Easy
by InSightGraphicDesign·9 years ago
Easy to use. Lightweight plugin. Just what I need — nothing more, nothing less.
Works as expected
by ulfkri·9 years ago
This plugin works as expected right out of the box. Five Stars!
Also, ignore the 1 star review as that guy was doing it wrong and didn’t even respond to the solution from the author.
Simple – does the job

Simple and does the job nicely. To check the instalation, check your analytics real time to see that you are getting numbers. Simply checking the header and footer files while logged on as admin does not show the code.
Thanks
Simple and works great

Ignore the 1 star review someone gave this plugin – they were clearly viewing the site while logged in as admin, in which case the tracking code doesn’t show.
This is a simple plugin that does a simple job perfectly, thanks!
doesn't work
by Jan Zikmund·10 years ago·2 replies
Installed, entered UA code, nothing happened, analytics code didn’t show up in page source. I use both wp_head and wp_footer hooks, have no time to debug something so simple so just deleted it.
