Don’t you just hate it when you download a plugin and you find out that in order to use it you have to buy a pro version?

Even bigger problem is when you use a plugin and then just out of the blue the developer decides to add a pro version and he either changes the way the plugin works or he converts some of the free functions to paid ones.

We sure did hate that and a few years back we decided to start creating some of the plugins ourselves and we decided to share them all with the WordPress community 100% FREE.

Nowadays we have more than 15 plugins and you can download and use them all for free by Clicking Here.

If you liked this plugin and you want to help support our cause, buy us a coffee. Studies show that coffee helps with creating WordPress plugins.

Plugin works fine but the lack of functional admin notices buttons is concerning. Will remain a 1 star review until they allow me to dismiss the admin notice in the WordPress admin section.

Having spent hours working through the spiders web of google tags and tag manager and plenty of blind alleys, it has been a breath of fresh air to find something so simple that actually works. I am not a coder and this is perfect for me to get the functions I need without messing about in code or script.

I like simple plugins like this. It's simple enough to satisfy my needs. I just posted two Google Tag manager scripts in <head> and <body> in a few minutes. Thanks a lot!

I'm not that techie so this plugin made it super simple to add additional header tags to my site. Perfect for trying to integrate with other apps that need header codes adding, or adding in your Google tracking codes.
