 * Hi all,
 * I’ am trying to add Google Analytics to my [blog](http://www.subitelabragueta.com.ar).
   I ‘am still completing the initial procedures required by Google Analytics.
 * **Can someone advise me where do I have to copy the CODE I was provided by Google
   Analytics? In which of the theme templates?**
 * Thanks in advance!

 * didn’t you read the instructions from google? it says there you should paste 
   the codes before **</body>** of your theme! should be in the **footer.php**

 * I’ve just added google analytics code. If you are not a coder or developer this
   can be a bit of a challenge.
 * Yes it needs to go in </body> of footer.php – but where/how to find this!
 * I went into my siteadmin and browsed the files. In my case plesk control panel
   provided by my web host. Using file manager I browsed to
 * httpdocs / wp-content / themes / mytheme
 * footer.php is a file in this folder.
 * (you may find httpdocs in your root folder or in your wordpress folder).
 * I selected ‘edit file’ . Footer.php is a short file and </body> is near the bottom
   of the page. I paste the code from google in, hit save, went back to google and
   clicked ‘check status’ and hey presto my google analystics is working 🙂
 * Hope this helps any other ‘non-technies’ looking for an answer

 * [@rachel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rachel/)@kathys – that is a very
   complicated and long winded way of doing it…
 * Just go into wp-admin of your wordpress site, go to appearance. Then click “editor”
   under the appearance menu, select the footer.php and add the code there. Click
   update and you’re done!

 * I like the plugin called Google Analyticator – It is pretty simple to install
   and use and even displays basic stats on your dashboard. Look in the plugin directory
   for Google Analyticator
