* Hello, we are having an issue where we needed to add Jquery code to our website
for a plug-in to work correctly. I added the jquery code to our header.php file
which allowed the plug-in for this form to work. However, the jquery code is
now pushing what seems to be HTMl code or short codes to the bottom of the page
on our live site. When I remove the jquery code the HTML code at the bottom goes
away, but the plug-in does not work anymore.
* Has anyone else had this problem?

* Hello [@arubin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arubin/),
* Thanks for reaching out!
* As I can see, you do not have a child theme active on your site, so you modified
the header.php file of the parent theme. Note that modifying files of parent
themes is not recommended as all modifications are lost once the theme is updated.
So, if you’d like to have customized theme files, you should have a child theme.
* Regarding the broken code – I highly recommend you remove the code from the theme
file and use **[this](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-headers-and-footers/) **
plugin instead. That way the code will be properly added and a child theme is
not required.
* Kindly try adding the code using the above-mentioned plugin and do not hesitate
to let me know how it went. 🙂
