Description
Tracking Code For Google Tag Manager is a simple, lightweight WordPress plugin for inserting your Google Tag Manager tracking code. The plugin does one thing and one thing only; prints the standard Google Tag Manager tacking script to the <head> of your website. To insert your container ID, navigate to Settings > General and then scroll to the bottom of the page.
Composer
composer require claytoncollie/tracking-code-for-google-tag-manager
Filters
If you want to set the container ID without using the wp-admin user interface, use the filter below.
add_filter(
'tracking_code_for_google_tag_manager_id',
/**
* Set Google Tag Manager container ID.
*
* @param string $container_id Container ID.
*
* @return string
*/
function ( $container_id ) {
return 'GTM-7654321';
}
);

FAQ
-
Why did you build this plugin?
-
The plugins I have used in the past to solve this problem have too many features for my liking. This plugin is comprised two functions. One for registering a settings field on the Options General page. And another for printing the tracking code to the frontend. I want a lightweight solution for the websites that I build without all of the extra bells and whistles. If you are expecting this plugin to do more or grow in the future, please do not use it.
-
Where is the tracking code inserted?
-
The tracking code is inserted into the
<head>section. -
Will this plugin slow down my website?
-
No. This plugin is intentionally lightweight. All it does is register a settings field, saves to the database, and then inserts the tracking code. Nothing more.
