To add code after the body tag in WordPress, you can use the wp_body_open()
function. This function was introduced in WordPress 5.2 and is specifically designed to add content after the opening <body>
tag.
Here’s an example of how to use the wp_body_open()
function to add code after the body tag in WordPress:
- Open your theme’s functions.php file.
- Add the following code to the file:
function my_custom_code() { echo '<!-- Your code here -->'; } add_action( 'wp_body_open', 'my_custom_code' );
- Replace the
<!-- Your code here -->
comment with your own HTML, CSS, or JavaScript code. - Save the functions.php file.
This code creates a new function called my_custom_code()
that echoes your custom code. The add_action()
function is used to add the my_custom_code()
function to the wp_body_open
hook, which ensures that your code is output after the opening <body>
tag.
Note that it’s important to use the wp_body_open()
function instead of the wp_head()
function or any other hook. Using the wp_body_open()
function ensures that your code is placed in the correct location within the HTML structure of the page.
