[Resolved] Setting up Google Tag Manager Data Layer in GeneratePress

[pairfum]

Dear Support Forum,

We have implemented Google Tag Manger using this excellent guide and it works very well:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/implement-google-tag-manager/

We would now like to add ‘Data Layers’ in Google Tag Manager and we are following this guide:
https://juliencoquet.com/en/2014/01/22/data-layer-google-tag-manager-for-wordpress/

Our question is: How do we implement it in GeneratePress?

We presume by creating a new Hook Element with the following settings:

– Content > this is where we paste the code from the guide

– Settings > Hook > ??? -> which hook is best ? According to the link, it should go should go in the WordPress header of the child theme but before Google Tag Manager container snippet

– Settings > Priority > ??? -> should the priority be zero?

– Display Rule > Location > Entire Site

– any other settings, e.g. ‘execute php’ ?

Many thanks for your help on this.

Kind regards,

Hi there,

Looks like it should go in wp_head as well.

Since it needs to go before GTM, you can set the GTM code to priority 5 and this one to priority 2.

Setting it to the entire site should be good and also execute PHP.

Let me know 🙂

Hi Leo,

Many thanks for your quick response & advice.

Your tip about setting the priority is very good:
– 2 for the Data Layer hook, and
– 5 for the main GTM container.

I had been wondering how to fire it before the main GTM container in wp_head.

‘Entire site’ has been set and ‘execute php’ ticked.

Again, many thanks for your help.

Kind regards,
