[Support request] Does theme work well with MonsterInsights plugin?

[Alana]

Hi,

I wanted to know whether GP works well with MonsterInsights before I install that plugin. Is there a different plugin for Google Analytics that I should consider?

Thanks!

Hi there,

I’m not exactly sure what the plugin does but if a plugin is built to work with WordPress themes – it will work with GP 🙂

If you are just wanting to add Google Analytics code, then simply use Hooke Element should do:

Let me know if this helps 🙂

Thanks a lot for the response Leo; that’s a very useful reference!

MonsterInsights is a Google Analytics tool which is well-rated for it’s user experience and features. I’m concerned if I do the hook / code myself that I won’t have the same level of analysis available to me (I’m still a newbie with code)

For speed, use monster insights with this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/host-analyticsjs-local/

Hey Leo,

I think I did it (using the Header hook)! How will I know that GA is working properly?

Thanks again!
