   Although this is the way to add analytics without a plugin, it’s not advised to do so, as any theme update will overwrite your custom edits to the theme files. A plugin would not have your analytics lost just because the theme is updated, so no need remembering to re-add them manually, and is therefore the recommended approach.

   It can certainly be done this way, but it is FAR from ideal. WordPress provides a lot of tools in the way of enqueueing Javascript, and making sure that everything remains as compartmentalized as possible. The way this SHOULD be done might look a little more complicated, but it ensures that everything follows the standard order of operations, as well as taking any potential naming conflicts into consideration.

   Since this is done on the server-side, more advanced users can enqueue their Javascript files on an as-needed basis rather than unnecessarily loading external assets on pages that don’t require them.

   Add the Google Analytics code into its own Javascript file and place it on your server alongside the rest of your Javascript files (usually a directory in your theme called “scripts” or “js”). Then in functions.php, add the following:

   add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘my_theme_add_scripts’ );
   function my_theme_add_scripts(){
   wp_register_script(‘google-analytics’, get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/scripts/google_analytics.js’);
   wp_enqueue_script( ‘google-analytics’ );
   }

   This will ensure that your Javascript files are added appropriately. The same logic works for enqueueing stylesheets as well.

   Thanks Matt Maiorano and Raj for your insights.
   Does using Matt’s method prevents me from adding any code before the closing tag in my theme’s php files? Or do I still need to add something on these files ?
   (My theme is also “Iconic One Theme”)

   Thanks in advance for your help.
