Adding Google Analytics Code To Header
5 replies · Started by Michael on April 8, 2021
Hello,
Just a quick question about adding the Google Analytics code.
I searched the forum for previous posts and I found these instructions:
1. Appearance > Elements > New > Hook.
2. Add your GA Script or the first GTM Script.
3. Select wp_head hook from the list
4. Set Display Rules for Entire site.
I have never heard of hooks before seeing this instruction, so I just wanted to make sure I'm doing it right!
I can see the post interface when adding this, so my questions were:
- When I've added the GA code here, do I just click publish?
- Do I set it to public or private?
Thanks!
Michael
Hi Michael,
– When I’ve added the GA code here, do I just click publish?
Yes :)
– Do I set it to public or private?
Public.
Done it!
Thanks,
Michael
No problem :)
I've more Google code to add, but I need to remember how to add it! To head in all pages,
<!-- Google tag (gtag.js) -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=AW-1072711480"></script>
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('js', new Date());
gtag('config', 'AW-1072711480');
</script>
Hi there,
go to Appearance > Elements
Add New -> Hook.
Add your code to the Text Area.
