Overview
The Metronet Tag Manager plugin for WordPress enhances the integration of Google Tag Manager (GTM) into your website by simplifying the process of managing tracking scripts and dataLayer variables. This plugin allows users to efficiently set macros and firing rules for almost any website element, making it easy to add multiple dataLayer variables on a per-post or per-page basis. It also supports the addition of HTML event handlers and unique IDs or classes to content links using the GTM TinyMCE button in the WYSIWYG editor. Although it requires a minor customization to add the necessary script after the opening body tag, the plugin provides a seamless way to leverage GTM’s capabilities without needing extensive coding access. This tool is ideal for users looking to centralize their tracking scripts and enhance their site’s analytics through effective tag management and data layer interaction.
Centralized Script Management
- Gather most of your tracking scripts in one place.
- Fire scripts based on rules you set up.
Enhanced DataLayer Control
- Easily add as many dataLayer variables per-post and per-page basis as needed.
- Six predefined dataLayer variables available for testing and customization.
- Set up separate dataLayer variables for non-post/page content like archives.
Simplified Event Handling
- Easily add an HTML event handler to any content link with the GTM TinyMCE button in the WYSIWYG.
- Add unique ID or class to each content link with the GTM TinyMCE button.
Compatibility and Customization
- Requires slight customization to load scripts correctly.
- Provides code snippets to help theme developers make their themes compatible.

My go to when getting Google Tag Manager set up on a clients site. Very simple and have had no problems setting it up on any of my wordpress sites. I prefer this plugin over similar plugins due to its simplicity and has been more secure than others.
While it is simple, don’t assume it can’t handle the bigger projects. It allows the more robust tracking methods and practices some clients need that other plugins simply don’t offer.
Just be sure to follow the installation instructions and you will be good to go!

The plugin is helpful with installing Google Tag Manager. Works on WordPress multisite websites. The plugin is simple, straightforward, and more secure than a simple “insert headers or footers” plugin.

I could not verifie the search console via tag manager using this plugin. It places the code in the wrong place. Maybe i did something wrong, but it’s something you should look in to.
