    Hi, I’m using Celestial Lite for my website and have used a Child Theme to edit the stylesheet to make certain amendments.

    I’d now like to add a Google customer survey, however, it specifies adding the given snippet between <>Head and <>/Head and I’m not sure if I can do this with Celestial Lite.

    Am I missing something obvious?

    Can I use Celestial Lite Child: Stylesheet (style.css) to do this?

    Any suggestions?

    You can use the wp_head action to output code to the <head>...</head> section. In your child theme’s functions.php, use code like this:

    <?php
function add_google_survey() {
  ... add given snippet here ...
}
add_action( 'wp_head', 'add_google_survey' );

    Hi, thank you for the speedy reply. Since posting I ran a search on the various plugins that came up for “Head” and uploaded Head Meta Data v20140923. It appears to be giving me what I want.

    Would using the child theme as you suggest be ‘better’ or are both equal for usefulness?

    Both are pretty much the same; I only suggested using a child theme because you said you already had one, so I figured it would be the path of least resistance. One advantage of using a plugin, though, is that if you decide to change themes later, the plugin will still be active, whereas if you used a child theme, you would have to make a child theme for the new parent theme.

    I see what you mean. On that basis I’ll stick with the plug in for now. Thanks.

    I’m assuming this topic can be set to Resolved?
