Google tag manager

Can I remove all code in the header.php in the child theme? And add new necessary code.

Hi,

one question about this method of adding GTM.
Is copying the header.php file into the child theme and placing gtm code in there a robust method?
What if in future the structure of the header changes due to theme developments? Could it produce conflicts?
Isn´t it better to install GTM via a function in functions.php in child theme?
For another theme I worked with I had to insert the following code into functions.php to install GTM

function google_tag_head_script() {
?>
<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-XXXXXXX');
</script><?php

}
add_action( 'wp_head', 'google_tag_head_script' );

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

}

add_action('after_body', 'google_tag_after_body_script');

Can we do something similar with enfold?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ismael,

I am not looking to insert just GA code.
I want to implement also other tracking(e.g. fb pixel tracking) and definitely want to manage all tracking via GTM.

So are you saying that one could implement GTM by pasting the code into Enfold > Google Services panel > Tracking Code for GA?
GTM is not GA though. And what about the after body script which needs to use the after_body hook?

I am asking if the code which I proposed above would work for a clean implementation of GTM with Enfold via functions.php in child theme. Do you see any problems with it? If that works then this would be a better solution than copying header.php into child theme, but I might well miss a point here.

Thank you for helping out.

Hi Everyone,

I found a very simple way to install GTM in Enfold using a plugin, I’ve included a link below that explains everything.
I could not believe how simple this was.

Watch the video (the first part explains what to do on the Google side), it walks you through the entire process.

Enjoy (and hope this was helpful),

David
