Most of our Joomla 5 templates have a Header & Footer Custom Code tab in the template settings. Code you put there is added to every page, and it stays when you update the template. It is the right place for Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager tags, site verification tags, or a little extra CSS.
Add code to every page
Log in to your Joomla administrator.
Go to System → Site Template Styles.
Click the style of your template (the one with the star is your default).
Open the Header & Footer Custom Code tab. Put code that belongs in the page head (analytics, tag manager, verification tags, a
<style>block) in Insert code into template header, and code that belongs before the closing body tag in Insert code into template footer.
Click Save, then open your site and check that everything still looks and works as it should. Clear Joomla's cache (System → Clear Cache) if you don't see the change.
Good to know
- Code you add here is stored with your template style, so it stays when you update the template.
- Paste code only from sources you trust. A broken script in the header can stop parts of your site working.
- Take a backup before bigger changes, and keep a note of what you added and why.
- For styling changes, see How to add custom CSS to the template.
Almost all of our Joomla 5 templates have this tab. If yours doesn't, contact support.
