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