1] Adding Google Analytics Tracking Code in WordPress Themes:

And paste the code as shown in the image given below.
2] Adding Google Analytics Tracking Code in WordPress through the CPanel: This method is useful if your security plug-in has blocked access to the Theme Editor. In such cases you can easily add the Tracking Code by following the simple steps given below:
Go to CPanel - File Manager – public_html – wp-content – Themes - Twenty Twenty One – header.php
Paste the Tracking Code in the same manner as shown in the first method. In both cases do not forget to back up your Theme.
Note: In case you manually update your WordPress Themes you will most likely lose the Tracking Code, so save it before manually updating your Themes.
Go to Appearance – Editor - header.php
And paste the code as shown in the image given below.
