Analytics causes website to crash

Question

Okay so the website I webmaster for http://www.detroitdungeon.com has been having some analytic issues as of lately. I have the google analytics plugin installed and it was working fine for quite sometime. All of a sudden the plugin caused IE users to crash after the page had loaded. So instead of using the plug in I decided to use the code given to me by google and I placed it in the footer of the website. Doing this caused the webpage to crash with all browsers. after the code has been placed in the footer the source code reads

<b>Parse error</b>: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in <b>/home/content/36/5385336/html/detroitdungeon/wp-content/themes/delighted_black2/footer.php</b> on line <b>5</b>

Here is footer.php

<?php 

include('footer_content.php');$delight_mainfont = get_option('delight_mainfont');echo '<div id="footcopy"><span class="left"><a href="http://zenverse.net/delighted-black-wordpress-theme/">Delighted Black</a> designed by <a href="http://yourchristianspace.com">Christian Myspace</a> & <a href="http://www.digitaldesignzmedia.com">Designed By: Digital Designz Media Group</a></span><span class="right">In conjunction with <a href="http://pingler.com">Ping Services</a>   <span style="font-family:tahoma;">|</span>   <a href="http://frenchteacherjobs.com">French Teacher Jobs</a>   <span style="font-family:tahoma;">|</span>   <a href="http://mathsteacherjobs.com">Maths Teacher Jobs</a> </span>
<div class="clear"></div></div></div>

Answer 2

I had the same problem recently with our website, so I did the following.

1. Went to our Control Panel and launched (clicked on hosting)
2. Clicked the arrow for the drop down menu on the Files & FTP tab
3. Clicked File Manager
4. Clicked on the domain name (do not click the file or + beside your domain name) left side of the directory
5. Clicked on the name wp-content
6. Clicked plugins
7. Clicked box beside google-analytics-for-wordpress
8. Then I clicked rename at the top to rename folder
9. Renamed folder to google-analytics-for-wordpress1 (just added 1 at the end).
10. Went back to my site www.henpublishing.com and hit refresh (My site worked)
11. Returned to the google-analytics-for-wordpress folder.
12. Clicked rename
13. Deleted the 1 at the end (google-analytics-for-wordpress without the 1 at the end)
14. Went back to my site www.henpublishing.com and it worked with google analytics intact
15. It may crash again, not sure, but it is working for now. Perhaps, Google or WordPress will fix the problem soon. Hope this helps.
