How do I add Google analytics?

James_Puckett

How do I add Google Analytics to my forum? Just adding the Google code to the head breaks the forum, but there is no plugin for Google Analytics.

Hi James, just email me your code and I'll add it. lincoln@vanillaforums.com

The problem is it currently conflicts with our default analytics code so we have to switch it out manually.

James_Puckett

I sent it over. Thanks, Lincoln.

Lincoln

Howdy James, apologies for the delay. You're all set now. You should start receiving data from this afternoon onward.

James_Puckett

Thanks again, Lincoln.

Lincoln, I can see that you added the script to my page when I look at the HTML. But no data is showing up in Google Analytics. Do I need to do anything else on my end?

Lincoln

No, it should've started working. Can you confirm the account number in the HTML matches your account?

James_Puckett

It matches.

Hi James, because you're using a custom domain name there was a mismatch between the domain in the Analytics code & your site. I've customized the Analytics code to match your domain name as well. This should be fixed now.
