Google Analytics Not Reading My SITE!

    Hey all,

    I have a word press blog in which I have installed google analytics via a plug in. I have used this same plugin in a bunch of my other sites, but for some reason this site is not getting any updates.

    Actually it's had the Status Clock for the last 4 days. It says that the site has the tracking code installed correctly but nothing has changed.

    I did check to make sure that the tracking ID was correct and all is good there.

    The site is http://howtodownloadmovies.info

    any help would be greatly appreciated

    thanks

    It's adding some extra Javascript by the looks of things that doesn't need to be there. Personally I'd scrap the plugin and go to the Analytics web site, get the code from there and paste it into the header.php file just above the </head> section. For one thing, the code Google is now using is updated from what the plugin is using and that tends to be more reliable. Also it might show up as not installed if you're not getting any significant traffic as that seems to automatically switch it to the "collecting data" mode.

    I agree with trevHCS and would like to ad that some templates do not work with all plugins, If the new site uses a different template then that could be the problem. I have gotten into a habit of always installing the code into the header myself.

    Check the source view of the website pages after logging off from the website admin - Some plugin set up does not track admin pages..

    I highly recommend - Ultimate Google Analytics Plugin for Wordpress
