Google Analytics Code In Helix Ultimate
Francois Barnard
Hi
I need to activate Google Analytics on a website. That requires a Google Tag (gtag.js) script to be pasted immediately after the [head] element.
Helix Ultimate allows me to enter custom code in the following areas:
- Before [head]
- After [body]
- Before [body]
- Custom CSS
- Custom Java Script
How do I get the code entered immediately after the [head] element? I tried no 3 above but it went below a lot of other code and had no effect on the website.
Regards,
Francois

Accepted AnswerHi Francois,
If you have Helix Ultimate installed as default template - all you have to do is paste short tracking ID (not html code!!) in Advanced tab > Analytics

Accepted AnswerIf your template do NOT have such a field, you have still two options:
- Use field Before < / head > (this is also correct for GA)
- Or download & install free Phoca Site plugin (phoca.cz)
That's all I can say.

Accepted AnswerIn general it should work, for Google Analitics > choose "Universal Analitics"
You can always use method (2) from my list.
