Have you done this under statistics, seo and code in step 1? If not, try that. There you can insert google universal analytics and you just have to mark out the "Include the robots.txt file. It works fine on my site.
But maybe it is something else you are looking for?

Sorry, I don't understand, why would my google stats suddenly drop off like that when I install v13 and why do I have to do this now when I have never had to do it before? All I want is for google to be able to crawl my site again as it clearly did before my crawl stats suddenly tanked towards the end of the chart data.
Hello Gary,
Does it reports any errors during the crawling?
Have you tried to contact the google webmaster support to ask if there are any issues?
Many thanks!

Hi Claudio,
No errors reported during crawling. Do you think it is coincidental then that this should happen at the time I updated with converted my project v13?

I'm afraid this issue is now impacting my ranking so I am going back to v12 as it looks like I wasted my money updating.
Helly Gary,
Since the pages have been updated it is normal these to be crawled to check for new content. It will not impact the ranking.
Many thanks!

I'm afraid it already has - dropped from page two to page three for my two major search terms and now google is only indexing half of my pages. Not good at all.
Hello Gary,
Did you try to submit the sitemap file again to see if then it is crawled correctly?
Many thanks!
