I have a Wordpress multisite subfolder instance that I would like to track via Google Analytics.
I guess optimally this would be a plugin which I could track each site in two places
- The Main Tracking Code which totals all traffic from the Multisite instance
- The Individual Site tracking code to see how each site specifically is doing.
I think this plugin would have worked for me if I had a subdomain multisite instance:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-analytics-multisite-async/installation/
I know I can manually place the dual tracking code (http://www.markinns.com/articles/full/adding_two_google_analytics_accounts_to_one_page) but that would involve editing a theme and I have multiple sites using TwentyEleven template. I don't think I can edit the theme and not have it wreak havoc on the rest of the sites using TwentyEleven.
So has anyone done this? Is there a a technique I'm missing? Is there a plugin available to do this in Multisite Subfolder installations? Is there a way to manually insert GA codes into themes which are used by multiple sites?
Any insight is appreciated.
