Bei WPBeginner schreiben wir viele Tutorials, die das Einfügen von Code in die <header>- oder <footer>-Abschnitte Ihrer WordPress-Website erfordern. Das kann sich wie eine entmutigende Aufgabe anfühlen, vor allem, weil WordPress keine eingebaute Option zum Einfügen von Codeschnipseln im Header und Footer bietet.
Aber das Hinzufügen von Header- und Footer-Code in WordPress ist notwendig, wenn man versucht, sich mit Web-Diensten wie Google Analytics, Google Search Console, Facebook Pixel und anderen zu integrieren.
Vielleicht stoßen Sie auch auf WordPress-Tutorials, in denen Sie aufgefordert werden, individuelle CSS- oder JavaScript-Codes zu Ihrem WordPress Header oder Footer hinzuzufügen.
Glücklicherweise gibt es eine einfache Lösung für Anfänger. Mit dem kostenlosen WPCode Plugin können Sie den Code sicher hinzufügen, ohne die Dateien Ihres WordPress Themes direkt zu bearbeiten.
In diesem Artikel zeigen wir Ihnen, wie Sie ganz einfach Header- und Footer-Code in WordPress einfügen können.
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 den Code für den Header und Footer Ihrer Website einfach und schnell hinzufügen. Außerdem sorgt es für Ordnung, indem es Ihnen erlaubt, alle Footer- und Header-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.

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.

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
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

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
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
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
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.

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
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
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

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
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

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
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?
Thanks
WPBeginner Support
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
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
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

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.

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
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.
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?

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
WPBeginner Support
This plugin is not for that at the moment. For customizing the design of your theme you may want to look into page builder plugins like the ones in our article below:

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.

This plugin’s activation active auto bulk mail sending from my hosting server. This is working like a spam. So I have to delete this from my website.

Hi,
My site was built by a web developer who already included all sorts of code snippets in the section of my site.
If I add new snippets of code using this plugin, will it overwrite the code that’s already there or just add the new code to the existing code?
I don’t want to make a mess of my site…
Thanks!

If you add code using this plugin it would be added to your site, it would not replace code

Hi! I tried to add the plugin to my site but you need to have a business page to add any plugins? Can I add the code without a plugin?

It sounds like your site is on WordPress.com, in which case you are limited to what WordPress.com allows. Our guides are for WordPress.org sites, you can see a comparison between the two here:

If the code is not being added to your header, you would want to clear any caching on your site as that is the most common root of that issue.
