Using wordpress, I manually inserted the tracking code given to me by Google Analytics just before the tag into my header.php file. Google Analytics is still showing Tracking Not Installed.
here's the source code for my site:

Any ideas?
It looks like the javascript is broken from cutting and pasting.
Easiest thing to do is use a plugin rather then edit theme files. Take a look at http://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=google+analytics for any number of plugins - simple to complex - that will work.
Most you simply enter your Google ID - and sometimes authenticate with your Google account - and the plugin takes it from there.

I have read multiple tutorials on web but I'm unable to find my tracking I'd/code on my Google Analytics property list. This is the image which I got from web and I want to see m Any help will be appreciated.
You can simply use any plugin out there. Here are some of my favorites:
Google Site Kit. <== This is the official Google Plugin
MonsterInsights
ExactMetrics
GA Google Analytics <== Simplest and just for this purpose. No unnecessary code.
Note: There are many others but these are per my favorites list and liking.
1st plugin will auto-connect with your google account and you won't need to put any ID or code into your site manually. Hence easy to set up.
Site Kit by Google is great for WordPress users. By using Site Kit you don't need to manually insert the code, as depicted by the screenshot you share. The plugin can insert the code for you.
In addition to the placement of code, Site Kit can show you Analaytics and other data within your wp-admin dashboard!
Recently I have been working on a project that requires GTM, GA & GO to be installed on a website.
Is there an optimal way to install all 3 onto the website without requiring copying of 3 individual code spinnets?
If we do require 3 individual code spinnets, What is the correct order to place the spinnets?
Not having to install multiple separate snippets is pretty much the point of a tag management system.
Create a Google Tag Manager Container and install the code snippet in the head of your page (that is the recommendation, but it will work pretty much everywhere else).
Then go to your container settings. In "Tags", click new. You will see tag templates for both Google Analytics (both Universal Analytics and GA4) and for Google Optimize (Documentation for Optimize with GTM is here, although it is slightly confusing). Basically you create a tag with the respective template, drop your tracking ids in, create a trigger that says when the tag will be executed and then publish your container.
You might want to have a look at the online courses Google offer for GTM: https://analytics.google.com/analytics/academy/course/5 to make best use of GTM.
I have a Wordpress website and have the Personal plan.
My goal is to implement the tracking code of the Google Tag Manager on each site.
When I am on the Wordpress site in the HTML view, I should be able to paste one tracking code as close to the opening <head> tag as possible on every page of my website but this is not possible.
That´s why I had a talk with somebody from the Wordpress Support team and their answer was the following:
I believe the code for Google Analytics is meant to go in the header of the site. Since WordPress.com is a fully managed environment, we don't have access to the header code.
Instead, we have a built in Google Analytics option available as part of the Business upgrade.
The issue is I don´t want to spend 25$ a month just to have Google Analytics integrated on my website. There must be also a way for somebody like me with a Personal plan to implement the tracking codes.
When I tried to implement them, they were not hidden on the website which should not be the case (because "hidden" is in the code).
Did anybody of you have the same issue like I am facing?
P.S.: There are also Plugins for Google Analytics but with my plan I can´t upload any Plugins. :/
I integrated the code on a text widget. It worked just fine. If you dont give title to the widget, its even completly invisible. so dont spend unecessary money
The blog was created in 2010 or 2011 so I do not remember if it was Classic Template that was used. I tried adding my tracking id in the blog settings. I also tried copying the tracking code in the HTML of my template. That did not work I guess because according to the instructions the tracking code should appear right before the </head> tag. I see the tracking code in my source page but there is a lot of script and css code before the </head> tag.
Normally when I add the tracking code in my Ruby on Rails applications the tracking code is immediately found (or at least it was the last time I implemented tracking). However now my account says "tracking not installed". I wonder since it has been a while if I have to wait for the tracking to be recognized.
Your tracking should be immediate. To check if data is being sent to Analytics you can open developer tools in Chrome and go to the networking tab. You should see something like this:
If you see utm.gif being called then Analytics is receiving data. Unless your unique ID code is wrong.
In Blogger though you shouldn't have to do much, there is a setting in the administration panel just for this (image taken from WikiHow - Google Analytics in Blogger:
I am converting over a static site to Wordpress. Wordpress is installed in a subdirectory. What I'd like to know is how to add the subdirectory to the current Google Analytics report. I have tried adding both Google analytics asynch and ga.js code into the existing embed code according to the instructions as outlined here-
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gajs/gaTrackingSite#domainSubDomains
...and it isn't showing up on the dashboard.
Is there a straightforward methodology or tutorial for doing this?
Incidentally, I've tried using a plugin to integrate Google Analytics into the site, but it's only showing me the current analytics, without an option for the subdirectory. So, I'm assuming the embed code needs to be modified.
Any help would be appreciated.
