## Getting Started

For this tutorial we're going to install the FullContact webtag directly using the Wordpress Theme Editor.

> 📘 There are multiple options for installation
>
> The two most common methods to install the webtag on Wordpress are logging into your administrative area and using the Theme Editor or installation using [Google Tag Manager](https://docs.fullcontact.com/docs/google-tag-manager).
>
> If those options are not available to you for one reason or another, you can install our webtag using a Wordpress **code / snippet management plugin**. There are many third party plugins available to use, a couple of options are:
>
> - [WPCode](https://wordpress.org/plugins/insert-headers-and-footers/)
> - [Simple Custom CSS and JS](https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-js/)

### Pre-requisites

You must have generated a webtag in the [FullContact platform](https://platform.fullcontact.com/developers/recognition/configuration), and copied the code for that webtag.

You can generate the webtag from within **[Configuration > Generate the Tag](https://platform.fullcontact.com/developers/recognition/configuration)**.

### Step 1 - Access your theme files

Login to your Wordpress website, and go to **Appearance > Theme File Editor**.

Open the footer.php file, or the equivalent template file for your footer used for your particular theme.

**Note:** You can install the script in the header (within `<head>` tags) or the footer of your website. It's typically best practice to install the webtag in the **footer** for page load / performance considerations.

### Step 2 - Paste webtag into your file

Paste your webtag code just before your closing **body** tag. See the screenshot below.

Your installation would look something like this in your footer template file.

### Step 3 - Save your changes

Click **Update File** to save your changes to the file.

### Step 4 - Verify your installation

Now that your Wordpress installation should be complete, you can verify that everything is setup correctly.

Head back to the FullContact platform and go to [Configuration > Verify Install](https://platform.fullcontact.com/developers/recognition/configuration) to check and make sure your tag is setup correctly.

**Note**: When you verify your install, if you have an ad blocker or a consent manager platform the test will verify. That doesn't mean that your installation isn't done correctly, only that the test feature won't work for your website.

## You're Done!

Great! Now you've installed the FullContact tag on your Wordpress website.

You will start to see data populate within the FullContact platform over the next 24-48 hours.
