# Tracking Code For Google Tag Manager

Tracking Code For Google Tag Manager is a simple, lightweight WordPress plugin for inserting your Google Tag Manager tracking code. The plugin does one thing and one thing only; prints the standard Google Tag Manager tacking script in your website. To insert your container ID, navigate to Settings > General and then scroll to the bottom of the page.

### Getting Started

1. Upload `tracking-code-for-google-tag-manager` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. Navigate to Settings > General > scroll to the bottom of the page
4. Insert your container ID
5. Save your changes

### Composer

`composer require claytoncollie/tracking-code-for-google-tag-manager`

### Filters

If you want to set the container ID without using the wp-admin user interface, use the filter below.

```php
add_filter(
'tracking_code_for_google_tag_manager_id',
/**
* Set Google Tag Manager container ID.
*
* @param string $container_id Container ID.
*
* @return string
*/
function ( $container_id ) {
return 'GTM-7654321';
}
);
```

### Frequently Asked Questions

##### Why did you build this plugin?

The plugins I have used in the past to solve this problem have too many features for my liking. This plugin is comprised three functions. One for registering a settings field on the Options General page. And another two for printing the tracking code to the frontend. I want a lightweight solution for the websites that I build without all of the extra bells and whistles. If you are expecting this plugin to do more or grow in the future, please do not use it.

##### Where is the tracking code inserted?

The tracking code is inserted into the `` and `` sections.

##### Will this plugin slow down my website?

No. This plugin is intentionally lightweight. All it does is register a settings field, saves to the database, and then inserts the tracking code. Nothing more.

##### I found a bug. How do I report it?
