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.

    Adsense give me copy code in to my site (between head) , where I can put code into my site?? I use premium plan!

  2. MADHUSUDAN

    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

      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 have added the header/footer plug in. I added my facebook pixel code and hit saved. But how to I install this code to specific pages of my website so I can track certain conversions?

  4. Jen

    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?

  5. John

    This post doesn’t teach what script to put in the footer though. What simple script can I use to get started? I just want a simple footer.

  7. George Beasley Jr

    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

      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.

      • Isabella

        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

          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.

  26. Marcelo Guimaraes

    Hello! I am using Insert Headers and Footers to add the Google Analytics code to my WP site. Do I need to worry about each page on my site separately or am I covering the entire site simply by following the instructions on this video and adding the code to the Headers box (Insert Headers and Footers > Settings)?

  27. Luciferbui

    Do you have html code or something, i need it to make my site faster
    No more plugin :)
    Thanks

  28. Patrick Saad

    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

      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' );
      }

    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.

  30. Richard Bauer

    Can Headers be static menus that include text, graphics, and links to pages? Same for Footers.
    is my site and is developed using FrontPage. We want to simply convert the entire site to Word Press as simple as possible. All links are to other site pages, site PDF and Word files, and a few external links. No Forms, No dynamic database, NO searches.

    any help would be appreciated

  31. marke

    Same result from inserting in wp_head Hook in Genesis Simple Hooks? Worked for me.

  32. Mary

    There have been big changes in WP – Is this plugin still compatible?
    Thanks

  33. WPBeginner Staff

    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.

  34. Mufidah Kassalias

    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.

  35. Andrea

    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!

  36. Cha

    How long does it take before the code starts publishing data for Google Analytics?

  37. Henrietta

    Hello there,

    You have helped me so much with so many issues – best site ever! thanks!

  38. Krista

    Hi there,
    I am trying to update my one line of code in google analytics to get demographic info. I am sure I have pasted it correctly into the header(and footer, which I have always had there, but just read in a previous comment is unnecessary.) When I clcik the button in google analytics to validate code, it does not recognize the change. Have tried several times. Could you help me figure out how to solve this, please? Thanks!

  39. corlie

    Brilliant! super easy to use :)

  40. Julie

    Can I use this plugin to add javascript code? Such as a redirection script?

    Thanks!

      • Pedro

        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!

  41. Bob

    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

      Theoretically yes you can copy the code and paste it in the footer area. However it may cause some styling issues.

  42. april whitlow

    If I am using this for google analytics, do i insert it into the header and footer or just the footer. sorry for the simple question. I am at the very beginning of learning.

  43. Vince

    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.

    • Rya

      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:
      http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags
      in conjunction with your scripts.

  44. Fayola

    I did this and I see that the script appears in the footer of my page. However, Google Analytics still says that the tracking is not installed. Please help!

  45. Stan Peters

    I get Notice: wp_register_style was called incorrectly. Scripts and styles should not be registered or enqueued until the wp_enqueue_scripts, admin_enqueue_scripts, or init hooks.

    when I use it to insert google font code in header

    • Editorial Staff

      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.

      Admin

    • Ed

      I get the same problem. Is there a solution to this?

  46. Mladen

    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

      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

        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

          No it is not good for that. Because the URL, the Title, and Description all have the PHP tag which is dynamic.

  47. Gautam Doddamani

    a great plugin but my custom theme already has this option! will bookmark this post in case i change my themes.

    • Editorial Staff

      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.
