Embed GizmoSauce widgets using a Custom HTML block or theme editor.

Quick visual

Paste the snippet into a Custom HTML block, then publish.

Use a Custom HTML block in the WordPress editor and paste your GizmoSauce snippet.

For full steps (Classic editor, Elementor, block editor), use the WordPress integration guide.

WordPress block editor (Gutenberg)

  1. Edit the page or post.
  2. Add a Custom HTML block.
  3. Paste your embed snippet.
  4. Update/publish.

Important: scripts may not run in the editor preview. Always test on the published page.

Elementor and other builders

If you use Elementor, use the HTML widget/module and paste the snippet there.

For other builders, look for a similar “HTML/Code” element. If you can paste HTML and the builder allows scripts, the GizmoSauce snippet will work.

Site-wide widgets (chat, some popups)

If you want a widget to appear everywhere, inject it site-wide:

  • Some themes provide a “custom code” area.
  • Plugins like WPCode can inject scripts into headers/footers.

If you’re not comfortable editing theme files, stick to page-level embeds first.

Troubleshooting in WordPress

If the widget doesn’t show:

  • Confirm you used Custom HTML (not a Paragraph block).
  • Disable optimization plugins temporarily.
  • Hard refresh and test incognito.

If you’re still stuck, use the embed troubleshooting guide: /help/install-and-embed/embed-basics/embed-troubleshooting.
