Look at your theme files and see how it assembles your website’s pages, in your theme folder you will likely have a file “header.php”, it will produce your “” tag, and then call a hook function such as “afterhead();” (or similar), or maybe just “wp_head();”. See how it is defined, it will tell you how to add a function to this hook. Similarly after the “” tag it calls “wp_body_open();”. In each case find the hook that is invoked in that context. Now add functions to these hooks, could be done in a plugin, but more likely in the theme’s “functions.php” file, to do this properly you need to be working in a child theme, details here: creating a child theme [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) if this does not suit you then this may help: [https://github.com/woothemes/theme-customisations](https://github.com/woothemes/theme-customisations) * I have given specifics for the twentynineteen theme, the specifics may vary. * Thread Starter [alexandrarosi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexandrarosi/) * (@alexandrarosi) * [5 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/insert-google-tags-to/#post-13997106) * Thank you!!
