Manually add to every page?

  • annestahl,

    Adding the same conversion pixel to every page is not recommended. Please read this thread for more information: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/dont-understand-need-to-add-pixel-page-by-page#post-

    With the new ‘single pixel’ can I place the pixel code in the <head> (or similar for the theme settings), and then add the Add Conversion Tracking ‘Event Code’ to the relevant pages using your plugin?

    By Event Code I mean: fbq(‘track’, ‘AddToCart”);

    ^^ Would really like to know this as well. Thanks in advance for any answers Kellen!

    In theory you should be able to paste the main tracking script in between the <head> tag.

    Then w/ this plugin you can then paste the Conversion Tracking ‘Event Code’ in the meta box this plugin provides.

    I would recommend to the author to modify the plugin to have a general option to add the main tracking script on all pages, then use the meta box to add the Conversion Tracking ‘Event Code’.

    Yes! I agree with ohshibby44. With the new pixel, this needs to change.

    Has the suggestion been implemented following the suggestion made a month ago by ohshibby44 ?

    Do you guys recommend inserting manually the Facebook Pixel Code in footer.php for a simpler solution?

    For those looking for a quick way to manually add the same facebook pixel to every page, you can to the following:

    1. Paste the code below into a text editor (notepad on Windows, TextEdit on Mac, etc.) and replace the “PASTE CONVERSION PIXEL CODE HERE” text with the facebook pixel code you want to use. Make sure to copy the entire thing!
    2. Save the file as “insert-facebook-pixel-on-every-page.php” and upload it to the wp-content/plugins folder on your website, where all the plugins live.
    3. From the Dashboard, go to Plugins > Installed plugins and activate the plugin.
    4. Let the good times roll.

";
echo $fb_pxl_code;
}
add_action( 'wp_head', 'fb_pxl_insert_pixel_on_every_page' );

    tektonik.com FYI – Sometimes including scripts in the footer is advantageous since it allows the main page content to load first so your visitors see it more quickly, then the script is loaded after that. In this case though, Facebook Pixels are loaded asynchronously, so there’s no speed difference between inserting the code in the header vs. the footer. In Facebook’s documentation, they recommend inserting it in the header, hence the reason I hooked the code to ‘wp_head’ in the plugin code above.

    Thanks for the load all the time plugin! Exactly what I was looking for ??

    I tried this and got the following error:

    “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘PageView’ (T_STRING) in /nas/content/live/coolpvsolar/wp-content/plugins/insert-facebook-pixel-on-every-page.php on line 23”

    Any idea why this happens?

    @fafconetadmin change ” with ‘
    ex:
    fbq(‘track’, ‘PageView’);
    </script>
    <noscript><img height=’1′ width=’1′ style=’display:none’
    src=’https://www.facebook.com/tr?id=454545454545&ev=PageView&noscript=1&#8242;
    /></noscript>

    Thanks much for the insert-facebook-pixel-on-every-page plugin, Kellen.

    I got the same parse error as @fafconetadmin but the fix by @manucnx (change those double quotations with single quotations) worked for me. Thanks, @manucnx.

    It should also be noted that this enabled the code not just for pages but for posts, too.
