 * Is it ok for the tracking code snippet that GA (Universal) gives me is different
   than the tracking code that this plugin applies?
 * In otherwords, I set up a GA Universal Account and it provides me the snippet
   of code that I am supposed to add to my site. Instead of doing that I let your
   plugin do this for me by only specifying the Tracking ID.
 * I indicated that code was to be put in the footer, if that is of any use to this
   question.

 * I should also mention that 4 hours after implementing and enabling this plugin,
   I am still not seeing any data showing up in GA.

 * Hello!
 * Yes, the code provided by Google was slightly different from the one I used in
   previous plugin versions but it did not cause any issues. The method was the 
   same as suggested by Google. Anyway, I decided to modify it and make identical
   to the one that is offered by Google. There is a new plugin update (version 2.4)
   that fixes this.
