Thanks for the tutorial. I really appreciate the help. It appears everything is working correctly except I do not see an option tov view data layer in the Google Tag Assistance.. I only see Metadata, code snippet, and URLs.. no option for data layer. Why is that?
Julian I watched lesson 4 on the measure school website and I added in GTM following along with the video....but I want to use the plugin....Do I need to take out the previos information I added in for GTM?
Great tutorial. Thanks Julian. I installed the plugin and chose the custom option. Just one question. My analytics tag is blue when I check in the tag assistant and it says because of a non-standard implementation. I noticed the same with yours in the clip. Is this anything to worry about? should I just choose a manual implementation? Thought please. thanks again
Jean Jensen Not sure what you mean. Yes, if you install it with the plugin you'll still have complete control over your GTM account and will be able to implement your own tags
Hi Julian, I only have a free theme so do not have the theme editor functionality. I assume this means I cannot add the Google Tag Manager code? Many thanks
Hi Julian: This video was extremely helpful. However, I am using a Child Theme and cannot edit the "header.php" file. Do you have any instruction videos for using Google Tag Manager for a Child Theme? I have installed the DuracellTomi's GTM plugin. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Susan (cyberlily design studio)
Question: I was told that if I make any changes in the WP Editor, any changes I make will disappear when WP updates to a new version. Having to install the tag manager code again and again is a hassle. In both methods you have mentioned, we have to make changes in the WP editor... so both options are less than satisfactory. Is there a way to add GTM in the proper place on WP where we can do it once then not have to go back over and over?
Ali Ghaderi Only if you update your theme and your files get replaced you would need to do it again (not every time WP updates). If you would like to even work around that you could use a plugin that automatically inserts it into the head. But that is not the preferred option.
Matt Welch In both cases you want to check if GTM is still installed. There is no save solution here, because GTM is installed beneath the body tag, which, in most themese, doesn't have a hook
GTM Training Thanks for your response and great video. I have several sites and this would be a pain in the butt. Headway has a 2 spot to put code: One goes in the and the other footer which states "Anything here will be inserted before the tag of the website. " These will not be lost when the theme is updated - but Im guessing neither will work.
GTM Training Also - would it be an option to set up a child theme that is not overwritten when the them is updated? Headway has this option - I am not a coder and have not used it - but I just watched a video and it does not look that difficult. Of course I would have to figure out what do do after the child theme was set up LOL
i tried both ways to install GTM but in both ways i get th same results.The GA tag fires successfully but the GTM doesnt. I get an error HTTP response code indicates tag failed to fire: Status 404. This could be due to an empty or un-published container. Where am I going wrong?
Hey Julian, great video as always. Thanks for uploading. I can't find a proper tag in my WordPress. I can only see a symbol? I have no clue about HTML and PHP :)
Every website has a head and body tag. How to put it in place is not always the same. I can't tell you how to do it, because I don't know your theme. You might want to consult a wordpress developer
@ Measureschool Hi Julian, we're interested in purchasing your courses. Just to confirm, the link here - www.udemy.com/user/julianjuenemann/ shows 3 courses. Are these all the available courses that you have? Or you still have more which are not included in the site? Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks!
PartyLasVegasVIP generally yes, but if you mix the GA functionality of the Yoast plugin with the one of the GTM plugin you might run into conflicts, so I would rather choose to use one instead of the other.
We have published an updated version of this video: th-cam.com/video/ppOPx_M74bo/w-d-xo.html
I am new to GTM and the info in this video is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Julian!

Tell me why need a plugin?
Without it, the easier and better?
The problem is that after the update theme, my code is erased.
Vadym Volos that's true. The plugin would give you extra dataLayer information, which you wouldn't need to build in manually

Kaveh Mirza Beigi no, nothing to worry about.
Great vid, thanks.
If I install the plugin and enable it with my GTN-code, will I still be able to make my own tags in GTM (for what ever reason)?

do you have a solution or not ?
i have the same problem.

no, it entirely depends on your theme. You might want to contact the theme developer.

Hello there! Using the tag assistant I noticed I have a duplicate GTM code (I was using the Duracell plug-in). How can I fix it?
delete one of your GA codes / Tags
I am using Headways Themes. If I install Google Tab Manger this way (plugin or manually) will it be ok when the theme is updated?

Where am I going wrong?
Are you deploying GA through GTM? You don't have a published version, that's why you getting the error
Thank you very much
You are welcome!
the code has to be tagged in the home??
Hey Julian, great video as always. Thanks for uploading. I can't find a proper tag in my WordPress. I can only see a symbol? I have no clue about HTML and PHP :)
that's the correct placement.
Can you pls let me knw the procedure of verification on blogger

Can you use google tag manager with yoast pluggin at the same time ?
PartyLasVegasVIP generally yes, but if you mix the GA functionality of the Yoast plugin with the one of the GTM plugin you might run into conflicts, so I would rather choose to use one instead of the other.
