I want to modify changes to my header.php file. I downloaded it from the parent theme and then uploaded header.php to child theme. I added a script and it wasn’t showing.

It worked when I added the script under my parent theme but this is not what I want. Please advise.

Please, contact administrator
for this information.

Hello,
have you included header.php file to your child theme?

Please read here how to do it right:

From my understand, I already did what is expected: Download header.php and upload header.php into child theme folder.

No luck. Please advise.

Under child theme’s file header.php file, I have added this script in head section, right before </head> closes:

<script type=”text/javascript”>var $zoho= $zoho || {salesiq:{values:{},ready:function(){$zoho.salesiq.floatbutton.visible(“hide”);}}};var d=document;s=d.createElement(“script”);s.type=”text/javascript”;s.defer=true;s.src=”https://salesiq.zoho.com/livskin/float.ls?embedname=livskin”;t=d.getElementsByTagName(“script”)[0];t.parentNode.insertBefore(s,t);</script>

After I save it, I view my sources and do not see it there. But when I add it under header.php in Parent theme, it does show. Lmk if that make sense.

Hello,

I’ve activated child theme and I see the script in source code:
