## Description

> **Google Analytics**
>  Google Analytics is one of the best tracking systems available.
> It allows you to analyze how you visitors found you, via which pages they enter
> your site, via which pages they leave your site and which pages they visit during
> their session.

#### SMNTCS Google Analytics

SMNTCS Google Analytics enables you to add the Google Analytics tracking code to
your website.

#### IP Anonymization

Since version 2.0 it’s possible to anonymize the IP of your visitor, which is required
by law in some countries.

## Screenshots

 * Paste you Google Analytics tracking code in the customizer

## Installation

 1. Upload `smntcs-google-analytics` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the `Plugins` menu in WordPress
 3. Go to https://www.google.com/analytics/, add a new site and copy the tracking code
 4. Go to `Appearance  Customize  Google Analytics` and paste your tracking code
 5. Anonymize visitors IP address if necessary

## FAQ

### Why am I not able to save the verification code?

This issue might be caused by a security plugin. If you use a security plugin, e.
g. Wordfence, then disable it so save your verification code and activate it once
you’re done.

I’m running this now on one of my websites and it’s so much more simple than adding
the code manually to the header / footer tag. Thanks for streamlining my day!
