Preparation
Create your widget in the panel and copy the one-line install code. Make sure the domain field holds your WordPress site's address.
Method 1: code snippet plugin (recommended)
- In WP admin, install WPCode (or any "header footer code" plugin) from Plugins › Add New.
- Open Code Snippets › Header & Footer.
- Paste the code into the Footer box and save.
This survives theme updates; it is the safest route.
Method 2: theme file
In Appearance › Theme File Editor open footer.php and paste the code just above the closing </body> tag. Note: theme updates wipe this change; prefer method 1 unless you use a child theme.
Method 3: theme customizer
Some themes (Astra, GeneratePress, OceanWP) offer a "Custom Scripts" or "Footer Code" box under Appearance › Customize; paste the code there.
Verify and troubleshoot
- Open your site in a private window; the widget should appear bottom right.
- If not, clear your cache plugin (LiteSpeed, WP Rocket etc.).
- "Defer/combine JS" features can break the loader; exclude ucwidgets.com from those optimizations if needed.
