# Install when analytics code may already exits?

 * Hello,
    Hope you can provide some guidance on this …. I’d like to install this
   plugin but have a concern. Google Analytics is already capturing something from
   my WordPress site but the code does not seem to be in either the header or footer
   or other template files where I think it would normally be found. So, it being
   somewhere on the site, will it cause problems if I install this plugin? Or will
   this plugin just overwrite what is there? Many thanks!

 * It won’t overwrite what is there.. it is a very simple plugin that just adds 
   your GA code, doesn’t make any other changes to anything. I would recommend locating
   the source of the current GA code and going from there with whatever works best.

 * Thank you Jeff. I’ll need to step back and figure out where the original code
   is located.
