I just set up and got code for GoogleTag Manager I want to add to my "header.php". It is suggested the code be pasted just after <body> and note in screenshot that the <body> has code within it....in essence: <body> and wonder if there is any ppossibilty of adding the code in the "header.php" elsewhere.....if so, please suggest. Thanks.....

  • Hi Nabaleka! I discovered I did not have to use a plugin. I studied a tutorial I found and learned it could be added directly between:

    <body <?php body_class( $class) ; ?>> <div id= ETC></div
  • I think you should put it in footer before </body> for good performance
  • ZinZin, thanks. It is performing OK because Chrome offers an extension called Google Tag Assistant you install in your browser....when all tag performances pop up as green arrows, the program is working properly on your site which is what Isee now....thank you greatly!
  • toivo is your problem solved?
