Head & Footer Code

Opis

Head & Footer Code plugin helps you add custom code snippets (JavaScript, CSS, or HTML) to the page even if you are not a programmer. It could be within the <head> (site verification code for various services, custom styles, meta or Webfont link), right after opening <body> (pixel tracking, analytics or heatmap code) or just before closing </body> tag.

Go to ToolsHead & Footer Code in WordPress Dashboard. Insert custom code to HEAD, BODY or FOOTER section (depending on what you have to do).

All magic is done by hooking to WordPress hooks wp_head, wp_footer and wp_body_open.

Homepage in Blog Posts mode

If your WordPress shows the latest blog posts on the homepage, you can also add specific code only for the homepage on ToolsHead & Footer Code (there will be section Head, body and footer code on Homepage in Blog Posts mode)

Article specific code

To insert custom code specific for individual article (post, page or custom post type), use article-specific Metabox while editing post/page/custom post type (check out Screenshots). There choose if that specific code appends to site-wide code defined on ToolsHead & Footer Code, or to replace it.

Category specific code

You can also define a Category specific code on each individual category.

Other taxonomies (tag and custom taxonomy) do not have available their specific code, but for them a Global code is used instead.

Najczęściej zadawane pytania

On Network WordPress an Administrator/Editor/Author user getting code validation hint error `Tag is not allowed.`

It’s not a bug, it’s a security measure by WordPress Core.

If you wish to remove hinting errors for Administrator role, make sure you allow unfiltered_html capability for that role (Google is your friend).

Is supported PHP code in code snippets?

As it’s a security risk, the Head & Footer Code does not process PHP code if entered into any plugin field (global or article specific).

Any content added to HFC fields is printed on the front-end as is.

I entered code to BODY section, but nothing outputs on front-end

This feature is implemented since WordPress version 5.2 and requires theme compatibility.

To make sure if theme you use supports wp_body_open hook, open in code editor header.php file from theme you use, and check if right after opening <BODY> tag there is following code (if it does not exists, add it or ask some developer to do that for you):

if ( function_exists( 'wp_body_open' ) ) {
    wp_body_open();
}

Where do I report security bugs found in this plugin?

Please report security bugs found in the source code of the Head & Footer Code plugin through the Patchstack Vulnerability Disclosure Program. The Patchstack team will assist you with verification, CVE assignment, and notify the developers of this plugin.

3 years ago I asked the plugin developer Aleksandar to consider a feature to allow shortcode usage in the head. He not only implemented the feature, it was added way faster than anyone could ever expect 👍 and provided guidance to avoid potential issues. Thank you very much for this support and addition. Also, I’m extremely sorry for not replying to the support thread and not being able to provide testing for the feature.

Just wanted to let you know that Head & Footer Code Plugin works great. Its nice to have that available to add custom css styling to an individual page rather than going to the main style sheet. Makes it easier to find something specific applicable to a page rather than looking through a large style sheet. Nice work!

Apparently from the post that did not appear there was a strange space within the code. On the other pages it is found within the code, only the code disappears from the plugin drawer, I thought the code stayed written there. They can close as solved. Sorry for the inconvenience! :EITHER—–Quite a strange thing has happened, yesterday I posted the specific code to some of the blog posts adding some schema <script> code to them. I checked them with the Schema check and published them and the code was there; but today it is not there. For some reason it stopped loading; and other pages that put similar code on them, it simply disappeared. Could it have something to do with cache issues? Or I do not know? I’m sad, I thought it would work and I’ve been looking for something similar for a long time 🙁

This plugin really saves you time and hassle if you need to add some code to your theme. And even better – you can change themes and the codes will stay. There was a small issue with output logic, but Aleksandar was really helpful and updated the plugin swiftly, which meant that I don’t have to waste my time on finding alternative plugin for my websites and transferring codes – so this deserves a 5*
