Tracking Code For Google Tag Manager is a simple, lightweight WordPress plugin for inserting your Google Tag Manager tracking code.

Frequently Asked Questions
The plugins I have used in the past to solve this problem have too many features for my liking. This plugin is comprised two functions. One for registering a settings field on the Options General page. And another 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.
The tracking code is inserted into the <head> section.
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.
