Google analytics won't work on Wordpress

    I installed a google analytics plugin on wordpress, and for the past 5 days google says it's gathering data. It's only supposed to take 24 hours. Something isn't right. Can anyone help?

    I personally dont use the plugin. You can also add the code to the footer of the template.

    Try deleting the url from analytics and reinstalling it.

    I had the same problem with my Google Analytics.

    I discovered it was the theme I was using. For some reason it made Analytics stop working.

    As soon as I switched themes, it started working again.

    Try changing your theme and see if it makes a difference...

    Mine was working fine then it stopped working even though I saw I was making some cents on adsense and mybloglog showed people visited. It wasn't the theme it was the fact that i switched themes and forgot to add the link. Ooops

    So everyone check that too.

    It's working great for me....
    Just insert the code into footer or header.
