Google Analytics

  • Hi all,

    I’ am trying to add Google Analytics to my blog. I ‘am still completing the initial procedures required by Google Analytics.

    Can someone advise me where do I have to copy the CODE I was provided by Google Analytics? In which of the theme templates?

    Thanks in advance!

  • didn’t you read the instructions from google? it says there you should paste the codes before </body> of your theme! should be in the footer.php

    I’ve just added google analytics code. If you are not a coder or developer this can be a bit of a challenge.

    Yes it needs to go in </body> of footer.php – but where/how to find this!

    I went into my siteadmin and browsed the files. In my case plesk control panel provided by my web host. Using file manager I browsed to

    httpdocs / wp-content / themes / mytheme

    footer.php is a file in this folder.

    (you may find httpdocs in your root folder or in your wordpress folder).

    I selected ‘edit file’ . Footer.php is a short file and </body> is near the bottom of the page. I paste the code from google in, hit save, went back to google and clicked ‘check status’ and hey presto my google analystics is working ??

    Hope this helps any other ‘non-technies’ looking for an answer

    @rachel@kathys – that is a very complicated and long winded way of doing it…

    Just go into wp-admin of your wordpress site, go to appearance. Then click “editor” under the appearance menu, select the footer.php and add the code there. Click update and you’re done!

    I like the plugin called Google Analyticator – It is pretty simple to install and use and even displays basic stats on your dashboard. Look in the plugin directory for Google Analyticator
