Is there a way to add code within the head section? Not the headER…but in the head. Before the Body section. I could hard code it in the template files, but I was trying to find a way so the client never has to touch those files. It would be nice for them to be able to do that without any additional plugins or accessing the template files. Their current theme uses Divi and apparently Divi has a way to do that. I couldn’t find it with xStore.

Thanks!

Hello,

You can use https://wordpress.org/plugins/insert-headers-and-footers/ plugin.
Also, you can post the request here – https://www.8theme.com/taskboard/ , then our developers will see it.

They did end up using a plugin. But it’s a simple addition within your theme that could really enhance an already awesome xstore. I’ve gone ahead and submitted a feature request via the link you sent, so thanks for that.

I’m not sure if this is what you need, but for google tag, facebook pixels, and other verification tags and code this works for me.

1. Create a Static Block with the code you want to add. Give it a name you’ll be able to recognise coz you’ll need to select it later.
2. Insert HTML Block to Top Header, and Enable “Use Static Block” for HTML Block 1.
3. Select the Static Block with your code.

Hi Rose, may be 8theme can create a tutorial for this?

Hello, @anandmahey

Thank you for your suggestion but once you change theme you will lose this customization. That’s why we recommend using Insert Headers and Footers plugin because you don’t need to set it up again once you change the theme.

Sometimes there is need to add code inside the head, not in the body. As a developer, of course I have work arounds but a lot of themes I’ve worked with include a place to add items inside the head tag (not the header in the body). It’s a minor but extremely useful addition. Adding plugins or editing the functions file is a last resort. The whole point is to make it easier for my clients who don’t know or want to deal with hard coding things to edit the head area.

I do use static block, for something else though, but that isn’t what I was looking for. Thanks!

Hello, @gdd

This plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/insert-headers-and-footers/ created for such purposes and you won’t lose the code even if you change the theme.
