Paste your SnapWidget code into a Custom HTML block where you want the widget to show. The same steps work for Facebook, X, TikTok and YouTube widgets.
On a self-hosted WordPress site, you need the Administrator or Editor role. On a WordPress multisite network, only a Super Admin can add the code. On WordPress.com, you need a paid plan with hosting features activated. On other plans, WordPress.com removes the code when you save.

​
In SnapWidget

  1. Create your widget, or open an existing widget from your dashboard.

​
In WordPress

  1. In your WordPress dashboard, click Pages or Posts. Open the page or post where you want the widget.
  2. Click the Block Inserter (+) at the place where you want the widget. Search for “Custom HTML” and select Custom HTML. You can also type /html in an empty line.
  3. Click Edit HTML. Paste your code and click Update. In WordPress versions before 7.0, paste the code straight into the block.
  4. Save or publish the page.
  • Classic theme: go to Appearance > Widgets. Open the widget area, click + and add a Custom HTML block. Paste your code and click Update.
  • Block theme: go to Appearance > Editor > Patterns. Under Template Parts, open the part you want, for example Footer, and click the pencil icon. Add a Custom HTML block, paste your code and click Save.

Check your widget

Open the page on your live site. The widget shows your latest Instagram posts. If you see a link or an empty space where the widget should be, see Why does WordPress display a link instead of the widget?
