Hi everyone. I've had a couple of sites that have transferred to Joomla from Wordpress and on both occasions Direct traffic/users in GA4 has shot up immediately after the change to the detriment of every other source. Has anyone else experienced this and/or found a solution?

I'm using Tag Manager to implement tracking with a similar set-up to other sites in Wordpress that aren't having the same issue. Any thoughts on what might be causing it.

Would also be interested in thoughts on Joomla as a platform in general. My experiences haven't been great so far but I'm willing to be persuaded otherwise!
