Question about Google Analytics and wordpress

Hello,
If someone could help me with google Analytics and wordpress.

I have a self hosted wordpress blog and signed up for google Analytics and its says to add the google code and past it on to every page I want to track so when I log in to the wordpress admin and look for the </body> tag but I can't seem to find that.

Thanks
Steve

 

Two options, you put the code manually in your blog like this;

• Goto Themes / Editor in the Admin Panel
• Edit Footer.php to include your code (if it is writable)

Or you get a plugin to do it;

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-analytics-for-wordpress/

 

you will get the closing </body> tag inside footer.php. you can edit your Footer.php directly in your server if you have FTP access.

 

do one thing install wordpress plugin for google analytics and just add your profile id of GA. it will work/.


Let me know if you need my help

 

It should work correctly no matter what you do with it.

 

Well best thing for you add any Plugins from different choice in Plugin directory and just put your Analytics Account ID that's it. It will be good for you as you not need to do any edit in template. Some themes also offer Footer or Header option where you can paste these codes.

 

you can find it inside footer.php located inside your themes folder. you can also use an Analytics plugin.

 

Try Ultimate Google Analytics plugin for wordpress. That helps you. Let me know if u need any help with that

 

simply open "Appearance -> editor" page in your WP admin interface, click "Footer" on the right and place analytics code just before </body>. Click "update file". That's it

 

Thanks for the answers guys - I have been trying to find the answers to this exact question all morning.

Cheers
