where do I find body tag on site template?

  • I need to add an amazon code to “the end of the body tag of my site template.” How do i do this in 4.7.5? All the instruction i find online tell me that I should to click on Appearance and then Editor. But when i click on Appearance there is no Editor in the menu. Please tell me step by step on that to click; I’m en editor not a techie.

    Usually, the <body tag is in a themes header.php, but editing code should be your last resort.

    What is it you’re trying to accomplish?

    right, so my next question is where to find the themes header.php.

    I have a code snippet from Amazon that they say to install in your footer but then they also say to put at the end of the body tag of your site template.

    I really need a click A, then B, then C set of directions to find the right spot, but everything I find says to work in “editor” and I don’t have an “editor” on my dashboard.

    If you don’t have editor under appearance (and that’s a GOOD THING), use FTP to find your theme. HOWEVER, if you edit a theme, your edits will be lost when the theme updates. That’s why I’m asking what it is that Amazon wants you to add, because there are probably plugins that do it properly.

    it’s a script to redirect readers from Canada and UK go to their regional amazon sites so i can get $$ from those sales, too. <script src="//z-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/onejs?MarketPlace=US&adInstanceId=ffe55201-bffd-4500-8b61-1524956e9fff"></script>

    I have no idea. Does it work?

    FamiliesGo–I am looking to add Amazon UK and CA code as well–did you have luck? I am not sure where to even find my body tag code on my site in order to add the html code tag Amazon sent me. don’t really want to add another plug in to my site.

    @lettyski, please start a new forum post for your issue rather than jumping into an existing, old thread. Thanks.

    Thanks Steve–will do.
