Head, Footer and Post Injections
Head, Footer and Post Injections
Description
Why you have to install 10 plugins to add Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, custom
tracking code, Google DFP code, Google Webmaster/Alexa/Bing/Tradedoubler verification code and so on…
With Header and Footer plugin you can just copy the code those services give you
in a centralized point to manage them all. And theme independent: you can change your theme
without loosing the code injected!
Injection points and features
- in the page section where most if the codes are usually added
- just after the tag as required by some JavaScript SDK (like Facebook)
- in the page footer (just before the tag)
- recognize and execute PHP code to add logic to your injections
- distinct desktop and mobile injections
AMP
A new AMP dedicated section compatible with AMP plugin lets you to inject specific codes in
AMP pages. Should be ok even with other AMP plugins.
Post Top and Bottom Codes
Do you need to inject a banner over the post content or after it? No problem. With Header and
Footer you can:
- Add codes on top, bottom and in the middle of posts and pages
- Differentiate between mobile and desktop (you don’t display the same ad format on both, true?)
- Separate post and page configuration
- Native PHP code enabled
- Shortcodes enabled
Special Injections
- Just after the opening BODY tag
- In the middle of post content (using configurable rules)
- Everywhere on template (using placeholders)
bbPress
The specific bbPress injections are going to be removed. Switch to my
Ads for bbPress, which is more flexible and complete.
Limits
This plugin cannot change the menu or the footer layout, those features must be covered by your theme!

I've been using this a few years and I really appreciate the efficiency of it.
A trusted plugin for quick fixes.

This is a great plugin for when you need something a little less common added to your site, like a custom cookie function, or even some off the beaten track analytics etc.
Major Security Issue — Plugin Compromised My Website
By evamr99 on June 12, 2025
The plugin was working fine, but suddenly one day it corrupted my website. It started appearing as dangerous on Google search, with warnings about fraud, and eventually began showing ads instead of my actual site content. I thought it was malware, so I restored backups, but the problem persisted. I then decided to deactivate all plugins and reactivate them one by one, until I got to this one and realized it was the culprit. It gave me a huge scare and cost me a lot of time. I will not be using this plugin again.
