Já lhe pediram para adicionar alguns trechos de código à seção <header> ou <footer> do seu site WordPress?
Muitas vezes, você é solicitado a adicionar código de cabeçalho e rodapé no WordPress ao tentar se integrar a serviços da Web como Google Analytics, Google Search Console, Facebook Pixel e outros.
Você também pode se deparar com tutoriais do WordPress que podem pedir que você adicione algum código CSS ou JavaScript personalizado ao cabeçalho ou rodapé do WordPress.
Por padrão, o WordPress não oferece uma opção para inserir código no cabeçalho e no rodapé do seu site. Felizmente, há uma solução fácil para iniciantes.
Neste artigo, mostraremos como adicionar facilmente o código de cabeçalho e rodapé no WordPress. O objetivo é adicionar o código com segurança sem editar diretamente os arquivos de tema do WordPress.
A melhor maneira de adicionar o código de cabeçalho e rodapé do WordPress
Se você quiser adicionar o código de cabeçalho e rodapé do WordPress, há três soluções possíveis:
- Manualmente, editando os arquivos header.php e footer.php do seu tema
- Com o recurso de código de cabeçalho e rodapé incorporado ao seu tema
- Usando um plug-in do WordPress
A primeira opção não é amigável para iniciantes porque exige que você adicione o código do cabeçalho e do rodapé editando diretamente os arquivos header.php e footer.php manualmente.
Outra desvantagem de usar esse método é que seu código será removido se você instalar uma atualização em seu tema.
A segunda opção é usar o recurso interno do seu tema. Alguns temas do WordPress, como o Elegant Themes e o Genesis Framework do StudioPress, oferecem uma opção integrada para adicionar rapidamente códigos e scripts ao cabeçalho e ao rodapé do WordPress.
Se você estiver usando um tema com um recurso incorporado, essa parece ser uma solução segura e simples. No entanto, se você alterar o tema, todos os snippets de código adicionados ao seu site desaparecerão. Isso inclui a verificação do site no Google Search Console, a análise do site por meio do Google Analytics e assim por diante.
É por isso que sempre recomendamos aos usuários que usem a terceira opção, um plugin de cabeçalhos e rodapés. Essa opção é, de longe, o método mais fácil e seguro de adicionar código de cabeçalho e rodapé no WordPress.
Após muitas solicitações dos leitores, nossa equipe criou o plug-in WPCode.
O WPCode (anteriormente chamado de Insert Headers and Footers) é um plug-in de snippet de código 100% gratuito. Você pode usá-lo para adicionar facilmente códigos ao cabeçalho e ao rodapé do WordPress.
Aqui estão alguns benefícios de usar o plug-in WPCode:
1. Fácil, rápido e organizado: Ele permite que você adicione códigos ao cabeçalho e ao rodapé do site de forma fácil e rápida. Além disso, ele o mantém organizado, permitindo que você armazene todos os códigos de rodapé e cabeçalho em um único local.
2. Evita erros: A validação inteligente de snippet de código ajuda a evitar erros que podem ocorrer se você editar os arquivos do tema manualmente.
3. Atualize ou altere o tema sem preocupação: o plug-in salvará o código do cabeçalho e do rodapé em um local separado, para que você possa atualizar ou alterar o tema sem se preocupar com o apagamento do código.
Além dos scripts de cabeçalho e rodapé, você também pode usar o WPCode para inserir facilmente trechos de código PHP, JavaScript, CSS, HTML e texto personalizados sem editar os arquivos do tema.
Além disso, o WPCode tem uma biblioteca de snippets integrada na qual você pode encontrar todos os snippets de código mais úteis do WordPress. Isso permite que você remova rapidamente os recursos do WordPress que não deseja, como atualizações automáticas, API REST, XML-RPC, comentários e muito mais.
Observação: se você quiser recursos avançados, como uma biblioteca de snippets em nuvem privada, pixels de conversão, snippets programados, revisões de código e muito mais, poderá fazer upgrade para o WPCode Pro.
Para obter mais detalhes, leia nosso guia sobre como adicionar facilmente códigos personalizados no WordPress.
Dito isso, vamos ver como adicionar facilmente o código de cabeçalho e rodapé no WordPress usando o plug-in WPCode.

Adição de código ao cabeçalho e ao rodapé no WordPress
A primeira coisa que você precisa fazer é instalar e ativar o plug-in gratuito WPCode. Para obter mais detalhes, consulte nosso guia passo a passo sobre como instalar um plug-in do WordPress.
Depois que o plug-in for ativado, acesse Code Snippets ” Header & Footer no painel de administração do WordPress. Depois disso, você verá uma caixa “Header” (Cabeçalho) onde poderá adicionar seu código.
Se você rolar a tela para baixo, verá também uma caixa de “Corpo” e uma caixa de “Rodapé”.
Basta colar o código em uma das três caixas. Quando terminar, não se esqueça de clicar no botão “Save Changes” (Salvar alterações) para armazenar suas configurações.
O plug-in carregará automaticamente o código nos respectivos locais em seu site do WordPress.
Você sempre pode editar e remover qualquer código que não queira manter.
Você precisará manter o plug-in instalado e ativado o tempo todo. A desativação do plug-in interromperá a adição de todos os códigos personalizados ao seu site.
Se você desativar acidentalmente o plug-in, o código ainda estará armazenado com segurança no banco de dados do WordPress. Você pode simplesmente reinstalar ou reativar o plug-in e o código começará a aparecer novamente.
Observação: talvez seja necessário limpar o cache do WordPress após salvar as alterações, para que o código seja exibido corretamente no front-end do site.
Descobrimos que o principal motivo pelo qual muitos iniciantes usam o plug-in WPCode é adicionar o Google Analytics ao site. Para isso, recomendamos usar o plug-in gratuito MonsterInsights.
O MonsterInsights é o melhor plug-in do Google Analytics para WordPress. Ele ajuda você a configurar corretamente o acompanhamento do Google Analytics com apenas alguns cliques e mostra estatísticas úteis diretamente no painel do WordPress.
Para obter instruções passo a passo, consulte este tutorial sobre como instalar o Google Analytics no WordPress.

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.
Pierre-Yves says
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 says
Just to be certain, does your theme have a style for your other pages that uses a different header or removes the header?
Administrador
Viney Bhatia says
Is there any way to hide the header or footer code for some posts/pages?
WPBeginner Support says
Not at the moment with the plugin.

Aamir Nadeem says
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 says
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.
Administrador
FRANK Pirrone says
Hello, I added the code and clicked save. Nothing happened. Is there a publish button I need to press?
WPBeginner Support says
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.

Jamie Turner says
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 says
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.

Pierre Patenaude says
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 says
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.

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!
WPBeginner Support says
For ad code, it is recommended to place the code in the header, you can see more about that in our article below:

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 says
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

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

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 says
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.

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???
WPBeginner Support says
This plugin is for adding code such as scripts into the header, not for adding buttons. For an easy way to customize your design, you would want to take a look at page builders like the ones in our article below:

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?

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

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 says
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.

Muhammad Shoaib says
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?

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

DAVE says
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 says
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.
Administrador
DAVE says
Yes thank you, good idea.

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.

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