In CE4 there was an option to paste in the tracking code when setting up a page. I have rooted around but possibly I'm looking in the wrong places for the same feature in pages for Backlight?
Any pointers as to where to paste the GA code snippet?

Ignore that request. I've just cleaned my glasses!

Well ignore the ID as I saw where to post that but where does the code go?

the code gets added automatically to the page. You can see it in a page's source code right before the end of the </head> tag.

Hmm. It's showing on my pages. You added your ID to the Google Analytics Web Property ID field?

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://backlight-rb-test.barbeephoto.com/backlight/custom/css/custom.css" />	<!-- Google Analytics -->

Yes Rod, just that field as I don't use Webmaster Tools. copied from the GA site and pasted it in.

rod barbee · 2016-06-14 03:35:02

And just to be clear, you put ONLY the ID in that field?

tomowensphoto · 2016-06-14 04:16:20

Yes Rod,

Hi Rod,
I have finally got this to work. What I had done first time around was strip the code in GA and paste it into the field in BL.
I deleted the entry in BL and saved the change.
I then typed in the code and saved it then cleared the cache and hey presto the script appeared.
The moral of the story appears to be type in the code.
