Question

I am currently setting up a wordpress site and am trying to add Google Analytics on the site.

To add the the analytics I copied and pasted the code into footer.php. The code appears on all the pages now, but when I look at my Google account no visitors have been registered.

I immediately visited the site via my mobile and viewed the live update tab, my visit was not registered. I also visited a few hours later without success.

Can anyone advise what I am missing/have done wrong?

I have tried to use the plugin which you can download too but once again I don’t get any information on my account

See here: where to put google analytics code

Try putting the code before the closing </head> tag.
