 * I have entered the correct UA google analytics number in the google analytics
   plug in, but the first digit still shows a 1 on my site instead of a 4. I have
   tried to edit it in the plug in, but it won’t change. i have tried to find the
   number in the source code, but I can’t find it. Can anyone tell me the file name
   and the path to find the UA number in the source code.
 * Thanks!

 * Are you entering it in the format:
    UA-xxxxxxx-x ?

 * I did verify the format of the UA # and it is correct. I am still trying to find
   the source code to change it, but can’t seem to locate the correct file.
 * Any suggestions.
