either Google Now Google tag manager code is to be Google webmaster tools search console code it could be like a heat mapping code like if you’re looking at crazy egg or another kind of heat mapping tool like a jar or something like that as you know WordPress has a array of a bunch of different tools that you can plug into your website to make it become a digital marketing machine data-driven marketing machine so what did I do when this problem faced my client I found an alternative plug-in called insert headers and Footers this has more than 1 million activations it’s also tested up to WordPress version 5.5.3 so they’re relatively equal but there could be a potential plug-in conflict between head and footer scripts and starter and another plug-in on your website which could be causing you
to get this blank screen that my client was getting and showing that your head and footer code would not be in your source code meaning none of that tracking would be happening if this is the case for you I would put it to insert headers and Footers by WT beginner there a very reputable source and for my client it works perfectly as you can see here under the WordPress admin dashboard under settings and then insert headers and Footers I was able to go in and replicate the code the Google AdSense code header and footer code that I needed is now under the source code
so again just talking about an alternative plug into head and Twitter scripts and certain hope that this helps you if you run into this problem with head and foot her scripts inserted by SpaceX chin I would put it over to insert headers and Footers does the exact same thing there might not be a conflict with it on your website helping you find an alternative plug-in is one thing that the WordPress show can continue to do thank you so much for watching for more information you can check me out at data-driven. Design or the WordPress and if you’d like to do business with me you can email me directly yet Paul at data-driven. Design This is another episode of the WordPress show thanks and have a great day
just like the rest of the settings on the page settings tab any code or script entered into he’s with these fields will be applied to the respective page only any code placed in the head of code section will be faced with in the head tag
any code place in the footer code section will be placed right before the closing body tag
if you want to add code at a side wide level click on the name of your projects in the webpage list
enter your code into the appropriate head and photo code boxes in the head for the code section
adding code to your site is for more advanced website developers usually you will not need to add code to your site as every word generally has everything you need built into it so you do not need to know how to code
or if you ever need to come back to it you can go down to settings insert headers and Footers to configure now from here you’ll have to decide where the software that you’re installing it usually a JavaScript where they’re asking you to put it if they’re wanting you to put in the header then you can put it up here if they want to if they want you to put it just before the body closing then that goes down here so let me quickly show you how you can do that for instance if you want to install Pinterest pins on your site then you have to have this bit of script installed throughout your website so I’m just going to grab this and this is just for an example if you really need to activate Pinterest on your site than you can watch our video on how to do that here so I’m going to grab this Petticoat you see that it’s asking us to do it just before the closing body tag so that means I want to put it in my Footers area I’m going to highlight this and copy
and then we’ll head back over but in these groups in the Footers right click and paste that and now that that’s pasted now it’s available on all of my sight the other two methods require changing out your theme and so it’s a little bit difficult to maintain for instance if you’re doing it in the theme you’ll have to go into header and footer and actually change those pieces of code some other themes provide you with an area that you can fill out but the problem with these two methods is if you ever change out your theme then this Petticoat is no longer on your site and might break whatever it is that you’re trying to use and that is why we recommend using the insert headers and Footers which is a very simple and easy to use plug in that won’t back down your sight just a super easy way to add header and footer code into your WordPress website and thanks for watching
