Sometimes you may need to add JavaScript code to your entire website or into specific pages and posts. By default, WordPress does not let you add code directly in your posts. In this article, we’ll show you how to add JavaScript in WordPress pages or posts easily. What is JavaScript?JavaScript is a programming language that runs on the user’s browser, not on your server. This client-side programming allows developers to do a lot of cool things without slowing down your website.

First, you need to install and activate the free WPCode plugin. For more details, see our step-by-step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin. Once activated, you need to go to Code Snippets » Headers & Footer. Here you will see three separate fields labeled ‘Header,’ ‘Body,’ and ‘Footer.’ You can now add your JavaScript code to one of these boxes, and then simply click on the ‘Save’ button. WPCode will now automatically load the code you added to the every page of your website. You can also add code snippets to any other place on your site, such as inside posts or pages. To do this, simply go to Code Snippets » + Add Snippet and then click on ‘Create Your Own.’ You will now see a ‘Create Custom Snippet’ page where you can add a title for your code and paste it into the ‘Code Preview’ box. After that, select ‘JavaScript Snippet’ from the ‘Code Type’ dropdown menu. Then, just scroll until you find the ‘Insertion’ section. All you have to do now is select a ‘Location’ for the code from the dropdown menu. Find ‘Page, Post, Custom Post Type’ and choose where in the page or post you want the code to appear. If you choose to have WPCode insert the snippet before or after a paragraph, you will be able to choose which specific paragraph in the post it will appear before or after. For example, if you put 1 in the ‘Insert Number’ field, the code snippet will appear before or after the first paragraph. Use 2 for the second paragraph, and so on. After that, you just have to click the toggle near the top of the screen to switch to ‘Active,’ and then click ‘Save Snippet’ button beside it.
