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 <head> of your website. To insert your tracking ID, navigate to Settings > General and then scroll to the bottom of the page.

Composer

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

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';
        return $tracking_id;
    }
);

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' );
