Google Analytics – Best Option

Also, would it be best to just use a plugin? If so, does anyone have any good luck with any of them?

Okay, I’ve tried the code in the functions.php method, Google Analyticator, and Google Analytics by Yoast. And none of them work. I’m pretty sure it’s user error, so I am looking for any kind of help here.

I am going to try to let the functions.php file, with the code the way I mentioned earlier, sit overnight to see if Google sees it. Obviously with the 2 plugins deactivated. (btw, I only tried each of these methods 1 at a time.)

Please help if you can. I’m hoping that since nikeo is the theme author, he might have some more advice.

Here is all of the code in my functions.php:

<?php

// Add Google Analytics

  add_action('wp_head','my_analytics', 20);
  function my_analytics() {
    ?>
      /* START OF TRACKING CODE */
      <script>
        (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
        (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
        m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
        })(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');
        ga('create', 'UA-XXXXXXXX-X', 'auto'); /* CHANGE THE TRACKING ID HERE */
        ga('send', 'pageview');
      </script>
      /* END OF TRACKING CODE */
    <?php

Okay, so the status in GA is Receiving Data but I am not seeing any page hits when I view it from my other laptop that is not logged in to WordPress. And I am not seeing any Active Users in the Real Time Overview area. Any ideas?

Another note about the code, I removed the /* START OF TRACKING CODE */ and /* END OF TRACKING CODE */ lines because they were showing up above my navbar in a grey row.
