Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

Look in the Add HTML/CSS Inserts section of the theme options

If I'm using Atahualpa 3.6.4 which doesn't have the updated instructions for adding the google asynchronous snippet but I want to add it to it would I insert it into the header HTML insert? Would that make the code end up right before the </header> tag?

Well I put it into the header insert and it pretty much shows up right in the middle with a lot stuff between it and the </head>.

Now what difference was made in the new version of Atahualpa in regards to the google analytics insert? With the new one was there any coding changes or did it just say to put the code in the header?

There WAS a change to the wording of where it should go as the HTML Inserts: Header is the suggested place. However it COULD go in HTML Inserts: Body Bottom as used to be indicated.

In the theme options I put it in html/css inserts > html inserts: header > in the box underneath.

It's in the header but it's not right before </head>, there is quite a bit more code between it and the end of the header.

3.6.4 puts the contents of 'HTML Inserts: Header' near the top of the <head>
3.7.3 puts the contents of 'HTML Inserts: Header' just bfore teh </head>
that is in a vanalla install, it is possible that other plugins could cause it to shift.

So to be able to put it right before </head> I would need a plugin or edit the theme files?


Anyone know the downsides of having the code too high up?

I never thought about it.
  • I put the code in
  • Analytics works
  • I'm happy

Well it works and we made some changes to the theme to get it to look the way we wanted so we don't really want to have to update just because of google analytics. Is there any plugins for analytics that put it where it's supposed to be?
