Hi, I’d like to use Pingdom’s “Real User Monitoring” feature on my Alyeska site, which requires pasting a script between the and tags sitewide.

Is there a straightforward way to do this?

Thanks!

Hello Dave,

Where are you supposed to include this in your site?

Sorry, the angle brackets cut out the tags. I’m supposed to include the script between the
```
<head>
```
and
```
</head>
```
tags.

So, you can just hook a function to WordPress’s standard wp_head action from your Child theme’s functions.php something like this:
```
function my_pingdom() {
	?>
	your code from pingdom ...
	<?php
}
add_action( 'wp_head', 'my_pingdom' );
```

Awesome, that worked thank you!

For future versions of Aleskya, would be great to have a text entry box in the theme options where stuff like this, Google Analytics code, etc. could be pasted 🙂

There always was and it has been actually removed with Alyeska 3. This isn’t really “theme territory” and is sort of frowned upon in the community.

There are free plugins on wordpress.org that’ll give you similar functionality, too, where you can copy/paste scripts in through the WP admin to get them inserted.

Ah got it, thanks! Interesting that this isn’t “theme territory,” I’d think otherwise.
