I am posting this question again with detailed description. Hope this time I will get valuable advice from Experts!!

I want to create Google Analytic funnel for Registration Page(On successful Registration, Url doesn't change). I have created a virtual pageview tag in GTM

Please see attached imageenter image description here

and pushed following Datalayer on Success:

dataLayer.push({
'event':'VirtualPageview',
'virtualPageURL':'/virtual/login/',
'virtualPageTitle' : ' Registration Page'
});

Trigger

enter image description here

When I am debugging the getting message: Tags are not fired on this page but on the left side event is showing "Virtual pageview".

Can Anyone help/guide me?

To answer you question. Your Event you send via the datalayer is the following: 'event':'VirtualPageview - but the listener looks different. "VRegistrationSuccesfully". Set your trigger to a event called "VirtualPageview". This should do it. What I don´t realy get is what you want to do. I think it would be easier to send a Event to GA to track the succesful registration -> For Example = EventCategory = Success, Trigger = {{YourURL}} – DanielS
I think it would be easier to send a Event to GA to track the succesful registration -> For Example = EventCategory = Success, Trigger = {{YourURL}} – I have two forms on a single page i.e.: Login and Registration. And, I want to create funnel for both. Is it possible with your method? If yes, Can you please help me? – Mark Wahlberg
I would recomend to decide between events/virtual pageviews based on your reporting needs and not based on "I think it's easier". Both options are easy to implement, just make sure you are aware that with Events you won't be able to create funnels in your reporting. Both options have different pros/cons – Matus
As Daniel mentioned the only problem I can see is with the name of your event. If you rename it to: "dataLayer.push({ 'event':'VRegistrationSuccesfully', ..." it should work just fine. – Matus
Matus and Daniel. Thank you so much for your help. I have changed the trigger to "VirtualPageview". It is working :) – Mark Wahlberg

I have checked your query and noticed that the event name in your trigger is wrong. Please change event name to "VirtualPageview" and it will work. You can read more about vpvs here: http://stackbug.com/google-analytics/how-can-you-generate-a-virtual-pageview-on-event/
