    Hello.
    I created a chat group at chatango and copied the emded code to use in my wordpress webpage, but im not sure which is the best way to add this code. I used echo inside my child-theme to run the script. I did it this way but i’m pretty positive its not the correct way.

    1. Is this dangerous for my website?
    2. What is the best way to do what i want to do?
    3. Where can i find out how exactly to do it since im learning by doing so i don’t know a lot of things.

    Thank you for your time.

    The blog I need help with is aioanime.com

    Soory if this in not the correct place to ask for help if topic needs to be moved to it and inform me. thanks in regards

    It seems like you have echo code in header.php file of your child theme. this is one of the correct way to adding our custom code to theme.
    As you said you have added code to your child theme this is not dangerous to your site.

    Sorry my bad. I added the code in functions.php
    I just followed a guide on how to make a child cause i lack knowledge so according to the guide i only have functions.php and style.css

    Should i make a header.php to add it over there preferable?
    And if i’m to do that what is the way?
    Create header.php
    Add originals header.php info in comments in there
    enque it in functions.php the way i did with style.css ??

    Hello,
    Hardcode is not the proper way.
    Let me know where you want show that embed code result.
    If it is in the post or page, then you can use page or post editor to show it.
    thanks.

    <script> …. add chatbox.js + its css </script>

    hello,
    Its seems there may not any php code.
    its full of javascript and css.
    You just place your code in the header.php or footer.php file before closing of head tag.
    NO need to echo this. Browser will automatically render this.
    thanks.

    Hello,
    copy header.php file from your parent theme folder and place that header.php file inside the child theme folder. there you go.
    Inside that header.php file put your code there before head end tag. Just open it , edit it and place that code in the header.php file which is inside your child theme.
    Hope you will do it.
    thanks.
