Title: Adding Script in Header without installing plugin Last modified: October 7, 2016 --- # Adding Script in Header without installing plugin * Resolved [manikum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/manikum/) * (@manikum) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-script-in-header-without-installing-plugin/) * I am trying to put some script code in between and of the Virtue theme. One way is to use plugin ‘Header and Footer Script’. Could you tell me how to do it without installing plugin and doing changes in child theme of the plugin?

You would need to use a plugin or else a child theme.

Since as you wrote, it is possible to do it in free version using child theme, can you please tell me steps for it? * [hannah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hannahritner/) * (@hannahritner) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-script-in-header-without-installing-plugin/#post-8264234) * You should be able to paste it into your header.php file. Or you can use a simple plugin like this- [https://wordpress.org/plugins/header-and-footer-scripts/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/header-and-footer-scripts/) * Hannah * Thread Starter [manikum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/manikum/) * (@manikum) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-script-in-header-without-installing-plugin/#post-8264249) * OK. That would help. Thanks 🙂 * [Ben Ritner – Kadence WP](https://wordpress.org/support/users/britner/) * (@britner) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-script-in-header-without-installing-plugin/#post-8264257) * So the template is in your templates folder templates/head.php * But I would suggest you just add a function to pull the script into the header from your child theme functions.php file. like this: * ``` function custom_header_script() { { ?>
