   Hello,

   I'm trying to install the simplest of hit counters on my site, http://www.ridgeblog.ca

   Here's the instructions I have:
   1. Upload simplehitcounter.php to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
   2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
   3. Place <?= simplehitcounter_hit(); ?> somewhere like the footer or sidebar.

   Steps 1 and 2 are simple. Step 3, I'm not sure how. Putting a line of code is not like dragging and dropping a widget in there.

   Can anyone help out?

   Thanks.

   - Greg

   You can that code in footer.php just after `wp_footer();
   ?>` before
   </body>

   Hi govpatel,

   my theme (Twenty Eleven) doesn't contain that line of code in footer.php

   Here is the entire footer.php - where would you put that piece of code for the plugin?

   Thank you..

   Thank you all... I found the right spot and it worked.

   I think this kind of coding is called HTML... I am not really familiar with it. Can anyone recommend a good reference source to get me started on understanding the language?

   Thanks.
