google analytics

  • would like to use google analytics to monitor web search stats but I need to pase a code in the page I want to track. I was going to try it out on the home page. Has anyone used it? How do you paste the code into the page?

  • I used Google Analytics on a Joomla project. As far as I remember, all you do is paste the GoogleAnalytics Tracking Snippet in footer.php just before the closing </body> and </html> tags. That should be all.

    When it comes to codes I get lost! Where do I find footer.php?

    You can use this in your functions.php file:

    <?php
add_action('wp_footer', 'add_googleanalytics');
function add_googleanalytics() { ?>
// Paste your Google Analytics code here
<?php } ?>

    Sorry for the like of technical skills but where do I find the functions.php file? When found I presume you just paste it in?

    mjw architects,

    You can find the functions.php and footer.php under your activated themes folder

    wp-content\themes\<theme-folder-name>\functions.php
wp-content\themes\<theme-folder-name>\footer.php

    for example, default theme folder will be

    wp-content\themes\default\footer.php

    Thanks,

    Go to Appearance/Editor in your admin panel, select the Footer template, and paste the code somewhere above the </body> tag.

    Or, use a plugin instead:
