I would like to enter these codes in RW 7.5.6:

```
	<meta name="google-site-verification" content="DODgPVgEEZebQk-uF-OkhMwKazA1yfbJ703oND_lo2k" />

<!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-101871749-4"></script>
<script>
  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
  gtag('js', new Date());

  gtag('config', 'UA-101871749-4');
</script>

<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="./favicon.ico">

```

* * *

```
Where can I paste the codes?
1) In Inspector?
2) In Settings -> Code?

What is the difference?
Thanks,

```

Inspector is for that page only.

Site _settings_ will be for every page.

Thanks @teefers,  
but Site Settings alerts me regarding to the PATH of links (./, …/).  
In my site all the pages are in a separate directory.

Why aren’t you just using the built-in Favicon (icon) in RapidWeaver?

Just Drag and drop and it does the work for you.

If I use the the Built-It favicon system of RW, then I have favicon only for Homepage 🤔

I just solved the favicon issue:

Favicon Generator ([https://realfavicongenerator.net/](https://realfavicongenerator.net/)) is very powerful and customisable; it creates all the icon suitable: favicon, pinned icon, iOS webclip, Android Chrome icon, Windows metro, classic desktop browsers icon, with a preview interface. It is very easy to use. It export files for the root dir of the domain and a code that must be pasted in HEAD section on the site. It also can check the icons of a site. It works perfectly.

Now my question is: can I paste Google codes in **Settings → Code → Head (or Body…)**?
