    I thought I followed the instructions given to me by Google Analytics but when I right click on my blog and click view page source it has this error message:

    <!– tracker not added by Ultimate Google Analytics plugin v1.6.0: https://www.oratransplant.nl/uga –>
    <!– tracker is not added for a logged on user of this level –>

    I copied and pasted the code given to me into the footer of my theme right above the word body. Can someone help me get this working?

    Thanks.

  • Do you want to use a plug-in or do you want to paste the code manually into your theme file? You shouldn’t really do both.

    Ultimate Google Analytics says it’s only compatible up to WP 2.8 so if you’re comfortable doing it manually, I would deactivate Ultimate Google Analytics.

    Or if you prefer a plug-in, check out Google Analyticator:

    https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/google-analyticator/

    Just keep in mind it’s one or the other – plug-in OR add to your theme manually. Alos keep in mind that the latest asynchronous version of Google Analytics tracking code goes in the <head> section, right before the closing </head> – not in the footer.

    Thanks for the quick reply. I deleted the code out of the footer in my blog, but the error message is still there???

    I downloaded the plug-in and uploaded it to wordpress. So far so good. Then I looked at the settings and left everything at default. My question now is where to I paste the code I got from Google. I pasted it into the first box that looked like it would hold it: Additional tracking code
    (before tracker initialization):

    There was also a box called Additional tracking code
    (after tracker initialization):

    Am I supposed to paste it in there also?

    Or am I not even in the right place? Sorry I’m so new to this. Very much appreciate the help.

    One more quick question – since I did the plug-in, do I still need to deactivate Ultimate Google Analytics. It says if I un-check the box, it will disable the whole plug-in. Does that mean just that part, or the entire Google Analyticator? Thanks again!

    You should only have one Google Analytics plug-in running at a time. Unfortunately I’ve never used either myself so I can’t help you with the specifics of their configuration, but hopefully someone else can. Not sure if I understand your last question, but the plug-ins are separate, so if you deactivate one it shouldn’t touch the other.

    <!– tracker is not added for a logged on user of this level –

    Do not know this plugin

    However, I think its working OK

    Seems you must be logged out for the tracking to work; thats the warning msg; its trying to work;

    Access your pages from another browser where you are not loggged in; yo might see it does work

    I checked just now and I do have tracking info for my blog so it is working. Thanks for the tips. I do still wonder if the code is pasted into the correct place. Do anyone know the answer to that question?

    Do you think the plug-in somehow automatically finds the code & it shouldn’t be pasted into any box – – – – or should it be pasted in both places?

    I’m kind of anal about this stuff – would appreciate the help.

    Thanks…..

    Could you provide a link to your blog? That would be the best way to check whether the code’s in the right place. ??

    Ok – trying again

    Your code definitely has multiple problems – I see code showing right on your page, and there are duplicate chunks in your header code, and one chunk of code is missing the opening script tag. In addition, you also have a triplicate set of code in your footer, which is missing your ID number – UA-XXXXXX-X should be a number.

    As things are currently so messed up, I would start fresh: remove any manually added Analytics code, deactivate and remove all analytics plug-ins, pick one plug-in (preferably Google Analyticator), reinstall and reconfigure it.

    Ok, I deleted Ultimate Google and Google Analyticator. The only place I had manually pasted code was into the footer and I took that out last night. I reinstalled Google Analyticator and did not paste code anywhere when I configured it, just went with the default settings. Did that help at all?

    Looks good to me now.
