Once the Tracking ID is input the Google Analytics code is added automatically with your Tracking ID. Simple Google Analytics Tracking does not track Editors and Administrators by default to prevent extra page views from showing up in your reports. _Editors and Administrators can be allowed through the `sgat\_output\_ga\_code` filter._ #### Filters ``` sgat_output_ga_code: used to override the default user tracking setting. ``` Example Usage: ``` add_filter( 'sgat_output_ga_code', 'sgat_override_user_settings' ); function sgat_override_user_settings() { return true; } sgat_tracking_id: used to add the Tracking ID programmatically. ``` Example Usage: ``` add_filter( 'sgat_tracking_id', 'sgat_custom_ga_tracking_id' ); function sgat_custom_ga_tracking_id( $tracking_id ) { $tracking_id = 'UA-123456-7'; return $tracking_id; } sgat_tracker_create_fields : Used to modify the information when creating the Google Analytics tracker. ``` Example Usage: ``` add_filter( 'sgat_tracker_create_fields', 'sgat_custom_tracker_create_fields' ); function sgat_custom_tracker_create_fields( $fields ) { $fields['siteSpeedSampleRate'] = 50; return $fields; } sgat_after_tracker : Used to add additional Google Analytics calls after the main tracker output. ``` Example Usage: ``` add_action( 'sgat_after_tracker', 'sgat_after_tracker_functionality’ ); function sgat_after_tracker_functionality() { echo "ga('send', 'event', 'MyCategory', 'MyAction', 'MyLabel', 50);"; } ``` ## Screenshots * [[ * Simple Google Analytics Tracking Admin screen ## FAQ Installation Instructions 1.

This does the job perfectly, and without tracking my own visits. Thank you! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e265781b9a31d588bfd23bdc8bb3fd5925bfcba2c4eafd86cdb520e2dc23c206? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Finally something simple](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/finally-something-simple/)󠁿 [tommcgee](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tommcgee/) July 11, 2017 As Google continues to change the Analytics product, everyone’s documentation and interfaces become immediately obsolete. After the last hour of “open settings and click on xxxxxxxx” but xxxxxxxx isn’t there anymore, grey screens and blank screens, I found this one. If you don’t need the hassle of API authentications and secret codes and whatever, but just want to paste in your tracking code already dammit, this is for you. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7a1c80779cd584f2a31d9966d32b1b0230406f03e378e199656fd1f69321b2b1? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Does everything it say it does, no more, no less, perfect.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-everything-it-say-it-does-no-more-no-less-perfect/)󠁿 [tbcorr](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tbcorr/) June 12, 2017 Great plugin.
