To track the entire forum for the purposes of Google Analytics (stats), is it best to insert the appropriate Google code into this section "Header Insert (common to all)"?
Also, when should the "Header Insert (when not displaying a topic)" be used instead? Is this just for admin pages? Or maybe I should copy the Google code into both places?
Header Insert For All Pages: meta name items such as: keywords/robots link to an additional css style file <script> items such as: ebay (epn-smart-tools.js), Google Analytics Global site tag (gtag/js), Google Custom Search Engine (cse.js), Google Adsense Page Level Ads
Header Insert When Not Displaying a Topic: meta name items such as: description
Default Header: This is your general website/forum header for when "Unique Header/Footer" is not enabled in your advanced per-forum "Custom Inserts" settings page. this is also a good place to include the code for manually inserting "adsbygoogle.js" <script> responsive banner ad items, just below your page header layout html.
Default Footer: This is your general website/forum footer for when "Unique Header/Footer" is not enabled in your advanced per-forum "Custom Inserts" settings page. this is also a good place to include the code for manually inserting "adsbygoogle.js" <script> responsive banner ad items, just above your page footer layout html.
