I got an email from HubSpot saying I was just “one step” away from something. I’m not sure what, as I haven’t been working on the CRO course for a couple of weeks now. Nevertheless, it seemed an important part of marketing, so I copied the tracking code and looked through my WordPress homepage for the \</body\> tag the instructions said I needed to put the code just before. Except..no such tag seems to exist in the text tab of my home page. Any ideas what to do now?

Windows 7

Firefox (updated version)

Thanks!

Hi @jamesdean16

The body tags are normally in the header.php file rather than in the page itself.

You may find it easier to use a script insertion plugin to add the tracking code, rather than editing your php files.

Hope this helps.
