 * Hi marylinmonroe,
 * You have said that
 * > “Now you cannot add yor google tracking code unless you have a pro version.”
 * Could you please tell me or show me where we have exactly said that the Pro version
   only have this feature? After that I will explain this.
 * Thank You.

 * Ok, I thought it would be possible in a pro version. So you mean now it’s impossible
   at all? Neither this nor that version has that feature, right? Then it’s even
   worse.

 * Ok first I will tell about the update.
 * As per the new guidelines by WordPress.org to remove Options Panels in the themes
   that are hosted in the repository, we removed all the functionality of Theme 
   Options panel and implemented all the settings in the Customizer. So now you 
   can access settings from Theme Customizer. So it is about the new update.
 * And themes hosted in the official WPORG Theme Directory are not allowed to include
   site analytics options now. Earlier it was allowed to give that feature but now
   it is not. So we removed it from the new update.
 * **Analytics Code is Not a Theme Feature**
 * Please read this article and the “comments” – [Why You Should Never Add Analytics Code to Your WordPress Theme](http://wptavern.com/why-you-should-never-add-analytics-code-to-your-wordpress-theme)
 * Now anyone cannot argue that this is a required feature for themes.
 * So that is the only setting we removed from customizer and that is why we removed
   it.
 * So no matter what version you are using free or pro now you cannot add it from
   theme options panel. But there are plenty of “free” plugins to add google tracking
   code. So please use a plugin.
 * So before you give a bad rating for a theme please post a question in support
   forum, then the theme authors or community members will help you. Because a theme
   is not just a theme, it is a someone’s hard work and a dedication to keep this
   theme repository free and awesome. So it is not nice when people use themes and
   immediately give bad ratings when they found a simple mistake. But in this case
   we have not done a single mistake. We have done the right thing.
 * So I think you will understand this and change this bad rating.
 * Thank You.
