How to Add a WEBSET Popup to Your WordPress Website

Introduction

The WEBSET popup widget is a powerful and convenient tool for WordPress sites that allows you to easily display popups without programming. It is used for collecting email addresses, promoting offers, displaying feedback forms, showing special offers, and other tasks.

The platform is compatible with any themes and WP builders — from Gutenberg to Elementor. You can connect the popup widget literally in a few minutes: manually via HTML or using the no-code platform. This is the perfect solution for both novice users and experienced administrators.

Ways to Add a Popup to WP

You can add a popup in several ways: using an HTML block in the editor or through an external script on the no-code platform. The installation process is intuitive and takes 5 to 10 minutes.

Adding a Popup via HTML Block

This method is suitable for those who use Gutenberg or Elementor and want to insert the widget into a specific part of the design.

Step 1. Create a Popup

  • Go to the WEBSET website and register.
  • Click "Create Popup" and choose the desired template: subscription form, discount offer, exit message, etc.
  • Customize the appearance and display conditions.

Step 2. Get the HTML Code

After customization, the WEBSET system will generate a unique HTML code. You need to copy it from the "Installation" section.

Step 3. Add Code to Your Site

Option 1 (via Gutenberg):

  • Open the desired part in the editor.
  • Add the "HTML Code" block.
  • Add the copied code.

Option 2 (via Elementor):

  • Go to the Elementor editor.
  • Add the HTML element.
  • Add the code and save changes.
  • ✅ Advantages: simplicity — works without plugins; flexibility — can be embedded in any part of the site; support for all popular WordPress themes.
  • ❌ Disadvantages: for permanent management of popups, access to each page will be required; if the resource is updated frequently, it is preferable to use no-code.

Adding via the WEBSET No-Code Platform

This method is especially convenient if you want to centrally manage all pop-up windows without having to make changes to each page.

Step 1. Register an Account

  • Go to webset.tools and create an account
  • Create a pop-up: choose a template, set display triggers, texts, and style.

Step 2. Copy the Connection Code

WEBSET will suggest inserting a script into the HTML markup. This is done once.

Step 3. Install the Script in the WordPress Header

Method 1: via the Insert Headers and Footers plugin

Method 2: directly in the header.php file

  • Go to Appearance → Theme Editor.
  • Open the header.php file.
  • Paste the code before </head>
  • ✅ Advantages: manage popups from one WEBSET panel; easy testing and launching of new windows; support for analytics, A/B testing, and segmentation.
  • ❌ Disadvantages: Access to the header or installation of a plugin will be required.
Now you can add WEBSET popups to your site. Create a widget in your personal account → click "Publish" → the widget will appear on your WordPress site 🪄
