How to add code before body <tag>?

[dgh789]

Hi, I’ve signed up to a Live Chat plugin called Tawk.To - in the set-up instructions it says to add JavaScript Code before the body .

See here: https://www.tawk.to/knowledgebase/getting-started/adding-a-widget-to-your-website/

How do I do this?

Apologies to ask (what I assume is) a really simple question. Thanks for your help.

Best,
David.

Hello David,

Thanks for asking.

An easier alternative to integrate Tawk.to to your website would be to use there official WordPress plugin. I am sharing the relevant links that you can take a look.

However, if you would like to go with the JS code option, then please add following code in child theme function.php file:

add_action( 'x_before_site_begin', 'chat_script' );
function chat_script(){
?>
   <!-- chat_script code here -->
<?php
}

You can use following resources to download and setup child theme.
