Upload `google-tag-manager.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. Go to `Settings` > `General` and set the ID from your Google Tag Manager account. ## FAQ 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 `` call. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3470894eeff709f47c5aac5e8a288b789756a09f8f26e0f4fd13a223d16d6a65? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Hermosura de Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hermosura-de-plugins/)󠁿 [petterbriones](https://profiles.wordpress.org/petterbriones/) January 9, 2021 Otros plugins no me enviarvan al información de Google Analytics 4 pero este en un ratito lo solucionó, es genial y sencillo ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a844c0a2136560d61e1abda63ffec129359d9181f917b1bd5ce58ce90b3a380c? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Super-simple way of adding GTM code](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/super-simple-way-of-adding-gtm-code/)󠁿 [stevehanlon](https://profiles.wordpress.org/stevehanlon/) January 4, 2021 Perfect! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/eb65d65177e61abeeae14159fb5746606cc8132903ffab3122eab776f6452911? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Es simple y funciona](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/es-simple-y-funciona/)󠁿 [Albeiro Ochoa](https://profiles.wordpress.org/albeiro/) June 12, 2020 Sin tantas complicaciones, funciona correctamente ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/27ab4f42c62a1c0407067984b8dd2fce2f9e368dad46d09653713b03aa295ef2? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Love it](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/love-it-1657/)󠁿 [Gagan Deep Singh](https://profiles.wordpress.org/gagan0123/) March 19, 2017 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. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d148023d66726b9ec85fa91114e358db65ad95d22ee248de01bac751cee946d8? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[This just inserts the code right?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/this-just-inserts-the-code-right/)󠁿 [Firelight](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mdc2957/) February 10, 2017 I’m trying to follow some youtube tutorials on GTM. They say to install the code manually, however, I use a child theme and I don’t know how to insert the code via functions php file. There are other GTM plugins, but they have so many options and things I’m afraid they will interfere with the tutorials. From reading the description, it sounds like the only thing your plugin does is insert the GTM code in the correct places. It doesn’t do anything else, am I correct? ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f8ca9cfc2dcd4e94e562b95e95f952ea91c377f83d01a8538939917a889e67e4? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works Great After Update](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-great-after-update/)󠁿 [Micah Wood](https://profiles.wordpress.org/woodent/) January 27, 2017 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!
