Page Code Injection
Pixpa gives you the option to add any external script or HTML code to a specific page and add external features to your website. You can also add your own CSS which will be applied to the particular page only. But, we recommend adding custom CSS to the Design section.
When you want to run some background script when anyone visits one of your website pages (i.e, for page analytics), you can enter the script in the code injection.
The code injection is not meant to add any content or custom CSS. For adding content, you can use any menu item that suits your requirements.
Always remember:
- Add CSS code this way:
- <style> Add CSS code </style>
- Add JavaScript code this way:
- <script> Add JS code </script>
Add a script/custom CSS to a page:
- Click on the Settings button (1) to view the page settings.
- Scroll down to the Page Code Injection option (2) and add your custom CSS / script.
- Finally, Save (3) the changes.
