Let’s see what are the meanings of all those options:

  • Description. A shot description of your code. Something like ‘My banner’ or ‘Google Analitics’.
  • Status. There are two options:
    • Active. Include code will be shown.
    • Disabled. Include code will not be shown.
  • Location. Here you can select area of the page where your code will appear. Possible locations are:
    1. Header (between <head></head> tags). Suitable for placing meta tags like Google Webmaster Tools ID, css or javascript code. Do not place here html code for visual output like <div>Hello</div>.
    2. Footer (bottom of the page). Suitable for placing any type of code. For expample this is a right place for Google Analitics code.
    3. Before page content (before WP loop). Suitable for any types of advertisement.
    4. After page content (after WP loop). Suitable for any types of advertisement.
    5. Before post content. Suitable for any types of advertisement.
    6. After post excerpt (since version 2.0.0).
    7. After post content. Suitable for any types of advertisement.
    8. Widget. Suitable for inserting advertisement blocks to the sidebar. Widget must be activated on the Appearance->Widgets page.
      • There is a sub option for Widget location — Widget title. This title is only for public pages. If no title provided, only widget include code will be displayed.
    9. Manual. This option allows you to place php function directly in your theme file.
    10. Shortcode. Insert code inside page or post content.

      Code Insert Locations

      Code Insert Locations

  • Priority. This field determines display order of the includes placed in the same location. Field value must be integer. Includes with equal priorities are sorted by creation time. Newer includes will be displayed after older. If you set priority to 0 or leave it empty, after saving include priority value will become equal to 100. This is done to create include with priority ‘always first’ and ‘always last’. To make include always first set priority to 1 and make sure that there are no other includes with this priority in the same location. To make include always last set priority higher than 100 (for example 1000). Now all new includes with undefined priority will be placed between ‘always first’ and ‘always last’.
  • Include on. Here you can select pages where your code CAN be shown. To select multiple pages or deselect page hold CTRL key. WordPress pages, posts pages, categories pages and tag pages can be selected one by one. Also there are several special page selectors:
    • All. That means all public pages.
    • Front page. Whether it is posts or a Page. Sub pages also belong to the front page. To exclude subpages select `Paged pages` in Exclude on section.
    • WP pages. These are WordPress Pages, not any generic webpage from your blog.
    • Posts pages. All post pages.
    • Date pages. These are all date-based archive pages (i.e. a monthly, yearly, daily or time-based archive).
    • Category pages. All Category archive pages.
    • Tag pages. All Tag archive pages.
    • Author pages. All author pages.
    • Attachment pages. All attachment pages.
    • Paged pages. All pages being displayed as «paged». This refers to an archive or the main page being split up over several pages. Only second and subsequent pages are considered «paged». This does not refer to a Post or Page whose content has been divided into pages using the nextpage QuickTag.
    • Search page. Any search result page.
    • Preview page. Single post page displayed in Draft mode.
    • Page 404. Paged displayed when ‘HTTP 404 Page not found’ error happens.
  • Exclude on. Here you can select pages where your code CANNOT be shown. Multiple select can be done by holding CTRL key.
  • Hide from admin. Since version 2.0 this option upgraded to Hide from user. Now you can specify user groups to hide code from.
  • Code. Html, css or javascript code. Inclusion of PHP code supported since version 1.1.0. PHP code must begins with `php open tag` (<?php). Examples:
    PHP only
<?php // php open tag is required
echo 'WP variable: ';
print_r($GLOBALS['wp']);
//  php close tag is not required

PHP and html

<h1>Hello!</h1>
<?php echo 'PHP!' ?>
<h2>Bye!</h2>
  • Sub option Align (since version 1.1.0). Allows you to set horizontal align of the included code. Useful for aligning Google AdSense blocks.

A few words about settings page interface.
You can select table columns which will be displayed and can change number of table rows per page. To do this go to Screen options menu.

Also if Include options window is taking to much place you can minimize it by clicking on the window top bar (see screen shot above).

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. How many Includes may I create?

    The number of Includes is unlimited.

  2. What is ‘Widget title’ option?

    This option allows you to specify widget title for public WordPress pages. It will be displayed like Categories or Tags widget titles.
    If you leave this option blanc, widget will be displayed without title.

  3. I have set priority to 0 or left it blanc, but after saving it equals 100. Why?

    This is done to help you create Include with priority ‘always first’ and ‘always last’. To make Include always first set priority to 1 and make sure that there are no other includes with this priority in the same location. To make include always last set priority higher than 100 (for example 1000). Now all new includes with undefined priority will be placed between ‘always first’ and ‘always last’.

  4. Why Widget and Manual Includes priority is always 100 and I can’t change it?

    Widget and Manual Includes don’t use priority number for sorting. Don’t worry about it.

  5. In wich order sorted Includes with equal priorities?

    Equal priority Includes are sorted by creation time. Newer includes will be displayed after older.
