* Hello,
* The simplest solution is to add it in header.php and footer.php file. In **header.
php**, you can add it before **** and in **footer.php** you can add the
footer script before ** **
* However, the downside is when the theme is updated, you will need to add the
codes again.

* Yes you can. Created header.php file inside the child theme, copy all the code
of header.php from parent theme and paste it in header.php in child theme. Then
add your code before . This way it won’t be affected even if you update
theme.

* but if i copy ALL the code, this file will entirely replace the original header.
php, and when th eoriginal.php will be updated..i
* will not get update on my site?

* Here’s a better approach.
* In your functions.php, add this code
* ```wp-block-code
function analytics_code() {
?>
add your analytics code here
. The 999 priority ensure that your code
is last thing in the
