Code placement

[merlojh]

I need to place some Mail Chimp code for a popup in header.php file where or how is the best place to put this?

Home

<script id=”mcjs”>!function(c,h,i,m,p){m=c.createElement(h),p=c.getElementsByTagName(h)[0],m.async=1,m.src=i,p.parentNode.insertBefore(m,p)}(document,”script”,”https://chimpstatic.com/mcjs-connected/js/users/a2bdf4fca1530da6bcf582185/78081308fbe0f0856148e54c8.js&#8221;);</script>

Usually the best place for that script if it is sitewide, is in Advanced Options > Head section Box

Not seeing the popup or anything so guess not working? This is where they say to place it Paste the code into the header.php file on the line before the closing < / head > tag.

Your script is in the Head tag as it should but it is inserted twice.

Have you duplicated the code or inserted in both boxes in the head section?

It should only be inserted once in the top box of the Head section page.

If after that it still does not work, triple check your syntax and troubleshoot with them.

I also see the error message below in the console whcih says the script is failing

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden)

note that the code pasted here had the fancy double quotation marks, and not the standard ascii double quote. Be sure your copy/paste doen’t substitute for the wrong “.

Thanks need to contact Mail Chimp just does not work! John

I changed them the quotation marks still does not work? Do I need to go into the header.php file and do it? John

[scrambler]

This is not about the location. The script is in the right location, but when it is attempting to run, it gives the error

“Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden)”

You need to ask them about that
