    Example. Plugins and WordPress core use this function to insert crucial elements into your document (e.g., scripts, styles, and meta tags). Always put wp_head() just before the closing tag of your theme (usually in header.php):

    <head>
	<!-- First add the elements you need in <head>; then last, add: -->
	<?php wp_head(); ?>
</head>
