Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Groundworx GTM – Simple Insert for Google Tag Manager

No, not if you exclude their role from the settings panel.

The <script> is injected in the <head> using wp_head. The <noscript> fallback is injected after <body> using wp_body_open.

You'll see an admin notice prompting you to update your theme. If your theme doesn’t support wp_body_open, you can manually add it by inserting <?php wp_body_open(); ?> immediately after the opening <body> tag in your theme’s header.php file.

Usually no — most modern themes include wp_head and wp_body_open. But if your theme is older or custom, you might need to add wp_body_open() manually after <body>.
