Placing Google Analytics code

  • I am using the theme “Idyllic” and cannot place the GA code where it is picked up by GA. GA recommends placing it before the </body> tag, but there isn’t one! Can someone help, please?

  • You looked in the theme’s footer.php file? </body> is second from bottom.

    Tried that – still not seeing it!!

    Every theme has a closing body-tag… Just look for it in your other theme-files, like index.php.
    Or you might have deleted it.. Can you show the source code of one of your pages?

    In this case, I had actually downloaded the theme. I opened the footer.php. I admired the closing body tag.

    I promise, it is there.

    You’re right that the body tag is here under the footer. The problem is that I have put in the code and Google is still not seeing it.

    I place my google analytic code into WP in the Footer section before (/body) tag.
    However, my UA-******-** code changes after I “update file.”
    What could be going on?
