DMS 2 Adding Code to Header File

[flourishdesignstudio+ 10]

Hello,

 

I am working on a site that wanted to include a snippet of code (meta property code) in the header file of their site so that they can track their social media properties. Now, this may be obvious but I wanted to confirm before I do anything on their site...

 

Is the place I should put the code under the custom css/less called "DMS Header Scripts Fallback" or is there somewhere else I should add that in?

 

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi,

 

You should be able to add that code there. However, I would always recommend using a child theme and hook to add any snippets. This way, if the script(s) causes any issues you can simply remove the hook.

Thanks Danny!

 

I just want to make sure that I didn't use improper terminology in my message. I think that the term snippet might mean something specific which wasn't what I meant....

 

Our client wants to be able to add this in the header:

 

<meta property="fb:admins" content="100003782032277" />

 

so that their Facebook Insights are linked to their site. Is the "DMS Header Scripts" still the correct place to insert this?

 

Thanks Danny!

As far as I am aware you can add that without the need for custom code, by simply using the WordPress SEO by Yoast plugin. See this article for more information - http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/how-to-add-facebook-open-graph-meta-data-in-wordpress-themes/
