 * Hi
 * I’m having problems installing Google Analytics for WordPress. The plugin has
   been detected and has been activated. I then went into google analytics and setup
   a profile for an **existing domain** as the wordpress is under our website domain
   i.e. [http://www.airtimemanager.co.uk/news](http://www.airtimemanager.co.uk/news).
   Despite all my efforts Google analytics says “Tracking Not Installed”.
 * In my next attempt I got a new bit of code from google analytics by adding a **
   new domain** but I still got the same message – “Tracking Not Installed”.
 * I then tried to edit the footer in my existing theme. I went to “theme editor”
   and then “footer” and added <?php get_footer(); ?> just under <div id=”footer”
   >
 * Is this correct? What am I doing wrong? Help!
 * Many thanks for your help

 * I’m having similar problem: Google Analytics is showing a yellow exclamation 
   point and says “tracking not installed,” but I have put placed the appropriate
   code in my setting already.
 * There is also a pink warning on the settings page: “Warning wp_footer(); not 
   found in your footer.php file, this might mean this plugin will not work!” I 
   changed the dropdown for “where should the tracking script be installed” from
   the footer default to “in the header.” But the warning is still there.
 * Thanks.

 * I am having the same problem with google analytics for wordpress. I am also using
   a sub-folder: [http://www.sample.com/test/](http://www.sample.com/test/)
    I have
   tried several things as will with no luck. I am using wordpress 2.7 When I look
   in the code it is producing the script so I don’t think that’s the problem.
