Adding the badge to WordPress

Adding the WebsitePulse badge to a WordPress site takes about two minutes. The exact steps depend on your theme, but the principle is the same.

Step 1: Copy your badge code

Step 2: Find your footer in WordPress

There are a few ways to add code to your WordPress footer depending on how your site is built:

Using a page builder (Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder)

Open your footer template in the builder. Add an HTML widget or code block element and paste the badge code into it. Save and publish.

Using a classic theme

Go to Appearance, then Theme Editor, and open footer.php. Paste the badge code just before the closing </footer> tag. Save.

Be careful editing theme files directly. If you are not comfortable doing this, use a plugin like "Insert Headers and Footers" which lets you add code to your footer without editing files.

Using a plugin

Install the free "Insert Headers and Footers" plugin. Go to Settings, then Insert Headers and Footers, and paste the badge code into the footer section. Save.

Step 3: Check it worked

Visit your website and scroll to the bottom. You should see the WebsitePulse badge. If your site has a mobile footer that is different from your desktop footer, make sure you have added it to both.

WebsitePulse will automatically detect the badge on the next monitoring cycle. If your monitor was paused, it will resume automatically once the badge is found.
