I use piwik analytics to track the visitors to my website. I recently created a blog on WordPress and wanted to added the same tracking code that I use on the plain HTML webpage. How can I added the tracking script in the php in order to track my blog visitors?

thanks!

This plugin helps to include tracking-codes (not only for Piwik, but also Google Analytics etc). – user31458 Apr 13 at 20:08

Add the tracking code to one of your theme files, most likely footer.php.

The easiest way to do this is to go to your admin panel and go to Appearance > Editor, and on the right side, find the entry for Footer (footer.php), and then insert the code right before the closing </body> tag. Update the file by clicking the button below the text box, and you should be good!

Thank you, I was adding it to my templates but the footer worked much better! (I'd give you an upvote but alas not enough rep!) – Nick Aug 15 '11 at 12:56
No problem, glad it worked! – Joshua Aug 16 '11 at 1:04

+1, but an answer should be more than a link. Please read a bit in the FAQ to get a better feeling how this site works. Thanks. – kaiser Oct 8 '12 at 8:37

The external website is about installing Piwik via Cpanel ... so most of the article is not related to the original question. @wpboss ... its ok to answer a question and reference an article on your own website, but don't over do the linkbaiting / SEO – Damien Oct 8 '12 at 8:53
