How to Use Crazy Egg With Thesis

Crazy Egg is a tool that enables heat mapping on your website, which means that you can see which areas of your website are hot. Crazy Egg gauges user behavior and activity on your site by recording clicks and creating a heat map for you. If you have the Thesis theme framework installed on your WordPress site, you may have noticed that adding scripts and code is not as simple as tweaking the footer file in the theme editor. Fortunately, you can still add the Crazy Egg code onto your site running Thesis.

Instructions

1. Log into your site that is currently running the Thesis theme, if you have not already done so. This takes you to the WordPress dashboard of the site.

2. Click on "Thesis Options" on the sidebar to view the menu options. Depending on how you have your WordPress dashboard set up, you may already have the menu options visible and not need to click on it. From the main "Thesis Options" menu, click on "Thesis Options" on the submenu.

3. Look under the "Stats Software and Scripts" heading on your screen for "Footer Scripts." Once you see it, click on the "+" sign by it, which reveals the options for footer scripts.

4. Log into your account on the Crazy Egg website, if you are not already logged in. Click on the "What's My Code?" link to get the code for tracking.

5. Highlight the code with your mouse and copy it by right-clicking and selecting "copy."

6. Paste the code into the "Footer Scripts" box on your website by right-clicking in the box and selecting "Paste."

7. Save your new settings by clicking on "Save" on your "Thesis Options" pages. Crazy Egg is now active on your site running Thesis.
