For this video we will be using the Insert Headers and Footers plugin that WPBeginner maintains found here:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/....insert-headers-and-f

With the plugin installed and active, you can go under your Settings, Insert Headers and footers section in your admin area to see the two text areas where you can insert code. The top section is for code that should be in the head of your site while the bottom is for placing code above the end /body tag.

The plugin allows you to make this change and if you update your theme the code modification will stay rather than being overwritten.

Without the plugin, you would manually need to go under Appearance, Theme Editor and choose the files that you want to add the code to. When adding code using this method you will lose any modifications if you update your theme.
