Wurden Sie schon einmal gebeten, einige Codeschnipsel in den <header>- oder <footer>-Abschnitt Ihrer WordPress-Website einzufügen?
Oft werden Sie aufgefordert, Kopf- und Fußzeilencode in WordPress hinzuzufügen, wenn Sie versuchen, sich in Webdienste wie Google Analytics, Google Search Console, Facebook Pixel und andere zu integrieren.
Vielleicht stoßen Sie auch auf WordPress-Tutorials, in denen Sie aufgefordert werden, benutzerdefinierten CSS- oder JavaScript-Code in Ihre WordPress-Kopf- oder Fußzeile einzufügen.
Standardmäßig bietet WordPress keine Option zum Einfügen von Code in die Kopf- und Fußzeile Ihrer Website. Glücklicherweise gibt es eine einfache Lösung für Anfänger.
In diesem Artikel zeigen wir Ihnen, wie Sie einfach Kopf- und Fußzeilencode in WordPress hinzufügen können. Ziel ist es, den Code sicher hinzuzufügen, ohne Ihre WordPress-Theme-Dateien direkt zu bearbeiten.
Der beste Weg, um WordPress Header und Footer Code hinzuzufügen
Wenn Sie den WordPress-Kopf- und Fußzeilencode hinzufügen möchten, gibt es drei mögliche Lösungen:
- Manuell, indem Sie die Dateien header.php und footer.php Ihres Themes bearbeiten
- Mit der integrierten Kopf- und Fußzeilen-Codefunktion Ihres Themes
- Verwendung eines WordPress-Plugins
Die erste Option ist nicht sehr anfängerfreundlich, da Sie den Code für die Kopf- und Fußzeilen direkt in den Dateien header.php und footer.php manuell hinzufügen müssen.
Ein weiterer Nachteil dieser Methode ist, dass Ihr Code entfernt wird, wenn Sie ein Update für Ihr Thema installieren.
Die zweite Möglichkeit ist die Verwendung der integrierten Funktion Ihres Themes. Einige WordPress-Themes wie Elegant Themes und Genesis Framework von StudioPress bieten eine integrierte Option zum schnellen Hinzufügen von Code und Skripten zu Ihrem WordPress-Header und Footer.
Wenn Sie ein Thema mit einer integrierten Funktion verwenden, scheint dies eine sichere und einfache Lösung zu sein. Wenn Sie jedoch Ihr Theme ändern, sind alle Code-Snippets, die Sie Ihrer Website hinzugefügt haben, verschwunden. Dies gilt auch für die Website-Überprüfung in der Google Search Console, die Website-Analyse über Google Analytics und so weiter.
Aus diesem Grund empfehlen wir den Nutzern immer die dritte Option, ein Header- und Footer-Plugin zu verwenden. Diese Option ist bei weitem die einfachste und sicherste Methode, um Kopf- und Fußzeilen-Code in WordPress hinzuzufügen.
Nach vielen Anfragen von Lesern hat unser Team das WPCode-Plugin entwickelt.
WPCode (ehemals Insert Headers and Footers) ist ein 100% kostenloses Code Snippet Plugin. Mit ihm können Sie ganz einfach Code in die Kopf- und Fußzeile von WordPress einfügen.
Hier sind einige Vorteile der Verwendung des WPCode-Plugins:
1. Einfach, schnell und gut organisiert: Sie können einfach und schnell Codes zu den Kopf- und Fußzeilen Ihrer Website hinzufügen. Außerdem sorgt es für Ordnung, indem es Ihnen erlaubt, alle Ihre Fußzeilen- und Kopfzeilen-Codes an einem Ort zu speichern.
2. Verhindert Fehler: Die intelligente Code-Snippet-Validierung hilft, Fehler zu vermeiden, die bei der manuellen Bearbeitung Ihrer Themendateien auftreten können.
3. Aktualisieren oder ändern Sie Ihr Theme ohne Sorge: Das Plugin speichert Ihren Header- und Footer-Code an einem separaten Ort, so dass Sie Ihr Theme aktualisieren oder ändern können, ohne sich Sorgen zu machen, dass der Code gelöscht wird.
Neben Header- und Footer-Skripten können Sie mit WPCode auch ganz einfach benutzerdefinierte PHP-, JavaScript-, CSS-, HTML- und Text-Code-Schnipsel einfügen, ohne Ihre Theme-Dateien zu bearbeiten.
Darüber hinaus verfügt WPCode über eine integrierte Snippets-Bibliothek, in der Sie alle nützlichen WordPress-Code-Snippets finden können. So können Sie WordPress-Funktionen, die Sie nicht benötigen, wie automatische Updates, REST API, XML-RPC, Kommentare und mehr, schnell entfernen.
Hinweis: Wenn Sie erweiterte Funktionen wie eine private Cloud-Snippet-Bibliothek, Konvertierungspixel, geplante Snippets, Code-Revisionen und mehr wünschen, können Sie auf WPCode Pro upgraden.
Weitere Einzelheiten finden Sie in unserer Anleitung zum einfachen Hinzufügen von benutzerdefiniertem Code in WordPress.
Sehen wir uns also an, wie man mit dem WPCode-Plugin ganz einfach Kopf- und Fußzeilencode in WordPress hinzufügen kann.
Video-Anleitung
Wenn Sie sich das Video-Tutorial nicht ansehen möchten, können Sie die Textversion weiter unten lesen:
Hinzufügen von Code zu Kopf- und Fußzeilen in WordPress
Als Erstes müssen Sie das kostenlose WPCode-Plugin installieren und aktivieren. Weitere Einzelheiten finden Sie in unserer Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitung für die Installation eines WordPress-Plugins.
Sobald das Plugin aktiviert ist, gehen Sie in Ihrem WordPress-Administrationsbereich zu Code Snippets “ Header & Footer. Danach sehen Sie ein Feld „Kopfzeile“, in dem Sie Ihren Code hinzufügen können.
Wenn Sie nach unten scrollen, sehen Sie auch ein Feld „Hauptteil“ und ein Feld „Fußzeile“.
Fügen Sie den Code einfach in eines der drei Felder ein. Vergessen Sie anschließend nicht, auf die Schaltfläche „Änderungen speichern“ zu klicken, um Ihre Einstellungen zu speichern.
Das Plugin lädt nun automatisch den Code an den entsprechenden Stellen auf Ihrer WordPress-Website.
Sie können jeden Code, den Sie nicht behalten wollen, jederzeit bearbeiten und entfernen.
Sie müssen das Plugin immer installiert und aktiviert lassen. Wenn Sie das Plugin deaktivieren, wird der gesamte benutzerdefinierte Code nicht mehr zu Ihrer Website hinzugefügt.
Wenn Sie das Plugin versehentlich deaktivieren, ist der Code immer noch sicher in Ihrer WordPress-Datenbank gespeichert. Sie können das Plugin einfach neu installieren oder reaktivieren, und der Code wird wieder angezeigt.
Hinweis: Möglicherweise müssen Sie nach dem Speichern der Änderungen den WordPress-Cache leeren, damit der Code korrekt im Frontend Ihrer Website angezeigt wird.
Wir haben festgestellt, dass der Hauptgrund, warum viele Anfänger das WPCode-Plugin verwenden, darin besteht, Google Analytics zu ihrer Website hinzuzufügen. Dafür empfehlen wir eigentlich das kostenlose MonsterInsights-Plugin.
MonsterInsights ist das beste Google-Analytics-Plugin für WordPress. Es hilft Ihnen, das Google Analytics Tracking mit nur wenigen Klicks einzurichten und zeigt Ihnen hilfreiche Statistiken direkt in Ihrem WordPress Dashboard.
Eine schrittweise Anleitung finden Sie in diesem Tutorial zur Installation von Google Analytics in WordPress.

Hi,
Your team member has tried to resolve my issue and they are on time .. but i just saw this place where we can leave a reply..
I am trying to add a meta tag to my front page as required by my affiliate programm company to get to promote their product. I used add header and footer plug in as suggested by your team member and after adding and saving changes I do not see the changes .. how would the site look after adding the meta tag by the way the meta tag is as below
OR the other option is to add a new page with their code which is .html . i tried to copy paste as but it remains as such. IS IT BECAUSE MY SITE IS PHP SUPPORT AND THE CODE IS HTML OR HOW?
Hope to recieve your advice and feedback.
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Madhusudan,
The meta tags are located in your website’s HTML code. They are added in the header section or at the end. Meta tags are not visible on your website and do not make any change to your website’s appearance. You can still view the meta tag by viewing the source or using the inspect tool.

I use this plug-in all the time with no issues. Today, I installed it and added my code needed into the correct area. Every page is showing the code except the home page. Any idea why every page would have the code except the home page?

George Beasley Jr says
I tried installing the „Insert Headers and Footers“ into my website. When I go to „Settings/Insert Headers and Footers“, I get this error: (Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_unslash() in /home/afvetrep/public_html/wp-content/plugins/insert-headers-and-footers/ihaf.php on line 169)
What do I do?
WPBeginner Support says
Hey George,
wp_unslash() is a standard WordPress core function since WordPress 3.6. If you are using an older version of WordPress, then you need to update WordPress.
If you are using the latest version of WordPress and still seeing this error, then let us know and we will help you troubleshoot.

Hi, This is probably a silly question, but if I already installed a facebook script in the header and now want to install another one from Hotjar, I am deleting the prior Facebook script so it is not re- installed, correct? Sorry I am not well versed in code.
Thanks
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Isabella,
Yes it is ok to do that. If you are unsure, then you can just copy the old code and save it as a text file on your computer.

Hello !
This would be my first time using your plugin. I am hoping to render my web site more secure by adding these following scripts in the header :
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block
My questions are : Can I use your plugin to do this and if so do I make the header addition scripts one at a time or as I have typed them here.
Thanks for your help !
WPBeginner Support says
The more appropriate way to set HTTP headers in WordPress is by using the send_headers hook. Here is an example, it goes in functions.php file.
add_action( 'send_headers', 'add_header_xua' ); function add_header_xua() { header( 'X-UA-Compatible: IE=edge,chrome=1' ); }1-click Use in WordPress

Hi,
I’m new to WPBeginner.com, and this is the first tutorial I have viewed. To be blunt, I’m stunned that a tutorial says „Here you see two text boxes where you can add your code. Simply copy and paste any meta information, scripts, Google Analytics, etc. and click “save settings”. This code will now be output to either your header or you footer.“
Regrettably, there are no links to information that helps a beginner understand how to get, or use, any of the code indicated. This renders the plugin useless to me.
My use for this plugin is to use it for connecting to pages such as privacy policy and publisher disclaimer. Is there a tutorial somewhere that shows this? if so, please link to it from this page.

It seems like your WordPress theme does not uses the standard wp_header and wp_footer functions. Please try switching temporarily to a default theme like twenty thirteen and see if the problem persists.
Mufidah Kassalias says
I’ve been using this plugin happily until the other day when we upgraded to the latest theme version (a major upgrade). The plugin broke our menu (it took quite a bit of investigation to narrow it down and be sure it was this plugin causing the conflict), so I’ve had to deactivate it. As you can imagine this is not a great solution, since our Google site verification, publisher info, analytics tracking and so on no longer exist in the head of our site. Do you have any suggestions regarding additional code I could include that would resolve the problem? Thank you.
WPBeginner Staff says
Are you sure its this plugin? We tested this and we were able to upload images just fine.
Andrea says
Hi there. I’ve noticed that I have to deactivate the plugin in order to see my images to insert them into a post. Is there way to fix this? I love the plugin otherwise!

Hi, I just installed your plugin, and I understand it allows to insert website-wide code in the header, do you have some version/recommendation for a plugin that works separately for each page in the site?
Thank you very much!
Bob says
I’m using Genesis and am looking for a footer which is much more plug and play such as a widget where typical footer fields can be entered by a business user (non-coder). Even the available widget-based footers I see in the marketplace only go as far as saying ok, here’s your space, now add a random widget with some code snippets (way beyond my skills).
If that magic doesn’t exist, can I just copy the footer code you are using on wpbeginner.com, edit the info and paste it into a Text widget into my Footer 1 position?
Editorial Staff says
Theoretically yes you can copy the code and paste it in the footer area. However it may cause some styling issues.

How do you add header scripts in just „one specific“ page? This plugin is only applicable if you are adding a script for all the pages, but is not applicable if you will add it in a specific page.

for “How do you add header scripts in just “one specific” page? This plugin is only applicable if you are adding a script for all the pages, but is not applicable if you will add it in a specific page.”
You can use php w/ the following info:

in conjunction with your scripts.

when I use it to insert google font code in header

This plugin is mainly created for analytics script, or meta information. This is not meant to be used for inserting jQuery or other design elements like those. The purpose was to allow users to easily add tags in their head or footer without editing theme files.

Mladen says
I have tried to add FB meta tags in header with this plugin, but it didn’t work. The idea is good, though.
Editorial Staff says
If you are trying to add dynamic PHP code in this plugin, then it would not work. This plugin does not execute PHP. It is mainly for inserting static meta tags.
Admin
Mladen says
Well, I don’t know if those tags are dynamic or static
I tried the standard Facebook tags such as this:
<meta property="og:url" content="“/>
<meta property="og:title" content="“ />
<meta property="og:description" content="ID)); ?>“ />
<meta property="og:image" content="ID ) ) ?>“ />
Can you tell me if this plugin is good for this purpose? Thanks
Editorial Staff says
No it is not good for that. Because the URL, the Title, and Description all have the PHP tag which is dynamic.
Gautam Doddamani says
a great plugin but my custom theme already has this option! will bookmark this post in case i change my themes.
Editorial Staff says
Yeah it’s main purpose is to keep you from being theme dependent. Often people place their Analytics codes etc in their theme’s footer scripts area like this. Then they forgot about it when they switch themes. This causes them to lose analytics data for number of days.
