HiFi (Head Injection, Foot Injection) Reviews
Works perfectly! 2015 and WP 4.1
Adds fields for header and footer inserts below the page content of individual pages. Perfect!
Great plugin but one feature missing
This plugin works very well. I just think it is too bad it do’est allow to choose a default head/header injection and that it is only on a per-post system.
Such a useful plugin
Was a little put off with the “This plugin has not been updates in 2 years” thing but have no fear! I am using 3.8 and it works perfectly. Such an amazingly useful plugin! LOVE IT!!!!
