    I’m trying to install Google Tags on a website. Previous questions to you all seemed to ask only about adding a single section of code, but now Google wants two sections of code added.
    Their instructions for the first set of code is:
    Paste this code as high in the <head> of the page as possible:
    Their instructions for the second set of code is:
    Additionally, paste this code immediately after the opening <body> tag:
    I tried to follow this forum thread to add my code, but it just broke the site…
    https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/wherehow-to-install-google-tag-manager-code-using-child-theme/
    Can you give me some idea how it should go? From the above link I understand it goes in the functions.php file in my child theme, but any further assistance would be appreciated.

    And, just out of curiosity, is there a better way of doing this than via the functions.php file in my child theme?

    Thanks.

    Hi There,

    Thanks for writing in!

    To place the code in the <head> of the page, add the code below on your child theme’s functions.php file.

    add_action('wp_head','my_code1', 1);
function my_code1 () { ?>

<!-- PASTE YOUR CODE HERE --> 

<?php }

    Then this one is immediately after the opening <body> tag, also add this on your child theme’s functions.php file.

    add_action('x_before_site_begin','my_code2');
function my_code2 () { ?>

<!-- PASTE YOUR second CODE HERE --> 

<?php }

    Hope it helps, Cheers!
