Hi Armin,
Does Laytheme support Google Analytics or Clicky?
Where would I add the provided tracking script?
If tracking code can be added, does it track each page and URL? I know that this theme is a "single page" ,but I'm unsure of how that relates to tracking.
Thank you for your help!

Google Analytics or Clicky tracking

Hey! You can put your tracking code inside "Lay Options" -> "Custom CSS & HTML" -> "Custom <head> Content"
Yeah because its a single page application, google analytics doesn't track each page and url out of the box.
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/single-page-applications#overviewHowever, you can easily make this work by using autotracker
https://github.com/googleanalytics/autotrackIn your "Custom <head> Content" field you can put:
<script> window.ga=window.ga||function(){(ga.q=ga.q||[]).push(arguments)};ga.l=+new Date; ga('create', 'UA-XXXXX-Y', 'auto'); ga('require', 'autotrack'); ga('send', 'pageview'); </script> <script async src='https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js'></script> <script async src=' https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/autotrack/0.6.5/autotrack.js'></script>Of course you need to replace UA-XXXXX-Y with your UA id
I'm not sure about Clicky, I haven't used it yet.

Thank you Armin!
I will try to add the script for Google Analytics.I tried Clicky with Lay Theme and it works like a charm. The team at Clicky mentioned something about Lay uses History API so everything works well. Thanks again for your great theme and support.

Hey everybody,
So regarding google analytics and lay theme.
This should work:
In your "Custom <head> Content" field you can put:
<!-- Google Analytics --> <script> (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){ (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o), m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m) })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga'); ga('create', 'UA-XXXXX-Y', 'auto'); ga('send', 'pageview'); </script> <!-- End Google Analytics -->Replace XXXXX with your tracking number.
from: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjsand this for tracking pageviews:
<script> window.laytheme.on('newpageshown', function(){ ga('send', 'pageview', location.pathname); }); </script>no extra library like "autotrack" needed

Hi @arminunruh
This still doesn't seem to be working.Do we still need to load the autotracker.js ?

Hey!
Oh I thought it would work and didn't test it properly.
So I tested this and this works.
Replace UA-XXXXXX-X with your tracking ID:<script> window.ga=window.ga||function(){(ga.q=ga.q||[]).push(arguments)};ga.l=+new Date; ga('create', 'UA-XXXXXX-X', 'auto'); // Replace the following lines with the plugins you want to use. ga('require', 'eventTracker'); ga('require', 'outboundLinkTracker'); ga('require', 'urlChangeTracker'); // ... ga('send', 'pageview'); </script> <script async src="https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js"></script> <script async src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/autotrack/2.4.1/autotrack.js"></script> <script> window.laytheme.on('newpageshown', function(){ ga('set', 'page', location.pathname); ga('send', 'pageview'); }); </script>Then in your google analytics dashboard go to
"Behaviour" → "Website Content" → "All Pages"
And then make sure to select the date range that covers the current day:
then you'll see the pages that were visited today:
