I'm trying to setup analytics for localhost and for some reason it doesn't work, I saw in console that something is sent to google but when I open analytics page there is nothing. Also, I have tried to replace tracing id with tracking id for production and still nothing.

Also, what can be interesting, what I currently have on analytics is wordpress pages and now I'm trying to put analytics in angular app which is running from wordpress. Any suggestions? Thanks.

There is no difference in setting up analytics for an "in production" site and setting it up for a localhost, just create a tracking ID and embed the JavaScript. Why are you thinking it doesn't work? - Adam
Because nothing is refreshed on analytics. Maybe they need some time to refresh data. :/ - Grissom
It does take time, check the "real time" data, it may take a minute, but if you have an active session it will show up. - Adam

Set Cookiedomain to "none" (as per GA documentation).

ga('create', 'UA-XXXX-Y', {
  'cookieDomain': 'none'
});
