 * Want to insert Google Analytics in the header.php _without_ using a plugin. (
   I really like to minimize the use of plugins.) Is this possible in Virtue regular
   yet? (I know you can do it in Premium.)
    Thanks!

 * Hey,
    You need to use a plugin for the free theme. Something like this- [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-google-analytics/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-google-analytics/)

 * You can also use a child theme and manually add a hook into the header but that
   just means you have to know some coding.
