# Analytics Event Tracking in Post Except

 * My theme uses the “Post Excerpt” section to display download link for products.
   However, the Google Analytics WordPress plugins doesn’t automatically add the
   event tracking code to the link – event if Download tracking is enabled in the
   plugin settings. (I’m guessing it’s because the link is in the Post Excerpt area)
 * Download tracking works OK if the download link is in the “Post Content”. Is 
   there a way to tell the plugin to add event tracking code to both Post Content
   and Post Excerpt?
 * Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
