Description

WP Smart Content is the easiest way to inject scripts, styles, HTML, and tracking code into WordPress headers, footers, and block hooks — all without editing theme files. Whether you need to add Google Analytics, marketing tags, custom CSS, or JavaScript snippets, this plugin provides a safe, central dashboard to manage reusable content blocks.

Each block can be named, stored in the WordPress database, and targeted to specific posts, pages, or applied globally across your site. With support for both Classic Hooks and the new WordPress 6.8 Block Hooks, WP Smart Content is future‑proof, flexible, and designed for modern WordPress sites.

Behind the scenes, WP Smart Content injects your HTML, JavaScript, or CSS styles into the selected WordPress hook — whether a classic theme hook or a Block Hook — ensuring your content appears exactly where you want it, without modifying template files. This approach keeps your site secure, SEO‑friendly, and easy to maintain.

Key Features

Classic Hooks support: Add content to ‘wp_head’, ‘wp_footer’, ‘wp_print_styles’, ‘wp_print_scripts’, ‘wp_meta’, and ‘wp_print_footer_scripts’.
Block Hooks support (WordPress 6.8+): Inject content anywhere in the theme using the block editor UI.
Grouped dropdowns: Clear separation between Classic Hooks and Block Hooks in the admin interface.
Global targeting: Apply blocks to all content types, not just posts or pages.
Safe/Raw Mode toggle: Admins can enable Raw Mode for advanced HTML/JS injection or restrict to Safe Mode for safety.
Translation ready: Includes updated ‘.pot’ file with all strings for localization.
Reviewer‑friendly architecture: Modularized code, clear documentation, and compliance with WordPress coding standards.

Use Cases

Add a script to the ‘<head>’ section without editing theme files.
Insert HTML into the ‘<footer>’ for custom notices or widgets.
Push CSS before WordPress outputs styles for precise control.
Inject a notice after post content using Block Hooks.
Manage analytics or marketing tags centrally, without touching templates.

Usage

Usage with Block Snippet

Install and activate WP Smart Content from the WordPress Plugins screen.
Go to WP Smart Content → Add New Bloc in the admin menu.
Enter a block name and paste your HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or tracking code.
Choose where to inject the block:
- Header (wp_head) for scripts or tracking code
- Footer (wp_footer) for notices or widgets
- Before/after post content for banners or messages
- Block Hooks (WordPress 6.8+) for precise placement in the block editor
- Other classic hooks such as wp_print_scripts or wp_meta
Select targeting options:
- Apply globally across the site
- Restrict to specific posts, pages, or custom post types
Save the block. Your content will be automatically injected at the chosen location.
Use the Safe/Raw Mode toggle:
- Safe Mode: Restricts advanced HTML/JS for security
- Raw Mode: Allows full HTML/JS injection for trusted admins
Manage all blocks from the central dashboard. You can edit, enable/disable, publish/unpublish, or delete blocks anytime.
Result: Scripts, styles, or HTML added via injection hook locations in the theme can be easily managed.

Usage with Block UI

Once WP Smart Content is activated, open the Site Editor (Appearance → Editor) for your block theme.
Locate Block Hook areas (header, footer, before/after post content, sidebar).
From the block inserter (+), add the “WP Smart Content” block or select an existing block to edit its injection hook.
Use WP Smart Content settings in the right sidebar (Block tab) to select an injection hook. This links your stored block snippet to the chosen hook.
Save the template. Your snippet will be injected automatically at the chosen location.
Result: Scripts, styles, or HTML are added via the Block UI without editing theme files, fully compatible with block themes.

Installation

Upload ‘wp-smart-content’ to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory.
