Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Add Code To Head

The plugin now normalizes and sanitizes saved head code for users who do not have the unfiltered_html capability before it is stored, closing the stored XSS vector described in CVE-2025-48314 for untrusted roles. Site owners who intentionally grant unfiltered_html (such as administrators on single-site installs) still bypass this sanitization by design so they can insert arbitrary code. Bottom line: the vulnerability of executing arbitrary code in the admin screens should be eliminated, however the functionality exists for public pages and is intentional. Only advanced users who know what they are doing should use this plugin.

Another plugin or the theme is adding their own codes to the head after this plugin runs.

You can, but you shouldn't. It is far too easy to break your site if you don't know what you are doing. Q. Wordfence says something like "A potentially unsafe operation has been detected in your request to this site." If you try to add a script or some other potentially-dangerous code (even if it isn't), Wordfence might complain. Double check your code and if it is okay, mark it as a false positive in Wordfence. Q. Help! I messed up my whole site! Disable the plugin. If your site is still messed up, then there's some other problem.

The problem lies in whatever you typed/pasted into this plugin's option screen. If you're really stuck, then try clearing out the code and starting over. Q. Help! I accidentally erased the code and I didn't mean to do that. Similar to how widgets work, that data is stored in your database. If you made a backup before you deleted the data, then you can restore it that way, otherwise it is gone.

Right now you cannot. If there is sufficient demand, then we'll add it.

Absolutely!
