Add Google Analytics Instructions

[thebusysingleparent 0]

Maybe you or someone can help me. I have the google analytics code where it needs to be. It was working great and I don't know what I did to change this but now for some reason it isn't working. Google analytics shows that it is "receiving data" but it doesn't show any visitors. I know this isn't true - I have a new site but I know for fact that I do have a few visitors. I don't know exactly when it all started... I know at one time I had hit the reset to default on my platform pro settings - thinking it was just going to change that one setting but it changed everything and I didn't notice this for a day or so. In the meantime I know I installed plugins and stuff so maybe I'm having incompatibility issues or something. I think I even upgraded to the latest wordpress 3.0.5. Anyone have any ideas on this problem?

Hey Christina - Sometimes it takes a little time. Is it showing info now?

Yes, I think I figured out what happened.

Hi There, Where do I put the code for google analytics in Platform Pro? I'd rather just install the code myself rather than use a plugin. Thanks!

Good afternoon, I have google analytics scripting entered in the header tag of my other subdomain blogs, with no problem. Platform pro responds with a scripting error and brings the site down when it is added to the header.php file before the tag. When I add the code, the code visibly displays on the website, upper left corner, which I find particularly unattractive. Sites involved are parceledgardens.com (multi-site), analyticallyspeaking.com and blog.azartisan.com. How can I add the code without bringing the site down or without making everyone privy to my analytics code? Thanks, Jan

Why don't you just add the javascript code to Custom Code -> Header Scripts ?

I ended up using an analytics plugin to take care of this, since the theme didn't seem to resolve this issue on it's own.

Do you still need further assistance or are you keeping the analytics plugin?
