I don’t understand the Google Analytics settings.

If I put the code that Google gives m in the ‘ga universal tracking code’, do I need to fill in the ‘ga tracking code’ and ‘ga domain name’ as well?

Put the same code in `ga tracking code`, in `ga domain name` put your domain ([yoursite.com](http://yoursite.com)) without www or http

I put the UA-xxxxxxx-x (mine is with numbers of course) code in both the ga tracking code, ga universal tracking code and put my domain name in the ga domain name, but I can’t see any visits in the real-time view.

I tried refreshing the page and browsing through various topics but it still shows 0.

The “ga tracking code” only does something if the “ga universal tracking code” is empty, so you can just remove that.

If I wanted to use two GA trackers, is there a recommended way to do that? I have been using the GA field in settings, but want to make sure that the second one doesn’t cause any issues.
