Problem with Google Analytics

[juliuskoschnick]

Dear community,
I've succesfully compiled my website with hugo and wowchemy until I ran an update and now I'm stuck with a problem that apparently stems from Google Analytics. I've changed the Google Analytics settings to any imaginable version in params.yaml - like setting it to '' or null. Now, the following is the error message. Am I correct in looking in params.yaml for a solution?

Thanks so much for any help!
