How to install widgets on WordPress

The Getsitecontrol popup builder has a dedicated WordPress plugin, so it's very easy to start using it on WordPress.

Once installed, the plugin will connect your site to Getsitecontrol. This will allow you to create, edit, and publish widgets from the Getsitecontrol dashboard, while the results will be visible in real time on your website.

Below you’ll find detailed instructions to install Getsitecontrol on a WordPress website.

First, log in to your WordPress dashboard. Open the Plugins section and click ‘Add new’.

Search for Getsitecontrol and proceed to click the ‘Install Now’ button.

When the plugin is installed, click the ‘Activate’ button.

2. Connect to Getsitecontrol

You will now see a new section called ‘Getsitecontrol’ in the left panel of your WordPress dashboard. Open this section.

If you already have a Getsitecontrol account, proceed to sign in.

3. Open your Getsitecontrol dashboard

If you have only one WP website connected to Getsitecontrol, click the ‘Go to Dashboard’ button to open the dashboard and start creating widgets.

If you have more than one WP website connected to Getsitecontrol, you’ll have to choose for which one you want to create widgets.

After selecting the website from the dropdown list, click the ‘Go to Dashboard’ button.
