## Description

**Simple Tracking** adds an admin interface where you can easily add your tracking

#### Custom Code Injection

    ```

    ```

 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Navigate to ‘Simple Tracking’ in your dashboard menu
 4. Enter your tracking IDs and social media URLs

## FAQ

### Where do I find my Google Analytics ID?

Your Google Analytics 4 measurement ID starts with “G-” followed by alphanumeric
characters. Find it in Google Analytics under Admin > Data Streams > your stream
> Measurement ID.

### Where do I find my Meta Pixel ID?

In Meta Events Manager, select your pixel and find the 15-16 digit Pixel ID in the
overview section.

### Does Google Tag Manager require special theme support?

Yes, Google Tag Manager’s body code requires your theme to support the `wp_body_open()`
hook. Most modern themes include this. If not, add `<?php wp_body_open(); ?>` right
after the opening `<body>` tag in your theme’s header.php.

### Can I add custom tracking scripts?

Yes! Version 2.0 adds custom code fields for header, body, and footer. Note: Only
users with the `unfiltered_html` capability can save JavaScript code.
