adding script to header?

    Hi everyone,

    I am trying to move everything over to the twenty twenty-three theme, but am having an issue with inserting script into the header. Pre-2023, I would have inserted my script into the header.php.

    The script I want is for a GDPR consent; I really don’t want to operate without it, but I want to avoid using plugins where possible – I always felt that code was a better solution.

    Any ideas? Can I modify the header.html instead (although it doesn’t really seem to be meant to load <script>?)

    Thanks

    Rodolfo

    Hey @rnmartinez

    In newer block theme’s the html/php isn’t editable directly in the same way. For what it is worth – that is by design, as adding functionality and scripts isn’t something really designed to be done directly to the theme.

    Whilst I understand the desire to minimize plugins – in this case the actual best practice would be to install a a plugin that lets you inject the script into the site. That same plugin could be used for additional instance in the future (if you needed to add other things to the <head> of the site).

    I’d recommend checking out this plugin:

    Thanks – I was hoping that I was missing something here. I just find with these plugins they could open potential security holes, degrade performance as they upsell or phone home, etc…
