How to install Lead Recorder on WordPress

Install the Lead Recorder snippet on any WordPress site using our official plugin, or a general header/footer plugin, no theme editing required.

The easiest way to add Lead Recorder to WordPress is our own plugin: install it, paste your snippet, and you're done. If you'd rather not add another plugin, a general-purpose header/footer plugin works too.

Step 1: Copy your snippet

Log in to your Lead Recorder dashboard, select your site, and copy your tracking snippet.

<script src="https://www.leadrecorder.com/api/script/YOUR_KEY" defer></script>

Option A: The Lead Recorder plugin (recommended)

  1. 1In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Add New and search for Lead Recorder.
  2. 2Install and activate it.
  3. 3Go to Settings > Lead Recorder.
  4. 4Paste your snippet (or just the key) and click Save snippet.

The plugin only stores your tracking key and builds the script tag itself; there's nothing else to configure. It's listed on the WordPress plugin directory (wordpress.org/plugins/search/lead-recorder) and it's open source: github.com/leadrecorder/lead-recorder.

Option B: Insert Headers and Footers plugin

Already using a general-purpose header/footer plugin for other scripts? This works just as well.

  1. 1In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Add New.
  2. 2Search for Insert Headers and Footers by WPBeginner.
  3. 3Install and activate it.
  4. 4Go to Settings > Insert Headers and Footers.
  5. 5Paste your Lead Recorder snippet into the Scripts in Header field.
  6. 6Click Save.

Verify installation

Visit your website, then open your Lead Recorder dashboard. The snippet indicator should go green within a few minutes. You can also right-click your site, select View Page Source, and search for leadrecorder to confirm the script tag is there.

Tip: If you use a caching plugin like WP Super Cache or W3 Total Cache, clear the cache after installing so the snippet goes live immediately.
