Analytics not showing real stats PS 1.6.1.0

[Jurist]

Hello,

 

I've recently installed latest version of google analytics module in our prestashop, set up an account, inserted UA-6XXXX46X-X (is that correct or should I put there only numbers, without UA- ?) into the module settings and I am not able to track anything in Google Analytics account. 

 

There are 5 visits for 7 days in total but this is not real for sure as we have about 5 orders every day and 80 visits from AdWords daily. I've set up everything as recommended in AdWords account but still can't see anything there.

 

Also in prestashop back office I see few people doing something on our website but in Analytics live sessions there is nothing.

 

Is there any guide for analytics in prestashop? I didn't find analytics module in prestashop useful at all at the moment.

 

Kind regards.

The PrestaShop back office stats are not the best. PrestaShop was never made for stats really, it takes a lot of resources to power them. I would look into either GA or Piwik for stats.

I know and agree about prestashop back office stats, I was talking about back office Google Analytics module. I set up everything ok and visitors count is surely different from real. I will try editiing header.tpl and removing analytics module.

 

Thanks for your help, will give feedback after some times if it worked.

Regards.

 

Edit: I've tried to put analytics code into the header.tpl file and it works. I see live stats and real visitors count. Many thanks zangxuma.
