Frequently Asked Questions
Why isn’t the output displaying?
Two possibilities: First, you haven’t yet specified the ID in the admin panel, or second, your theme is missing a <?php wp_footer(); ?> call.

Works Great After Update
I know there's been a lot of frustration with this plugin in the past, but after making the plugin author aware of Google's change to how the Tag Manager scripts should be loaded, he's updated the plugin and it works great.
I've tested version 1.0.2 of the plugin by dynamically injecting a Google Analytics script through the Google Tag Manager (which didn't work properly in version 1.0.1) and it now works perfectly!

Love it
Does what it says, inserts just the GTM code at the right time at the right location.
Fell in love with the simplicity of this plugin, wonder why it does not show up in top when looking for GTM plugin for WP.
Had to mess around with so many other plugins before I found it. All other related plugins are too complex, and slows down the site as well. This plugin does what its supposed to do and nothing else :)
"LESS is MORE"
Kudos to the author for such a beautiful implementation.
One suggestion though, if there would have been a single "do_action" with some custom action, before printing the GTM code, could make it easier to add some custom JS variables, if needed, to pass along to GTM, rather than printing them at wp_head with priority 9.
