Hi,

I added this code to the functions.php of the child theme:

// Add script to the footer
// =============================================================================

function my_custom_footer_output(){?>

<script type=”text/javascript”>
var trackcmp_email = ”;
var trackcmp = document.createElement(“script”);
trackcmp.async = true;
trackcmp.type = ‘text/javascript’;
trackcmp.src = ‘//trackcmp.net/visit?actid=251724499&e=’+encodeURIComponent(trackcmp_email)+’&r=’+encodeURIComponent(document.referrer)+’&u=’+encodeURIComponent(window.location.href);
var trackcmp_s = document.getElementsByTagName(“script”);
if (trackcmp_s.length) {
trackcmp_s[0].parentNode.appendChild(trackcmp);
} else {
var trackcmp_h = document.getElementsByTagName(“head”);
trackcmp_h.length && trackcmp_h[0].appendChild(trackcmp);
}
</script>

<?php}

add_action(‘wp_footer’, ‘my_custom_footer_output’);
// =============================================================================

Did I do it right? Or did am I supposed to add a ?> at the end?

I get this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in /home/content/p3pnexwpnas14_data01/21/3063521/html/wp-content/themes/x-child/functions.php on line 48

I can’t navigate anywhere on the wordpress admin now cos this error keeps coming up.

My website is totally down now http://www.cloudio.one

Delete the code from your custom child theme functions doc and the theme should reload.

[josephk99997]

Site back up again; code deleted. But still need to add that script to the footer. How do I proceed?

Hi there,

You should have fixed that by following the error message. It seems you have placed an unwanted ending and curly brace <?php}. Let’s remove this to get expected result.

Thanks!

Here is the correct code:

// Add script to the footer
// =============================================================================

function my_custom_footer_output() {
?>

<script type=”text/javascript”>
var trackcmp_email = ”;
var trackcmp = document.createElement(“script”);
trackcmp.async = true;
trackcmp.type = ‘text/javascript’;
trackcmp.src = ‘//trackcmp.net/visit?actid=251724499&e=’+encodeURIComponent(trackcmp_email)+’&r=’+encodeURIComponent(document.referrer)+’&u=’+encodeURIComponent(window.location.href);
var trackcmp_s = document.getElementsByTagName(“script”);
if (trackcmp_s.length) {
trackcmp_s[0].parentNode.appendChild(trackcmp);
} else {
var trackcmp_h = document.getElementsByTagName(“head”);
trackcmp_h.length && trackcmp_h[0].appendChild(trackcmp);
}
</script>

<?php
}

add_action( ‘wp_footer’, ‘my_custom_footer_output’, 99999 );

?>

I will test later if the script is actually tracking anything and report back.

Glad to know you were able to figure it out. Have a nice day!

[josephk99997]

The script is not tracking anything. I think the code I added is wrong.

Please let me know exactly how to add a script to the footer of every page while working within the child theme. thanks!

The code was added successfully in your footer (see attachment). It might be a problem with your code. Please contact the code provider for further investigation.

Thanks.

[josephk99997]

You’re absolutely 100% correct…thanks! All working perfectly now 🙂

[Christian]

You’re welcome.
