Where to Paste the Thinkific Widget
If you want to add a Thinkific widget to your WordPress site, there are a few different places where you can paste the code. Here are the most common options:
Accessing the WordPress Dashboard
First, log in to your WordPress dashboard. This is the back-end of your website, where you can make changes to your site’s settings and content.
Adding the Thinkific Widget to a Page or Post
If you want to embed a Thinkific widget on a specific page or post on your site, you can paste the widget code directly into the page or post editor. To do this, create a new page or post, or open an existing one. Then, switch to the “Text” or “HTML” editor mode (instead of the visual editor) and paste the widget code where you want it to appear. When you switch back to the visual editor, you should see the embedded widget.
Adding the Thinkific Widget to the Sidebar or Footer
If you want the Thinkific widget to appear on every page of your site, you can add it to your site’s sidebar or footer. To do this, go to “Appearance” -> “Widgets” in your WordPress dashboard. Then, drag a “Text” widget from the left side of the screen to the “Sidebar” or “Footer” section on the right side. Finally, paste the Thinkific widget code into the text box of the “Text” widget. Save your changes, and the widget should now appear in the sidebar or footer of your site.
