Hi there,

I can't get this to work. Using PHP 7.3.8

I had to ' ' line 7 so that it looks like this

$localFile  = '/path/to/your/webroot/analytics.js';

The part

// Check if directory exists, otherwise create it.
$uploadDir = /path/to/your/webroot/;
if (!file_exists($uploadDir)) {
	wp_mkdir_p($uploadDir);
}

I had to remove, did not work

And now I stuck here

// Try to create the file, if doesn't exist
	fopen($localFile, 'w');
}

It gives me the error

** failed to open stream: No such file or directory in**
