The Google Analytics tracking code has not been detected on your website's home page. For Analytics to function, you or your web administrator must add the code to each page of your website.
Any help please?
You need to embed the code from Google Analytics into the website itself.

The code has been added to all the pages.
can you see the code in the pages as they are delivered?
ie. do a view source on a page and see it in there?
Yes its in the source code.
You should have < script > tags around your code (can't remember if Google provide these)? Opening and closing.
As wwas says, view source on a page, make sure the code is there and live.
It does take about 24 hours to get any results back.
The script tags are in place, checked source code.

I understand there would be no results for a while, but there wont be any results if the website tracking is not detected, correct? 🙂

Just double checking the code goes inside the </head> tags, correct?
No, put it before the </body> tag. Except in a few cases.

Google states head tags?
2. Paste this code on your site
Copy the following code, then paste it onto every page you want to track immediately before the closing </head> tag.
Should be fine in your head tag. It used to be common practice to put it before the end of the body but Google will see it the same either way.
The actual code is in there? You haven't got XXXXXXXXXXX.
If you're not using frames or javascript that will interfere then before the </body> tag is fine.
Also from Google...
Implementing the code
Once you find the code snippet, copy and paste it into the bottom of your content, immediately before the </body> tag of each page you are planning to track
Either way, if Analytics can't find it then it's copy and pasted wrong, in the wrong place or the wrong code for the type of page.
That's how I remember it....putting it in by the body tag...
I just wanted to double check...I'm going square eyed 😕
