**Developers**

If you prefer to add directly to functions.php, or in your own method, the following code can act as a guideline.

```
/**
* Add this code to functions.php
* Note: This code is for example purposes only, you may need to modify it to work with your site.
*/

add_action('wp_footer', 'add_protect_my_courses_footer_code');

function add_protect_my_courses_footer_code() {

if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {

$user = wp_get_current_user();

?>
<script>

    window.dsSettings = {
        appId: 'REPLACE WITH YOUR APP ID',
        name: '<?php echo "{$user->first_name} {$user->last_name}"; ?>',
        email: '<?php echo $user->user_email; ?>',
        hmac: '<?php echo hash_hmac("sha256", $user->user_email, "REPLACE WITH YOUR SECRET"); ?>'
    };
    !function(){var t=window,e=document,a=function(){var t=e.createElement("script");t.type="text/javascript",t.async=!0,t.src="https://www.protectmycourses.com/js/ds.js";var a=e.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];a.parentNode.insertBefore(t,a)};"complete"===document.readyState?a():t.attachEvent?t.attachEvent("onload",a):t.addEventListener("load",a,!1)}();
</script>
<?php

}
