Title: Google Analytics Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Google Analytics * Resolved [justbegun](https://wordpress.org/support/users/justbegun/) * (@justbegun) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-analytics-41/) * I thought I followed the instructions given to me by Google Analytics but when I right click on my blog and click view page source it has this error message: * * I copied and pasted the code given to me into the footer of my theme right above the word body. Can someone help me get this working? * Thanks. * justbegun Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 15 total) * Moderator [Kathryn Presner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zoonini/) * (@zoonini) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-analytics-41/#post-1912730) * Do you want to use a plug-in or do you want to paste the code manually into your theme file? You shouldn’t really do both. * [Ultimate Google Analytics](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ultimate-google-analytics/) says it’s only compatible up to WP 2.8 so if you’re comfortable doing it manually, I would deactivate Ultimate Google Analytics. * Or if you prefer a plug-in, check out Google Analyticator: * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-analyticator/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-analyticator/) * Just keep in mind it’s one or the other – plug-in OR add to your theme manually. Alos keep in mind that the latest asynchronous version of Google Analytics tracking code goes in the section, right before the closing `` – not in the footer. * Thread Starter [justbegun](https://wordpress.org/support/users/justbegun/) * (@justbegun) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-analytics-41/#post-1912768) * Thanks for the quick reply. I deleted the code out of the footer in my blog, but the error message is still there??? * I downloaded the plug-in and uploaded it to wordpress. So far so good. Then I looked at the settings and left everything at default. My question now is where to I paste the code I got from Google. I pasted it into the first box that looked like it would hold it: Additional tracking code (before tracker initialization): * There was also a box called Additional tracking code (after tracker initialization): * Am I supposed to paste it in there also? * Or am I not even in the right place? Sorry I’m so new to this. Very much appreciate the help. * Thread Starter [justbegun](https://wordpress.org/support/users/justbegun/) * (@justbegun) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-analytics-41/#post-1912779) * One more quick question – since I did the plug-in, do I still need to deactivate Ultimate Google Analytics. It says if I un-check the box, it will disable the whole plug-in. Does that mean just that part, or the entire Google Analyticator? Thanks again! * Moderator [Kathryn Presner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zoonini/) * (@zoonini) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-analytics-41/#post-1912789) * You should only have one Google Analytics plug-in running at a time. Unfortunately I’ve never used either myself so I can’t help you with the specifics of their configuration, but hopefully someone else can. Not sure if I understand your last question, but the plug-ins are separate, so if you deactivate one it shouldn’t touch the other. * [Alwyn Botha](https://wordpress.org/support/users/123milliseconds/) * (@123milliseconds) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-analytics-41/#post-1912808) *
