Go to editor > and select header. php file.

Copy this file and paste it in your child theme. Now go to editor and add code after the body tag. * 2) go to appearance > widget > sidebar widget. Add your code in this sidebar widget using custom HTML widget. * Thread Starter [nichere](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nichere/) * (@nichere) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inserting-google-tag-manager/#post-10677399) * now trying via cpanel * Thread Starter [nichere](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nichere/) * (@nichere) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inserting-google-tag-manager/#post-10677405) * I am using the child version.
