Hi Mark - you’ll want to put the meta tags inside the <head> block of your website, not inside <script> tags. Also, looks like you are missing a closing " on the twitter:site tag.

Hi Andy,

Thank you for your quick response.

Does that mean you cannot put twitter card code directly into the tag manager but it needs to be included only in the header section.

Thanks
Mark

I have never used GTM but just had a look and it appears to say that you need to paste the code it supports into the <body> of your page. In that case, this won’t work as a container for Twitter Cards. You’re free to use both cards and the tag manager code, but you will need to add the two chunks of code independently.
