Title: use only GA code without the plugin? Last modified: November 8, 2020 --- # use only GA code without the plugin? * [Alwin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wp-opti/) * (@wp-opti) * [5 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/use-only-ga-code-without-the-plugin/) * Hello, I am in the procces of deleting not strictly necessary plugins because I have to much of them… πŸ™‚ * A plugin to add GA code is not strictly necessary because I can add the GA code manually of course. However, I often find it difficult to edit the GA code myself. So now I came up with this workflow: * – Install the GAinWP plugin – Use the plugin to edit my GA code (for example things like track downloads, anominyze ip address and so on) – Go to the source code of my websit – Copy the GA code from the source code (generated by the plugin) and add the code manually – Delete the GAinWP plugin * My question is: can I use the GA code generated by the plugin without the plugin being installed? Is the generated code still working when added manually to the header? The topic β€˜use only GA code without the plugin?’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/ga-in/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=1893724) * [GAinWP Google Analytics Integration for WordPress](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ga-in/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ga-in/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ga-in/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ga-in/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ga-in/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ga-in/reviews/) ## Tags * [code](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/code/) * [manually](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/manually/) * 0 replies * 1 participant * Last reply from: [Alwin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wp-opti/) * Last activity: [5 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/use-only-ga-code-without-the-plugin/) * Status: not resolved
