is a WordPress hook that is used to inject code or scripts into the footer section of a WordPress website. It is one of the core hooks in WordPress and is typically included in the theme’s footer.php
file.
The wp_footer
hook is called at the end of the HTML document, just before the closing </body>
tag. It is often used to add JavaScript or other tracking codes that need to be included in the footer of the website.
Here’s an example of how to use wp_footer
hook to add Google Analytics tracking code to your WordPress website:
function add_google_analytics() {
?>
<!-- Google Analytics tracking code -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=GA_MEASUREMENT_ID"></script>
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('js', new Date());
gtag('config', 'GA_MEASUREMENT_ID');
</script>
<!-- End Google Analytics tracking code -->
<?php
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'add_google_analytics');
In this example, we’ve created a function called add_google_analytics
that contains the Google Analytics tracking code. We then use the add_action
function to register this function with the wp_footer
hook.
This code will add the Google Analytics tracking code to the footer of every page on your WordPress website.
