 * Hallo [@stefanocps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stefanocps/),
 * you can use the hooks: **wp_head** and **wp_footer** and .`**wp_body_open**`
   
   You can add this Code to your functions.php in your Child Theme. For example:**
   Header**
 * `add_action('wp_head', function() {
    // Your HTML Code / Example?> <script type
   ="text/javascript" src="https://wordpress.org/your-files.js"></script><?php });
 * **Footer**
 * `add_action('wp_footer', function() {
   // Your HTML Code / Example?><script type
   ="text/javascript" src="https://wordpress.org/your-files.js"></script><?php});
 * **Body**
 * `add_action( 'wp_body_open', function() {`
    `?>` `<script>// Your script code
   here</script><``?php});`

   you code from the functions.php here ? Than I can help you 🙂 
   Make sure that
   the beginning of the functions.php is beginning with` <?php` and than to add 
   and customize your Code.

 * Ok, in the Pro Version of Elementor you can add Custom Header / Footer Code inside
   the settings.
 * The debug.log you can find under /wp-content/debug.log
   See this documentation:

 * That’s no problem 🙂 The debug.log is one of the part of WordPress.
 * The Pro Version allows you to add code to WP Head and Footer from the Backend.
   But first I need to see the debug.log or the error message. Than I can help you.
