Come aggiungere il codice dell’intestazione e del piè di pagina in WordPress (in modo semplice)

Noi di WPBeginner scriviamo molti tutorial che richiedono l’inserimento di codice nelle sezioni <header> o <footer> del vostro sito web WordPress. Questo può sembrare un compito scoraggiante, soprattutto perché WordPress non fornisce un’opzione integrata per aggiungere snippet di codice nell’header e nel footer.

Tuttavia, l’aggiunta di codice header e footer in WordPress è necessaria quando si cerca di integrarsi con servizi web come Google Analytics, Google Search Console, Facebook Pixel e altri ancora.

Potreste anche imbattervi in tutorial di WordPress che vi chiedono di aggiungere del codice CSS personalizzato o JavaScript all’header o al footer di WordPress.

Fortunatamente, esiste una soluzione semplice per i principianti. Con il plugin gratuito WPCode, è possibile aggiungere in modo sicuro il codice senza modificare direttamente i file del tema di WordPress.

In questo articolo vi mostreremo come aggiungere facilmente codice header e footer in WordPress.

How to Add Header and Footer Code in WordPress

Il modo migliore per aggiungere il codice dell’intestazione e del piè di pagina di WordPress

Se volete aggiungere il codice dell’intestazione e del piè di pagina di WordPress, ci sono tre possibili soluzioni:

  1. Manualmente, modificando i file header.php e footer.php del proprio tema
  2. Con la funzione di codice dell’intestazione e del piè di pagina incorporata nel vostro tema
  3. Utilizzo di un plugin di WordPress

La prima opzione non è adatta ai principianti, perché richiede di aggiungere il codice dell’intestazione e del piè di pagina modificando direttamente i file header.php e footer.php.

Un altro svantaggio di questo metodo è che il codice verrà rimosso se si installa un aggiornamento del tema.

La seconda opzione consiste nell’utilizzare la funzione integrata del vostro tema. Alcuni temi WordPress come Elegant Themes e Genesis Framework di StudioPress offrono un’opzione integrata per aggiungere rapidamente codice e script all’intestazione e al piè di pagina di WordPress.

Se si utilizza un tema con una funzione integrata, sembra una soluzione semplice e sicura. Tuttavia, se cambiate il tema, tutti gli snippet di codice aggiunti al vostro sito web spariranno. Questo include la verifica del sito in Google Search Console, l’analisi del sito tramite Google Analytics e così via.

Per questo motivo consigliamo sempre agli utenti di utilizzare la terza opzione, un plugin per intestazioni e piè di pagina. Questa opzione è di gran lunga il metodo più semplice e sicuro per aggiungere codice di intestazione e piè di pagina in WordPress.

Dopo molte richieste da parte dei lettori, il nostro team ha creato il plugin WPCode.

WPCode

WPCode (ex Insert Headers and Footers) è un plugin per snippet di codice gratuito al 100%. È possibile utilizzarlo per aggiungere facilmente codice all’intestazione e al piè di pagina di WordPress.

Ecco alcuni vantaggi dell’utilizzo del plugin WPCode:

1. Facile, veloce e organizzato: Consente di aggiungere codice all’header e al footer del sito in modo facile e veloce. Inoltre, consente di organizzare i codici del footer e dell’header in un unico posto.

2. Previene gli errori: La convalida intelligente dei frammenti di codice aiuta a prevenire gli errori che possono verificarsi se si modificano manualmente i file del tema.

3. Aggiornamento o modifica del tema senza preoccupazioni: il plugin salva il codice dell’intestazione e del piè di pagina in un luogo separato, in modo da poter aggiornare o modificare il tema senza preoccuparsi che il codice venga cancellato.

Oltre agli script per l’intestazione e il piè di pagina, è possibile utilizzare WPCode per inserire facilmente frammenti di codice PHP, JavaScript, CSS, HTML e testo personalizzati senza modificare i file del tema.

Inoltre, WPCode dispone di una libreria di snippet integrata in cui è possibile trovare tutti i più utili snippet di codice di WordPress. Questo vi permette di rimuovere rapidamente le funzioni di WordPress che non desiderate, come gli aggiornamenti automatici, le API REST, XML-RPC, i commenti e altro ancora.

Nota: se si desiderano funzioni avanzate come una libreria di snippet in cloud privata, pixel di conversione, snippet programmati, revisioni del codice e altro ancora, è possibile passare a WPCode Pro.

Per maggiori dettagli, leggete la nostra guida su come aggiungere facilmente codice personalizzato in WordPress.

Detto questo, vediamo come aggiungere facilmente il codice dell’intestazione e del piè di pagina in WordPress utilizzando il plugin WPCode.

Aggiunta di codice all’intestazione e al piè di pagina di WordPress

La prima cosa da fare è installare e attivare il plugin gratuito WPCode. Per maggiori dettagli, consultate la nostra guida passo passo su come installare un plugin di WordPress.

Una volta attivato il plugin, andate su Code Snippets ” Header & Footer dal pannello di amministrazione di WordPress. Successivamente, verrà visualizzato un riquadro “Intestazione” in cui è possibile aggiungere il codice.

Add code to header and footer with WPCode

Se si scorre verso il basso, si vedranno anche un riquadro “Corpo” e un riquadro “Piè di pagina”.

Header and footer script boxes WPCode

È sufficiente incollare il codice in una delle tre caselle. Una volta terminato, non dimenticate di fare clic sul pulsante “Salva modifiche” per memorizzare le impostazioni.

Il plugin caricherà automaticamente il codice nelle rispettive posizioni del sito WordPress.

È sempre possibile modificare e rimuovere il codice che non si desidera mantenere.

È necessario mantenere il plugin sempre installato e attivato. La disattivazione del plugin interromperà l’aggiunta di tutto il codice personalizzato al sito.

Se si disattiva accidentalmente il plugin, il codice sarà ancora memorizzato in modo sicuro nel database di WordPress. È sufficiente reinstallare o riattivare il plugin e il codice ricomincerà a comparire.

Nota: potrebbe essere necessario cancellare la cache di WordPress dopo aver salvato le modifiche, in modo che il codice venga visualizzato correttamente sul front-end del sito web.

Abbiamo riscontrato che il motivo principale per cui molti principianti utilizzano il plugin WPCode è l’aggiunta di Google Analytics al loro sito web. Per questo, consigliamo di utilizzare il plugin gratuito MonsterInsights.

MonsterInsights è il miglior plugin di Google Analytics per WordPress. Vi aiuta a impostare correttamente il monitoraggio di Google Analytics con pochi clic e vi mostra statistiche utili direttamente nella vostra dashboard di WordPress.

Per le istruzioni passo passo, vedere questo tutorial su come installare Google Analytics in WordPress.

    Ever since I have used wpcode on my website, it has reduced many troubles of messing with the functions.php file.
    I remember messing with the code back in 2017 and it was horrible.
    wpcode makes it easy not only to insert the code snippets but also it helps in easy maintenance.
    Moreover, it gives power to avoid lots of plugins to get small functionalities.

  3. Mrteesurez

    Thanks for this guide.
    Although adding code to the header and footer was once a big problem for me as I am afraid to loose the custom code when updating my theme, I then created a child theme for this but it was somehow technical.
    Now, I am using WPcode to add the code and implement other custom codes with ease, it’s even faster as there are some ready made custom code in WPcode itself. The plugin is very useful, thanks.

    • WPBeginner Support

      Glad to hear you found the plugin helpful!

    I’ve been using the WpCode plugin for several years and it’s really great. Especially for newbies who are afraid to insert codes into the website. This plugin is almost a must on every website. It can really save a lot of work and here on wpbeginner there are a lot of ready-made solutions.

  5. Pierre-Yves

    Hello
    I’ve installed the WPCode plugin and I’ve inserted code in the header field in the “Global Header and Footer” tab. This code shows a popup.
    The website is multisite and WPCode is activated on all the network.
    The popup shows well in the home page of my website, but not on other pages where people can land after searching in Google.
    What I’ve to do to get the popup showing on any page ?
    Thanks

    • WPBeginner Support

      Just to be certain, does your theme have a style for your other pages that uses a different header or removes the header?

      Admin

  6. Viney Bhatia

    Is there any way to hide the header or footer code for some posts/pages?

    • WPBeginner Support

      Not at the moment with the plugin.

      Admin

  7. Aamir Nadeem

    How many codes we can add in single header or footer section, I mean can i use two or three codes in single header section like facebook code google code etc.

    • WPBeginner Support

      As long as the code is added properly and you’re not placing code within other blocks of code you can add as many as you would like.

      Admin

  8. FRANK Pirrone

    Hello, I added the code and clicked save. Nothing happened. Is there a publish button I need to press?

    • WPBeginner Support

      It would depend on the code you added as not all code has a visible component, you may also want to try clearing any caching on your site for another common reason for not seeing any change on a site.

      Admin

  9. Jamie Turner

    Hi — Quick question. I’ve installed the plugin. Is there a way to select which pages the header and footer show up on? All I see is a global install without the ability to select pages. Thanks!

    • WPBeginner Support

      At the moment the plugin is for adding code to your site’s header and not showing/hiding your header. Your theme’s templates would decide where your header and footer show on your site.

      Admin

  10. Pierre Patenaude

    I have installed the plugin (and it shows as being activated in the plugin list) but it doesn’t show up in the “Settings” menu. Did I miss a step? Could you provide a solution?
    Thanks

    • WPBeginner Support

      No, the option should be available once the plugin is active as long as you have access to edit the site’s settings, you would want to ensure you are an admin on the site and if it is still not visible you would want to try disabling your other plugins to see if it is possibly a conflict with one of those plugins.

      Admin

  11. Ashleigh White

    Hi! I have a question! I am trying to add the global site tag and phone snippet to my code on each page so I can track my google ad calls. I have the “Headers and Footers” plugin, can I just paste it here and I am good? Or does it matter where I post it (Header vs. Body. Footer)? Thanks so much!

  12. Deborah Dakota

    So close to being what’s needed! But Google strongly recommends using different metadata for every page. “Identical or similar descriptions on every page of a site aren’t helpful when individual pages appear in the web results. In these cases we’re less likely to display the boilerplate text. Wherever possible, create descriptions that accurately describe the specific page. ” Please consider updating your plugin accordingly.

    • WPBeginner Support

      Our plugin is not for metadata, it is mainly for code to add things like Google Analytics tracking or for verification codes. If you want a plugin for adding metadata to individual posts, we would recommend taking a look at All in One SEO as that will give you far better control over your metadata :)

      Admin

    I have a question. How do you remove code that you added using the insert headers and footers plugin? When I open up the theme editor I can’t find the code I added using this plugin.

    • WPBeginner Support

      Code added using the plugin would be removed when removed from the plugin’s settings or the plugin is uninstalled.

      Admin

  14. James

    Hello, hey I added the plugin above to my site and added the code to the header section. Then I tested with your site and it said it was saved successfully.

    But I don’t see the bot when I go to the live site. Could u tell me what I’m doing worng? Tnx.

    • WPBeginner Support

      It would depend on the specific code you are adding, we would recommend checking with the support for the code for if you added it correctly as not all code is made to have something visible.

      Admin

  15. Emmanuel

    I wanted to change the color of my address bar using this plugin but each time I paste it gives me an error message

    Is my code okay?

    • WPBeginner Support

      It would depend on the specific code and where the code is intended to be added. You would want to reach out to who you received the code from for where it should be placed.

      Admin

  16. Elizabeth

    I bought a theme but it does not let me add any button action in the header nor in the menu, do you think this plugin could help me???

  17. Ahmed

    How can add the code in the header as high as possible? I need to put Code first of few lines in the header. How can I control the position of the code?

    Thanks

    • WPBeginner Support

      If you need a very specific location for the code, you would want to manually add the code to your files.

      Admin

  18. William

    USELESS for a theme that does not have headers in the first place, like wordpress 2021. Useless.

    It was implied that this plugin would do that. It. Does. Not. ALL it does in insert a GIANT version of the picture you choose ABOVE your menu and site name.

    • WPBeginner Support

      The 2021 theme does have a header but, the Insert Headers and Footers plugin is for inserting code such as Google Analytics, not for adding photos to the header of your website. We would not recommend using this plugin for adding a header image as that would cause the errors you are running into.

      Admin

  19. Muhammad Shoaib

    Hey There,

    I have already installed “Insert Footer and Header plugin”, if I wanna to remove from site then the inserted code would also be removed from header section or still saved without plugin?
    Kindly light me.

    • WPBeginner Support

      If you remove the plugin, the added code should be removed as well.

      Admin

  20. Kirsten

    I’m being told by Google Analytics to add a Global Site Tag code immediately after the tag. Does this plugin do that? Otherwise, I have no idea how to add this code to *every* page on my site!

    • WPBeginner Support

      Yes, the plugin will add it to all of your pages with a header.

      Admin

    The Header and Footer in each blog post will be different? Is the Plugin for each Post?

    • WPBeginner Support

      Code added using the plugin will be on every post and page and not individual codes for individual posts and pages.

      Admin

  23. Denise

    If I need to add code before the closing tag, which box do I put the code into?

    • WPBeginner Support

      You would place that code into the footer section :)

      Admin

  26. Emory

    How do I install different code for each page type instead of putting all the code in every page?

    • WPBeginner Support

      You would need to manually add that if we’re understanding what you’re wanting.

    I am getting the following error when hitting SAVE from this plug-in:

    A potentially unsafe operation has been detected in your request to this site

    • WPBeginner Support

      You would want to check if you have any security plugins active on your site or if your host has one set up. You may also want to ensure you copied the code you are attempting to add correctly.

      Admin

  29. DAVE

    On your demonstration you didn’t have anything come up on the top.
    This is the instructions from the code generator I am using;
    Paste the copied code into bottom of your HTML page just before the closing tag
    I tested the code and it does not work, “Am I doing something different? “

    • WPBeginner Support

      We would first recommend reaching out to the support of what has generated the code to ensure there isn’t anything specific about the code that needs to be set on your page for it to work correctly.

      Admin

      • DAVE

        Yes thank you, good idea.

  30. James

    Hello. I need to edit the header code on a specific set of pages only. I have currently added the script I need to the header.php file, however this applies the code to all pages globally.

    Is there any way I can add the script to a specific set of pages only?

    • WPBeginner Support

      Unless I hear otherwise, we do not have a recommended method for page specific code at this time.

    If my theme does not allow custom header images, will this plugin allow me to make custom header images. Lost on how to do this. We have an old theme with custom header function

  33. Mark

    Would i be able to use a relative path? so I can move the site to a different host without changing header? if so where is the origin?

    i tried to include some some examples but sucuri blocked the post as malicious. i guess it doesn’t like seeing paths.

    • WPBeginner Support

      It would depend on the code but you should be able to user relative paths if you wanted.
