Hi there!
Thank you so much for choosing the Variations theme! We’re glad to have you with us.
I see you’re looking to integrate Google Analytics into your website. Great choice! You can do this easily by using a plugin or by utilizing the “wp_head” hook. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you started:
1. Create a Child Theme: This is where all your custom modifications will be safely kept. It’s an essential step to maintain your changes even after theme updates.
2. Add a functions.php File: Inside your child theme, create a new file named functions.php.
3. Insert the Tracking Code: Below is a simple example of how you can add your Google Analytics tracking code to your website:
<?php
if (!function_exists('variations_child_google_analytics_tracking_code')) {
/**
* Include Google Analytics Tracking code.
*
* @return void
*/
function variations_child_google_analytics_tracking_code()
{ ?>
<!-- Google tag (gtag.js) -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id={YOUR-CODE-ID}"></script>
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag() {
dataLayer.push(arguments);
}
gtag('js', new Date());
gtag('config', '{YOUR-CODE-ID}');
</script>
<?php }
}
add_action('wp_head', 'variations_child_google_analytics_tracking_code');
