Add to Header

2010-01-16 @ 14:49

Vita tänder kräver inte att man går till tandläkaren. Det går att göra hemma lika bra, med rätt utrustning. Sådant finns att köpa på nätet, så blek tänderna. Det är inte svårt.

The problem

If you need to add a stylesheet, a javascript file or Google Analytics code you normally need to edit your theme header.php file. If you do that your changes will be overwritten if you upgrade your theme.

The plugin

In short

  • Birth date: 2009-08-15
  • Last updated: 2009-08-15
  • Version: 1.0
  • Tested with version: 2.8
  • Requirements: PHP5

Download

  • Download from: devdevote.com
  • Download from: wordpress.org (coming soon)

Benefits

Add additional code to your header WITHOUT editing your theme:

  • Stylesheets (CSS)
  • Javascript (JS)
  • Google Analytics
  • Metadata
  • Anything else

Example usage

  • Change your downloaded theme visually without changing it, by adding an extra stylesheet. If you update your theme your changes will still be intact.
  • Add Google Analytics without changing your theme. If you update or change your theme, Google Analytics will still be there.

    Can you allow us to add PHP code into the Header via this plugin ?

    I’d want it to be the code executed prior to the tag in the header.

    I am trying put the photo that is in my sidebar into the header but when I use this plugin, the photo doulbes ie its put 2 there, it duplicates them, any idea why this would be?

      I have no idea. The plugin just takes the code written in the textbox and add it to the header through the function wp_head. Check the code again to see if you have written the code two times by mistake?

      By the way, text and photos should not be between the head-tags. It should be somewhere between the body-tags. Scripts, CSS, metadata and so on are head-stuff. Images are not.

    Great! It’s working on the WP-v2.9.1… Thanks.

    This works wonderfully, thanks! But I’m curious…the default placement of an added chunk of code is in front of/above the current header. I’m wondering if there’s a way to place the code directly after the current header…a blog-wide subhead as it were. Something between the header and the content.

    Great idea and serves a real need but wondering if there is a way to have it load after all other plugins so my style include could overwrite previous includes without me modifying their code or my own header file directly. Maybe this is more of a plugin load question…

    …in response to my previous comment, i see that plugin order is determined by plugin name (alpha ordered) so renaming to z_ + name fixed it for me. thanks again for your helpful plugin!

    Any chance you know of an ”add to footer” plugin (or would write one)? It’d be cool if this plugin allowed you to add to the header and the footer in the same plug. Nice work.

    Hi, I like your theme… did you purchase it or is it unique? I am in search of a theme like this for my website but haven’t discovered anything as nice as this.

    Jens,

    Nice work, IMHO.

    Question: If I have already created a header.php file in my child theme, will ATH put its code there or in the WP header.php file? Or, is there a way to direct the plug-in to a specific header.php location?

    Thank you for your time and attention.

    Best,
