  5. Click on Generate embed code
  6. Click the Copy embed code button. This is the code you should use when embedding it into your website.

Embedding the code in WordPress​

In WordPress, click Pages in the left-hand side banner. If you have already created a page, click it. If you haven't, click Start a page.

  1. Using the block system in the page, click the small + sign and then click Custom HTML.

  1. Paste the widget code in the box where it says Write HTML.

  1. Click Preview to check out how your widget will look.

Note that your widget might look different from the screenshot above if you're embedding a different type of widget, e.g. the product page or the product list.

 

Note If you are using Litespeed Web Cache you need to disable caching for the pages that are using Bókun widgets. In WordPress click Litespeed cache >> Cache >> Exclude >> Inside the field "Do Not Cache URIs" add the pages that have a Bókun widget.
