  Hi there,
  I’m trying to add google analytics to my ‘Button 2’ theme website (www.lilyspecialevents.co.uk) without adding a plug in.

  Everything I’ve read and looked at says to add it to the header, however after hours of trying to do this, I cannot find anything referring to a header except a header image.

  Please help.
  Thank you in advance.

  Hi Lily!

  To add Google Analytics to your website you need to be on the WordPress.com Business plan. If you do have the Business Plan you can use the following article for steps to add Google Analytics, https://en.support.wordpress.com/google-analytics/.

  For reasons why you can’t add the Analytics code yourself, here is an article explaining what you can an cannot do with code on WordPress.com, https://en.support.wordpress.com/code/

  I hope this helps!
