<p>Simple Google Analytics Tracking allows you to add Google Analytics to your WordPress site with only the Tracking ID. Once the Tracking ID is input the Google Analytics code is added automatically with your Tracking ID.</p>
<p>Simple Google Analytics Tracking does not track Editors and Administrators by default to prevent extra page views from showing up in your reports.<br />
<em>Editors and Administrators can be allowed through the <code>sgat_output_ga_code</code> filter.</em></p>
<h4>Filters</h4>
<pre><code>sgat_output_ga_code: used to override the default user tracking setting.
</code></pre>
<p>Example Usage:</p>
<pre><code>add_filter( 'sgat_output_ga_code', 'sgat_override_user_settings' );
function sgat_override_user_settings() {
  return true;
}

</code></pre>
<p>Example Usage:</p>
<pre><code>add_filter( 'sgat_tracking_id', 'sgat_custom_ga_tracking_id' );
function sgat_custom_ga_tracking_id( $tracking_id ) {
  $tracking_id = 'UA-123456-7';
  return $tracking_id;
}

</code></pre>
<p>Example Usage:</p>
<pre><code>add_filter( 'sgat_tracker_create_fields', 'sgat_custom_tracker_create_fields' );
function sgat_custom_tracker_create_fields( $fields ) {
  $fields['siteSpeedSampleRate'] = 50;
  return $fields;
}

Slim, fast, simple: Thats what I wanted. No beels and whistles.

This is how it should be

I switched to Simple Google Analytics Tracking a few months ago because I wanted--well, I wanted simple tracking, without dashboards in my admin and a lot of settings. This does the job perfectly, and without tracking my own visits. Thank you!

Simple, just how I wanted it.
