How do I add TapCub to WordPress?

Get your snippet

Copy your snippet from Web analyticsConfigurationSDK code. It already contains your site key and looks like this:

<script defer src="https://static.pathclue.com/client.js" data-site="YOUR_SITE_KEY"></script>

Make sure the domain visitors use is listed on the same page. Subdomains of a listed domain are accepted automatically; hits from any other host are dropped.

Option 1: a header-code plugin

1. Install a header and footer code plugin. Any plugin that adds code to every page works, for example WPCode. Many themes also have a “header scripts” box under their own settings.
2. Paste the snippet into the site-wide header field. Use the global header, not a per-post or per-page field, so every page carries the tag.
3. Save, then clear your page cache. See the caching note below.

Option 2: a child theme

If you maintain a child theme, add the tag through the wp_head hook in its functions.php. This works for classic and block themes, and survives parent theme updates:

add_action( 'wp_head', function () {
  echo '<script defer src="https://static.pathclue.com/client.js" data-site="YOUR_SITE_KEY"></script>';
} );

Do not edit the parent theme’s header.php directly: the next theme update overwrites it. Block themes have no header.php at all.

Caching and script optimisation

Caching plugins keep serving the old HTML until you clear the cache, so a freshly added tag may not appear for a while. Clear it once after saving.

Some performance plugins can delay JavaScript until the visitor interacts with the page. With that on, visitors who read and leave without scrolling or clicking are never counted. Add client.js to the plugin’s exclusion list. Combining or minifying it into another file is not needed; it is already small and loads with defer.

Confirm it works

Open your site in a normal browser window, not one where you are testing a privacy extension, and watch Web analyticsRealtime. The visit appears within a few seconds. If it does not, check that data is arriving step by step.
