Adding the Pockla personalization script to your WordPress site’s <head> section can be done in several ways. Choose the method that works best for you.

​
The Script

<script src="https://cdn.pockla.io/pockla.min.js"></script>
The easiest way is to use a header/footer plugin.
1

Install a Plugin

Install and activate one of these plugins:
  • Insert Headers and Footers (by WPBeginner)
  • WPCode (formerly Insert Headers and Footers)
  • Header Footer Code Manager
2

Add the Script

Go to the plugin’s settings (usually under Settings or Tools)Paste the Pockla script in the Header section:
<script src="https://cdn.pockla.io/pockla.min.js"></script>
3

Save

Click Save to apply changes
Using a plugin ensures the script persists through theme updates.

​
Method 2: Theme Editor

Add the script directly to your theme’s header file.
1

Open Theme Editor

Go to Appearance → Theme File Editor(On older WordPress versions: Appearance → Editor)
2

Find header.php

In the right sidebar, click on header.php (or Theme Header)
3

Add the Script

Find the <head> tag and paste the Pockla script right after it:
<head>
<script src="https://cdn.pockla.io/pockla.min.js"></script>

<?php wp_head(); ?>
4

Update File

Click Update File to save
Theme editor changes will be lost if you update your theme. Use a child theme or a plugin for permanent changes.

​
Method 3: functions.php

Add the script programmatically via your theme’s functions file.
1

Open functions.php

Go to Appearance → Theme File Editor and select functions.php
2

Add the Code

Add this code at the end of the file:
// Add Pockla personalization script
function add_pockla_script() {
    echo '<script src="https://cdn.pockla.io/pockla.min.js"></script>';
}
add_action('wp_head', 'add_pockla_script', 1);
The 1 priority ensures it loads early in the <head>.
3

Update File

Click Update File to save
For permanent changes, add this code to a child theme’s functions.php instead.
