 * If you install this “WP Google Analytics” plugin, you’ll be able to add your 
   tracking ID under the “Settings” section in the admin.

 * Thanks, Daniel. I did see that and did add my tracking ID. Is that enough and
   does that mean that I don’t have to add any tracking code?

 * I’ve installed the WP Google Analytics plugin and activated it but I cannot get
   the tracking code to install.
    I copy the code from the Google page and then 
   paste it into the settings section of WordPress (the top section that is shown
   as Google Analytics tracking ID) and then save the changes. When I go back to
   the Google Analytics page it’s saying that the tracking has not been installed!!
   I cannot be installing it correctly!! Thanks for your anticipated response

 * [@flyaplane](https://wordpress.org/support/users/flyaplane/) Please start new
   threads for new questions.
 * What’s the URL of your site? Google Analytics takes a little bit of time to start
   tracking new sites.

 * I have installed WP google analytics and added the UA code. I have also installed
   Google analytics dashboard. When I click on that setting, I get an error message
   that there is no account. When I click on the widget in the dashboard I get the
   following message:
    You need to log in and select an account in the options panel.
   Where do I log in to find this options panel? Thanks for your help
