Add Code To Head

Intended users: Template Designers, Developer, Admins

If you wish to add any custom HTML to each page’s header, then this plugin is for you.

This is useful for verifying you are the owner of the website to services such as Mailchimp or Google. You can quickly add the verification codes to your page header without having to edit your site’s template.

In general, you can add custom CSS, a link to an external JavaScript file or something else. While it is generally recommended to create a child template if you’re going to make extensive, permanent changes to a template, there may be instances where a small change or two is needed that wouldn’t justify the creation of a child template-or your current template might not support child templates. You should nearly always avoid editing a template directly, because your changes will be lost when you next update the template.

This plugin is not affected by template changes.
