Google Analytics plugin by Joost de Valk

  • Hey y’all,

    I have the latest version of Joost de Valk’s google analytics plugin from his website and WP v 2.3.1 (latest) and I have a problem using it. It seems that it isn’t working. I put my code in the format UA-…-. and then it doesn’t give any error yet there is no sign of any google analytics code in any of the webpages.

    Does anyone have success with this plugin? Or could try running it on his wp 2.3.1 installation?

  • I’m not familiar with the plugin, but if it’s like most plugins of this nature, it relies on the wp_footer hook. Make sure your theme has this in footer.php right before the </body> tag:

    <?php wp_footer(); ?>

    Nice, thanks!

    Hmm. May want to contact the plugin author. Or you could just insert the google analytics code into your theme manually. They give you the code at google; just paste it in right above where you put that wp_footer hook.

    Actually I found this post here describing why one may not be seeing the code:

    And it seems to be working ok now. The only possible problem I can think of is that the code is not inserted into the <head> tag. Can this slow down page load time for the user browsing the site?
