🔗 Custom Head — Add HTML, scripts, and meta tags to your forum's head section

Hey everyone!

I built this extension because I needed to add Google Tag Manager to my forum, which requires placing a script in the <head> section. I couldn't find a built-in way to do this in Flarum 2.0, so I made one.
Custom Head adds a simple textarea in the admin panel where you can paste any HTML, scripts, or meta tags to be injected into the <head> of every page. No code editing needed.

Common use cases: Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, analytics scripts, custom meta tags, verification tags, or any other head snippet.

📦 Installation

composer require dashzeveg/flarum-custom-head
php flarum cache:clear

🔄 Update

composer require dashzeveg/flarum-custom-head
php flarum migrate
php flarum cache:clear

Then enable it in your admin panel, paste your HTML into the textarea, and save.

In the Appearance tab of the settings, there’s an option to add custom code to the forum header. For example, I added Yandex Metrica code there

I'm all for the Flarum community creating extensions to fill gaps, needs and so on, but this particular extension does make me wonder why it even exists, as we already have a long standing extension that does this already? https://discuss.flarum.org/d/25907-html-head-items

This seems to do exactly the same, but without validation or caching? Unless I'm missing something?

Capybara The Custom Header in the Appearance tab of the settings adds custom code to the body section instead of the head section.

IanM You raise a fair point. I wasn’t actually aware of the existing HTML Head Items extension before this, so thanks for mentioning it.
