    Hi,
    I love this theme and it’s flexibility!
    However, I have added google analytics code to the website, and followed the instructions in the theme settings (and on the support forums here) to add the code to the misc javascript section. The code appears in the html, but it is not being detected by google.

    The code is preceded by a javascript var that I didn’t add “var cryout_global_content_width = 900;”
    Could this be affecting my analytics code?

    Also, at the top of the <head> tag, there is also google analytics code added, is this part of the theme (I didn’t add it, and haven’t installed any plugins). This code is always generated
    “<script type=”text/javascript”>
    var _gaq = _gaq || [];
    _gaq.push([‘_setAccount’, ”], [‘_trackPageview’]);
    (function() {
    var ga = document.createElement(‘script’); ga.type = ‘text/javascript’; ga.async = true;
    ga.src = (‘https:’ == document.location.protocol ? ‘https://ssl&#8217; : ‘http://www&#8217;) + ‘.google-analytics.com/ga.js’;
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName(‘script’)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
    })();
    </script>”

    Hi,

    I’m having the same problem as Ian — I added the Google Analytics code to each page of the site (Parabola) but the site is not recognized by GA (a GA account was properly set up first). So then I also added the code to the header.php right before the last </head> but still not recognized by GA.

    Any help you can provide is appreciated!

    Are you expecting instant results? If so, that’s not gonna happen. It takes at least 24 hours for everything to take effect.

    When pasting custom JS, make sure to not include the opening/closing <script> tags.
