Installing on WordPress.

Two ways to install the TapText widget on WordPress: a free plugin or a one-line theme edit.

What you'll need

• Your TapText account ID (Dashboard, Settings, Install)
• WordPress admin access

Option 1. Use a header / footer plugin (easiest)

If you already use a plugin like WPCode, Insert Headers and Footers, or Code Snippets, just paste the TapText snippet there.

1. Install the plugin if you don't already have one. Insert Headers and Footers by WPBeginner is free and reliable.
2. In WordPress admin, go to Settings, Insert Headers and Footers (or whatever the plugin's menu name is).
3. Paste the TapText snippet into the Scripts in Footer box.
4. Save changes.

Option 2. Edit your theme directly

If you'd rather not add another plugin, you can paste the snippet straight into your theme.

1. In WordPress admin, go to Appearance, Theme File Editor.
2. On the right, find footer.php .
3. Find the line that says </body> . Paste the TapText snippet directly above it.
4. Click Update File.

Heads up. Direct theme edits get wiped when you update the theme. If you go this route, use a child theme so your changes survive updates. The plugin route avoids this entirely.

Option 3. Block themes (Full Site Editing)

If you're on a block theme like Twenty Twenty-Four, the Theme File Editor menu is hidden by default. Use Option 1 (header / footer plugin) instead.

Step 4. Verify it loaded

Visit your site in an incognito window. The TapText widget should appear in the bottom-right corner within a few seconds.

If it doesn't, see Widget isn't showing on my site.

Common issues

If you have a caching plugin (WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed Cache), clear the cache after adding the snippet. The cached pages won't have the new script.

If you have a security plugin that aggressively blocks third-party scripts, allowlist widget.taptext.com.au .
