Hi

I would like to add the Google remarketing Tag to my site. I understand that this is best to out in the functions.php file of a child theme. I have a child theme set up and have looked at this file. I have also been told it needs to go just before the </body> tag, which I can not see in this file.

Can you please assist me in this.

Thanks

Craig

PS, I have already added a Facebook tracking pixel to the above mentioned page.

Hello Craig,

Thanks for posting in.
Please add this on your functions.php file:

function my_googleremark_footer_output() {  ?>

<!–- Google Code for Remarketing Tag goes here -–>

<?php }

add_action( 'wp_footer', 'my_googleremark_footer_output', 99 );

Hope this helps.

I already have the Facebook tracking pixel in this file, so have just put this code directly below it, separated by one blank line – is that ok?

I assume that by putting it in the functions.php file, it is effectively inserted everywhere on the site then?

Thanks

Craig

I have just used Google’s Tag Assistant, and it says that this tag needs to be placed above the closing body tag, but there are no body tags that I can see in the functions.php file

What can be done about this?

Hello Craig,

If the facebook tracking pixel code is also added in wp-footer, that is fine to add. Something like this:

function thirdparty_tracking_code() {  ?>

<!–- FB tracking code -–>

<!–- Google Code for Remarketing Tag goes here -–>

<?php }

add_action( 'wp_footer', 'thirdparty_tracking_code', 99 );

The add_action indicated where the code is added. In this case, it is on wp-footer that indicates before closing of body tag. See this:https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/wp_footer

Hope this helps.
