Google Analytics script in wp_head
3 replies · Started by Ivan on December 4, 2020
Hi,
In En Appearance -> Elements -> Legacy Hooks -> wp_head
Would it be okay to paste the Google Analytics code?
I say this because there is the meta data that is html and the Google Analytics code is a script
If I paste it there, the whole web will take it, right?
thanks,
<head>

Hi,
To clarify: You're trying to hook your google analytics code to your wp_head?
If so, then Appearance -> Elements -> Hook element is definitely a good way to add it in.

But be specific, you will only need this to add in to the Hook element:
// Codigo Google Analytics
<!– Global site tag (gtag.js) – Google Analytics –>
<script async src=”https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-0WFG04H5CP”></script>
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag(‘js’, new Date());
gtag(‘config’, ‘G-0WFG04H5CP’);
</script>
// FIN Codigo Google AnalyticsAnd perhaps you can add the meta tags as well if its not already automatically added in.
To shed more light on this matter:
You don't need to add <head>..</head> & <title>...</title> as it already exist and wp_head is basically the hook we use to place within the existing <head> tag of the page.
Title tag is automatically generated by WordPress when you created the page, the text string inside it is taken from the title you set when you created the page.
Hi Elvin, "You’re trying to hook your google analytics code to your wp_head?" -> yes i'm trying to connect google analytics code with wp_head.
So what I have done I understand that it is good?
I have deleted the <head> from wp_head.
Gracias,
Hi there,
yes that is good :)
