WordPress Widget Integration
Add Google Reviews, Instagram feeds & WhatsApp chat to WordPress — works with any theme.
Install Steps
- Edit any Page or Post.
- Add a 'Custom HTML' block (Gutenberg) or switch to 'Text' tab (Classic).
- Paste the generic GizmoSauce embed code.
- Update/Publish the page.
Option 1: Using the Gutenberg Block Editor
The WordPress block editor (Gutenberg) makes it easy to add widgets to any page or post.
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Edit your page or post
- Go to Pages or Posts in your WordPress dashboard
- Click on the page you want to edit
-
Add a Custom HTML block
- Click the + button to add a new block
- Search for Custom HTML
- Click to add it to your page
-
Paste your widget code
- Click inside the HTML block
- Paste your GizmoSauce embed code
- The block should show a gray 'HTML' label
-
Preview and publish
- Click Preview to see your widget (note: some themes block scripts in preview)
- Click Update or Publish to save
Tip: If the widget doesn't show in preview, publish the page and view it directly.
Option 2: Site-Wide Widgets (Chat, Popups)
For widgets that should appear on every page of your WordPress site, use a code injection plugin instead of editing theme files.
Recommended Plugin: WPCode
-
Install WPCode
- Go to Plugins → Add New
- Search for WPCode
- Click Install Now, then Activate
-
Add your widget code
- Go to Code Snippets → Add Snippet
- Click Add Your Custom Code
- Give it a name like 'GizmoSauce Widget'
- Set Code Type to HTML Snippet
- Paste your GizmoSauce embed code
-
Configure placement
- Under Insertion, select Site Wide Footer
- Toggle Active to ON
- Click Save Snippet
✅ Your widget will now appear on all pages!
Alternative: You can also use the 'Insert Headers and Footers' plugin with similar steps.
Page Builders (Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder)
If you use a page builder, follow these specific instructions:
Elementor
- Edit your page with Elementor
- Search for HTML in the widget panel
- Drag it to your page
