The famous plugin for wordpress to use google analytics was "Ultimate Google Analytics".

However,"Ultimate Google Analytics" is not updated for a long time.So I found a new plugin "Google Analyticator".

Google Analyticator Compatible with the Latest WordPress

Initial setting of the installation after activation

Set from [Dashboard > Settings > Google Analytics].
At first, the screen is displayed, such as the image below.


web_Google_Analyticator

web_Google_Analyticator

If you want to see the analysis results in the dashboard

By the way, for me, how to open and save to browser bookmarks the URL of the Google Analytics is easy to use.
So, this part was skipping, and go to "Settings of Google Analyticator".

If you do not need to see the analysis results in the dashboard

Select at the bottom of the page to "Continue Without Authentication".
