Title: Google Analytics Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Google Analytics * [thatchiccray](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thatchiccray/) * (@thatchiccray) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-analytics-106/) * Hi, Just wondering, if I am looking to add the code to my google analytics into the theme, where would the best place be? I’m looking at the theme’s code on editor, however I’m not sure where to paste it as it seems to be not connecting. * Thanks!
