Description
-----------

[](#description)

Tracking Code For Google Analytics is a simple, lightweight WordPress plugin for inserting your Google Analytics Universal Analytics tracking code. The plugin does one thing and one thing only; prints the standard Google Analytics tacking script to the `` of your website. To insert your tracking ID, navigate to Settings > General and then scroll to the bottom of the page.

### Composer

[](#composer)

`composer require claytoncollie/tracking-code-for-google-analytics`

### Filters

[](#filters)

If you want to set the tracking ID without using the wp-admin user interface, use the filter below.

`add\_filter( 'tracking\_code\_for\_google\_analytics\_id', /\*\* \* Set Google Analytics tracking ID. \* \* @param string $tracking\_id Tracking ID. \* \* @return string \*/ function ( string $tracking\_id ) : string { $tracking\_id

### 'UA-7654321';

[](#ua-7654321)

```
	return $tracking_id;
}

```

);`

### Definitions

[](#definitions)

You can also define the tracking ID in your wp-config.php file with the following snippet.

`define( 'TRACKING_CODE_FOR_GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_ID', 'UA-7654321' );`

Frequently Asked Questions
--------------------------

[](#frequently-asked-questions)

### Why did I build this plugin?

[](#why-did-i-build-this-plugin)

The plugins I have used in the past to solve this problem have too many features for my liking. This plugin is comprised two functions. One for registering a settings field on the Options General page. And another for printing the tracking code to the frontend. I want a lightweight solution for the websites that I build without all of the extra bells and whistles. If you are expecting this plugin to do more or grow in the future, please do not use it.

### Where is the tracking code inserted?

[](#where-is-the-tracking-code-inserted)

The tracking code is inserted into the `` section.

### Will this plugin slow down my website?

[](#will-this-plugin-slow-down-my-website)

No. This plugin is intentionally lightweight. All it does is register a settings field, saves to the database, and then inserts the tracking code. Nothing more.

### I found a bug. How do I report it?
