[dennis800121]

Help!!

I would love to have a visit counter on my page. I have been using googles analytics but i dont like it.
I found statcounters counter and got the code that i want to put in the footer.php but the code is in HTML and not PHP.
How do i solve this? I just want a counter on the bottom on my page

The code i got from statcounter is this:

#####################################################
<!-- Start of StatCounter Code for WordPress (either .com or .org) -->
<script type="text/javascript">
var sc_project=10544563;
var sc_invisible=0;
var sc_security="b635080d";
var scJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
"https://secure." : "http://www.");
document.write("<sc"+"ript type='text/javascript' src='" + scJsHost+
"statcounter.com/counter/counter.js'></"+"script>");
</script>
<noscript><div class="statcounter"><a title="shopify analytics ecommerce
tracking" href="http://statcounter.com/shopify/" target="_blank"><img
class="statcounter" src="http://c.statcounter.com/10544563/0/b635080d/0/"
alt="shopify analytics ecommerce tracking"></a></div></noscript>
<!-- End of StatCounter Code for WordPress (either .com or .org) -->

Just paste it  at the end, without the ####, of course.

I tried it in my template footer and the code works.

It worked. I was afraid it would brake my site. But the counter doesnt show in the footer.

How did it work if the counter didn't show in the footer?

It should be inserted before

	    </td>
	</tr>
</table>

At the end of the footer.php. That's where it is on my template8 site.

Thank you both! It works now!!

​In the Template12 footer.php, you need to add the StatCounter code immediately after the following:

							<?php
								$flags['basicfooter'] = true;
								echo tng_footer($flags);
							?>

I have used StatCounter on different sites in the past. I would like to add it to my tng site, template 21. I've followed the suggestions in this thread, but the counter doesn't seem to work. I've added it to both the footer.php that comes with the basic install and the footer.php in the template folder. (Not quite sure yet which one is the one that is active.🙂) So I must be missing something or doing something wrong.

Help, please.

TIA

On further testing, I have found it does count (unless the browser blocks the tracker) but it isn't visible. I'm okay with it not being visible, but I will continue to work on it.
