✂️

You might not need this plugin. Its core job is small enough to live in your theme's functions.php.

Show the snippet

// Add your scripts/code to wp_head (header)
add_action( 'wp_head', function () {
    ?>
    <!-- paste header code here, e.g. Google Analytics -->
    <?php
} );

// Add your scripts/code just after <body> opens
add_action( 'wp_body_open', function () {
    ?>
    <!-- paste body code here, e.g. GTM noscript -->
    <?php
} );

// Add your scripts/code to wp_footer (footer)
add_action( 'wp_footer', function () {
    ?>
    <!-- paste footer code here, e.g. Facebook Pixel -->
    <?php
} );

Keep in mind:The plugin provides a settings UI so non-developers can paste code without touching files; the snippet requires direct file editing instead.
