Prepare Your GTM Code

You should receive two GTM code snippets from Google:

• One for the <head> section
• One for immediately after the opening <body> tag

Example GTM Code:

Note:

• If you use a child theme, make edits there to prevent overwriting during theme updates.

Paste this code as high in the <head> of the page as possible:

<!-- Google Tag Manager -->
<script>(function(w,d,s,l,i){w[l]=w[l]||[];w[l].push({'gtm.start':
new Date().getTime(),event:'gtm.js'});var f=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],
j=d.createElement(s),dl=l!='dataLayer'?'&l='+l:'';j.async=true;j.src=
'https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id='+i+dl;f.parentNode.insertBefore(j,f);
})(window,document,'script','dataLayer','GTM-NRLSB6Z');</script>
<!-- End Google Tag Manager -->

The <head> tag would be found in the header.php file.

---

Paste this code immediately after the opening <body> tag:

<!-- Google Tag Manager (noscript) -->
<noscript><iframe src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/ns.html?id=GTM-NRLSB6Z"
height="0" width="0" style="display:none;visibility:hidden"></iframe></noscript>
<!-- End Google Tag Manager (noscript) -->

The <body> tag can also be found in the header.php file.

Sometimes, if the theme is heavily customized, the opening tag could be inside specific templates like:

• page.php (for pages)
• single.php (for posts)
• archive.php (for archive pages)

Verify the connection is working

• Push you changes
• Open your website in a new tab
• Use the Tag Assistant to verify the GTM tag is firing correctly
