 * Hi,
    I installed your plugin and activated it – All seemed OK. When putting the
   first and only facebook pixel to use, I can see a gap above the header (just 
   as if you put a =br= at the top of the page). When I deactivate the pixel, the
   gap disappear. Any ideas? Thank you.

 * Hi.
 * I see the problem now –
    The tracking code doesn’t go above the </head> like 
   I set it up. Rather it goes in the body. Attached is a link to a screenshot of
   the inspection: [http://imgur.com/uW4LwFN](http://imgur.com/uW4LwFN)

 * Hi acedemyadmin,
    I suppose that this could be caused by some “strange characters”
   that I see inside your script like “‪”.
 * Unfortunately we are not able to reproduce your issue that seems to be connected
   to the script that you have used.
    We could connect to your website and see what
   happens, if you like the idea please grant us a valid WP access here [https://intellywp.com/report-a-bug/](https://intellywp.com/report-a-bug/)
   explaining how to reproduce your issue.
 * We will connect to your website and we will be happy to fix your issue.
    Cheers,
   Simon.

 * Thank you guys for the offering,
    Unfortunately, I can’t give up an admin user
   access… The code I was using is an official Facebook pixel which doesn’t even
   hold those strange characters. Thanks again for your help.

 * Just to help others and perhaps help you make your plugin better, I have found
   what the problem was:
    I was asked to insert this pixel from facebook via email(
   facebook gives the option to ask someone for help embedding a pixel by entering
   that person’s email), so I got the email, copy and pasted the pixel code from
   the email into your plugin and got the error. Why? because the email contents
   held hidden characters that didn’t show, but after rendering the code by the 
   browser), hence the “strange” character – you couldn’t see it physically, not
   in the email and not in the plugin text box. So how did I solve it? by copy-pasting
   straight from facebook rather than from the email they sent me. I think you should
   be able to filter the text better as the plugin developers, because not always
   the developer is given access to the facebook (or other) admin panel. There are
   functions that can filter the text from the user and sanitize it. hope that helps!
