    I have analytics installed on my blog (www.mintyferret.com) which is run on Wordpress and it works fine. What exactly are you doing? For me I just put the Analytics code in my footer so it's there on every page.

    Which plugin are you using? I use Google Analytics.

    Just paste the code in the Options -> Google Analytics box and you're set.

    You can add the code by yourself. Just go to Theme Editor, edit Footer.php and add the code before the </body> tag.

    Go to themes in your admin panel. Click on the edit theme. Then click the head in the right corner.
    Find this: <body>

    Paste the your analytics code that they gave you AFTER <body>

    Hope it helps

    Just do a search for the plugin if you don't want to go into the editor
