 * Hi,
 * I have a custom Reader theme (a child of main theme) and I am trying to set up
   Google Analytics. I tried adding the snippet of json into the configuration field
   from the options page, but `<amp-analytics>` does not show up on my posts when
   I check the page source.

 * If I try it with another Reader Theme like Twenty Nineteen it will work. Am I
   missing something for it to work on my own theme? Would I have to use the `amp_post_template_analytics`
   filter instead?

 * Does your custom AMP Reader child theme have `wp_footer()` as required?

 * Ah that was it! I was missing wp_footer().
 * Thank you.

 * Yes, the standard WordPress theme template tags should be used. So use `wp_head()`
   in `header.php` and `wp_footer()` in `footer.php`, etc.
