Wrapping Up
Adding Google Analytics is easy to do with the Kadence Pro Addons which comes with multiple features enabled.
Just install the plugin and enable all the required features like Header/Footer Scripts, Hooked Elements, etc.
Which process are you going to try?
Are you going with the Header/Footer scripts method?
I find the first method easier but I have implemented various scripts/code via the Hooked Elements Module too.
Let me know in the comment section below.
This wording creates a terribly confusing article… It should be made WAY more clear that you only need to do ONE of these things… not both. But the instructions make it sound like you need to do both (aka step 1 step 2… not method 1 method 2….)
Hi Ryan,
What’s confusing here?
I have mentioned somewhere in the article that you should only implement one method if you read properly.
Thanks
