    Hello,
    If i am copying the code from google analytics into the header.php file is there any other information that I need to add?

    All that was there is

    <?php
/* empty */

    Do I copy the Tracking Code from google analytics and paste it below the empty line?

    Thanks,
    Bdenn.

    hey,

    Sorry for the delay. I’m not really sure where to add that. Do you have any links to relevant articles so I can read about what you’re trying to accomplish?

    Also, just so you know, the premium version of the theme has a menu option where you can place your Analytics code.

    Thanks,
    kevin

    Hey,
    Sorry I was out the last week with the birth of my first child.

    You can’t/shouldn’t add anything to the header.php file. It won’t work anyway.

    If you need to add a script I recommend you use a plugin like this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/header-and-footer-scripts/

    Or a plugin specific for google analytics

    If you feel you must edit a file I strongly encourage you to use a child theme. You would need to edit the templates/head.php file.
