    });


2. Likewise, on the destination site replace this:

ga('create', 'UA-40321561-1', 'rebootcleanse911.com', {
    'allowLinker': true
});


With this:

ga('create', 'UA-40321561-1', {
   'cookieDomain': 'rebootcleanse911.com',
   'allowLinker': true
});

Sorry to revive the thread but I'm having this issue as well, but using Google Tag Manager. I've tried setting the cookie domain, but no luck. Any ideas?

I too have had this issue with GTM. Looking forward to an update.

Thanks!

We're working on it, but you can set allowLinker as an additional field for the time being.

Hi Scott and Brad,

Did you mean to have 2 UA ids with your code?  I have this same setup, but with the same UA id and it only gets 'direct/none' as the source.

I know this is an old thread but has this bug cropped back up again? Starting Jan 25 my cross linking broke on all my sites.
