To add Google AdSense code after the <head> tag in WordPress, you can use a plugin or edit the theme files directly. Here’s a step-by-step guide for both methods:

1- Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
2- Go to “Plugins” and click on “Add New“.
3- Search for the “Insert Headers and Footers” plugin.
4- Install and activate the plugin.
5- Once activated, go to “Settings” and click on “Insert Headers and Footers“.
6- In the “Scripts in Header” section, paste your AdSense code.
7- Click on the “Save” button to save your changes.
Method 2: Editing the Theme Files (manual method)
1- Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
2- Go to “Appearance” and click on “Theme Editor“.
3- On the right-hand side, you’ll see a list of theme files. Look for “header.php“, “wp-header.php“, “head.php” or “wp-head.php” and click on it.
