If you are using
Yoast's Google Analytics for WordPress plugin
and
a Thematic theme with a child theme, Yoast's plugin might warn that the plugin might not work.
Yoast advises to include wp_footer() in footer.php.
Actually that is not necessary as the Thematic theme files already include it.
It is a false warning and the plugin will work, despite the warning.
Here is a screenshot from the source code of this website with the plugin activated.
Why might you want to use the plugin instead of just putting the Google Analytics code in a text widget ?
Well, text widget code disappears when you upgrade a theme.
With a plugin, you won't have to retype the Google Analytics code.

Yeah I need to do that check differently, it’s a bit brutal the way it’s called now. Will fix that soon.
