Snippet locations
Location rules control where WordPress loads a snippet. Match the narrowest scope that still does the job, then refine with display conditions.
- Run Everywhere — public frontend (not wp-admin by default)
- Frontend Only — public site, not wp-admin
- Site Header — output in
wp_head - Site Body — before/after content hooks
- Site Footer — output before closing body
- Shortcode Only — runs only when shortcode is placed
- Admin Only — wp-admin contexts when supported for the snippet type
- Specific Page — narrow to selected pages via display condition chips
Tip
- Prefer Frontend Only or footer placement for analytics scripts.
- Use Admin Only only when the snippet is intentionally for wp-admin.
