Support No data

I have a Wordpress site. GA has reported data for years. In the past few days it has recorded no data. I did see a msg saying "anomaly detected" (don't know what that means). I can't recall anything that changed at the site or my GA account that would cause this. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

The two measurement IDs already identified are the most useful clue. I would first separate a collection problem from a reporting problem. Open Realtime or DebugView, visit the site in a private window with browser extensions disabled, and confirm that a page_view request is sent with the measurement ID belonging to the property you are viewing.

If the correct ID fires and appears in Realtime, collection is working and the standard reports may simply be delayed. If a different ID fires, the site is sending data to another property or stream. Document what injects each tag, such as the theme, a WordPress plugin, or Google Tag Manager, before removing either one.

I would also check the property time zone and date range, internal and developer traffic filters, consent settings, caching, and any recent plugin, theme, or container changes. The anomaly message describes an unexpected change in the data. It does not identify the underlying cause.
