Do you want to upload a HTML page to your WordPress site? Sometimes you may need to add a static HTML page and make it accessible along with your WordPress site. In this article, we will show you how to properly upload a HTML page to your WordPress site without causing 404 errors.
Why Upload HTML Pages to WordPress?
WordPress comes with a built-in content type to add pages to your website. Often WordPress themes add pre-designed page templates to display your pages.
There are even WordPress landing page plugins that allow you to create beautiful page templates with a drag and drop builder.
This means that in most cases, you shouldn’t need to upload a HTML page to your WordPress site.
However, sometimes a user may have static HTML pages from their old website or a static template that they really like and want to use. In these scenarios, you will need to upload your HTML page to WordPress.
Since, WordPress comes with its own SEO friendly URL structure, it can cause a 404 error if you simply uploaded your HTML page and tried to access it.
That being said, let’s take a look at how to upload a HTML page to your WordPress site without causing 404 errors.
Uploading HTML Page to WordPress Site
Before you upload your HTML page to the WordPress site, you need to make sure that the ‘index.html’ file is renamed to ‘index.php’.
After that, you need to add all files including the HTML page, CSS, and other folders to a Zip archive.
Windows users can right-click and select Send to » Compressed Zip Folder option to create a zip file. Next, simply drag and drop all files and folders for your HTML page to the zip file.
Mac users can select the parent folder containing all files and folders, and then right-click to select ‘Compress folder’ option.
Next, you need to go to the cPanel of your WordPress hosting account. In the cPanel, you need to scroll down to the Files section and then click on the File Manager app.
Once you are in File Manager, you need to navigate to the website root folder which is usually called public_html and contains all your WordPress files folders. From there, you need to click on the Folder link from the top menu to create a new empty folder.
A popup will open where you need to add a name for the new folder. Use a name that you want to use as the URL of your HTML page and then click on the Create New Folder button.
After creating the folder successfully, you need to open it and click on the Upload button from the top menu to select and upload the zip file you created earlier from your computer. You’ll see the progress bar while the zip file uploads to your site.
Once uploaded, you need to select the zip file and then click on Extract button from the top menu.
You will be asked where to extract the files. Simply select the same new folder that you created and click on the Extract File(s) button.
File Manager will now extract the zip file, and you will be able to see files in your folder.
Note: You can now delete the zip file from here. It doesn’t affect your HTML page or any other folders that are extracted.
Now you can visit this page in the browser by using the name of the folder (For example, yourwebsite.com/example). If your server doesn’t support the redirection, then you may see a 404 error. It happens because your ‘index.php’ file is not redirected on loading the URL in browser.
This code will redirect your ‘index.php’ file and load it in the browser. If you are using a case-sensitive name for a file or folder, then the above code will also redirect that to show you the content.
We hope this article helped you learn how to upload an HTML page to your WordPress site without 404 error. You may want to see our comparison of WordPress vs static HTML to learn which one is better for your business. Also for creating landing pages, we recommend taking a look at the best WordPress drag & drop page builder plugins.

Are you confused by GDPR, and how it will impact your WordPress site? GDPR, short for General Data Protection Regulation, is an European Union law that you have likely heard about. We have received dozens of emails from users asking us to explain GDPR in plain English and share tips on how to make your WordPress site GDPR compliant. In this article, we will explain everything you need to know about GDPR and WordPress (without the complex legal stuff).
Disclaimer: We are not lawyers. Nothing on this website should be considered legal advice.
To help you easily navigate through our ultimate guide to WordPress and GDPR Compliance, we have created a table of content below:
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European Union (EU) law taking effect on May 25, 2018. The goal of GDPR is to give EU citizens control over their personal data and change the data privacy approach of organizations across the world.
You’ve likely gotten dozens of emails from companies like Google and others regarding GDPR, their new privacy policy, and bunch of other legal stuff. That’s because the EU has put in hefty penalties for those who are not in compliance.
Fines
Basically after May 25th, 2018, businesses that are not in compliance with GDPR’s requirement can face large fines up to 4% of a company’s annual global revenue OR €20 million (whichever is greater). This is enough reason to cause wide-spread panic among businesses around the world.
This brings us to the big question that you might be thinking about:
Does GDPR apply to my WordPress site?
The answer is YES. It applies to every business, large and small, around the world (not just in the European Union).
If your website has visitors from European Union countries, then this law applies to you.
But don’t panic, this isn’t the end of the world.
While GDPR has the potential to escalate to those high level of fines, it will start with a warning, then a reprimand, then a suspension of data processing, and if you continue to violate the law, then the large fines will hit.
The EU isn’t some evil government that is out to get you. Their goal is to protect consumers, average people like you and me from reckless handling of data / breaches because it’s getting out of control.
The maximum fine part in our opinion is largely to get the attention of large companies like Facebook and Google, so this regulation is NOT ignored. Furthermore, this encourage companies to actually put more emphasis on protecting the rights of people.
Once you understand what is required by GDPR and the spirit of the law, then you will realize that none of this is too crazy. We will also share tools / tips to make your WordPress site GDPR compliant.
What is required under GDPR?
The goal of GDPR is to protect user’s personally identifying information (PII) and hold businesses to a higher standard when it comes to how they collect, store, and use this data.
The personal data includes: name, emails, physical address, IP address, health information, income, etc.
While the GDPR regulation is 200 pages long, here are the most important pillars that you need to know:
Explicit Consent – if you’re collecting personal data from an EU resident, then you must obtain explicit consent that’s specific and unambiguous. In other words, you can’t just send unsolicited emails to people who gave you their business card or filled out your website contact form because they DID NOT opt-in for your marketing newsletter (that’s called SPAM by the way, and you shouldn’t be doing that anyways).
For it to be considered explicit consent, you must require a positive opt-in (i.e no pre-ticked checkbox), contain clear wording (no legalese), and be separate from other terms & conditions.
Rights to Data – you must inform individuals where, why, and how their data is processed / stored. An individual has the right to download their personal data and an individual also has the right to be forgotten meaning they can ask for their data to be deleted.
This will make sure that when you hit Unsubscribe or ask companies to delete your profile, then they actually do that (hmm, go figure). I’m looking at you Zenefits, still waiting for my account to be deleted for 2 years and hoping that you stop sending me spam emails just because I made the mistake of trying out your service.
Breach Notification – organizations must report certain types of data breaches to relevant authorities within 72 hours, unless the breach is considered harmless and poses no risk to individual data. However if a breach is high-risk, then the company MUST also inform individuals who’re impacted right away.
This will hopefully prevent cover-ups like Yahoo that was not revealed until the acquisition.
Data Protection Officers – if you are a public company or process large amounts of personal information, then you must appoint a data protection officer. Again this is not required for small businesses. Consult an attorney if you’re in doubt.
To put it in plain English, GDPR makes sure that businesses can’t go around spamming people by sending emails they didn’t ask for. Businesses can’t sell people’s data without their explicit consent (good luck getting this consent). Businesses have to delete user’s account and unsubscribe them from email lists if the user ask you to do that. Businesses have to report data breaches and overall be better about data protection.
Sounds pretty good, in theory at least.
Ok so now you are probably wondering what do you need to do to make sure that your WordPress site is GDPR compliant.
Well, that really depends on your specific website (more on this later).
Let us start by answering the biggest question that we’ve gotten from users:
Is WordPress GDPR Compliant?
Yes, as of WordPress 4.9.6, the WordPress core software is GDPR compliant. WordPress core team has added several GDPR enhancements to make sure that WordPress is GDPR compliant. It’s important to note that when we talk about WordPress, we’re talking about self-hosted WordPress.org (see the difference: WordPress.com vs WordPress.org).
Having said that, due to the dynamic nature of websites, no single platform, plugin or solution can offer 100% GDPR compliance. The GDPR compliance process will vary based on the type of website you have, what data you store, and how you process data on your site.
Ok so you might be thinking what does this mean in plain english?
Well, by default WordPress 4.9.6 now comes with the following GDPR enhancement tools:
Comments Consent
By default, WordPress used to store the commenters name, email and website as a cookie on the user’s browser. This made it easier for users to leave comments on their favorite blogs because those fields were pre-populated.
Due to GDPR’s consent requirement, WordPress has added the comment consent checkbox. The user can leave a comment without checking this box. All it would mean is that they would have to manually enter their name, email, and website every time they leave a comment.
Data Export and Erase Feature
WordPress offers site owners the ability to comply with GDPR’s data handling requirements and honor user’s request for exporting personal data as well as removal of user’s personal data.
The data handling features can be found under the Tools menu inside WordPress admin.
Privacy Policy Generator
WordPress now comes with a built-in privacy policy generator. It offers a pre-made privacy policy template and offer you guidance in terms of what else to add, so you can be more transparent with users in terms of what data you store and how you handle their data.
These three things are enough to make a default WordPress blog GDPR compliant. However it is very likely that your website has additional features that will also need to be in compliance.
Depending on which which WordPress plugins you are using on your website, you would need to act accordingly to make sure that your website is GDPR compliant.
A lot of the best WordPress plugins have already gone ahead and added GDPR enhancement features. Let’s take a look at some of the common areas that you would need to address:
Google Analytics
Like most website owners, you’re likely using Google Analytics to get website stats. This means that it is possible that you’re collecting or tracking personal data like IP addresses, user IDs, cookies and other data for behavior profiling. To be GDPR compliant, you need to do one of the following:
Anonymize the data before storage and processing begins
Add an overlay to the site that gives notice of cookies and ask users for consent prior to tracking
Both of these are fairly difficult to do if you’re just pasting Google Analytics code manually on your site. However, if you’re using MonsterInsights, the most popular Google Analytics plugin for WordPress, then you’re in luck.
They have released an EU compliance addon that helps automate the above process. MonsterInsights also has a very good blog post about all you need to know about GDPR and Google Analytics (this is a must read, if you’re using Google Analytics on your site).
Contact Forms
If you are using a contact form in WordPress, then you may have to add extra transparency measures specially if you’re storing the form entries or using the data for marketing purposes.
Below are the things you might want to consider for making your WordPress forms GDPR compliant:
Get explicit consent from users to store their information.
Get explicit consent from users if you are planning to use their data for marketing purposes (i.e adding them to your email list).
Disable cookies, user-agent, and IP tracking for forms.
Make sure you have a data-processing agreement with your form providers if you are using a SaaS form solution.
Comply with data-deletion requests.
Disable storing all form entries (a bit extreme and not required by GDPR). You probably shouldn’t do this unless you know exactly what you’re doing.
The good part is that if you’re using WordPress plugins like WPForms, Gravity Forms, Ninja Forms, Contact Form 7, etc, then you don’t need a Data Processing Agreement because these plugins DO NOT store your form entries on their site. Your form entries are stored in your WordPress database.
Simply adding a required consent checkbox with clear explanation should be good enough for you to make your WordPress forms GDPR compliant.
WPForms, the contact form plugin we use on WPBeginner, has added several GDPR enhancements to make it easy for you to add a GDPR consent field, disable user cookies, disable user IP collection, and disable entries with a single click.
Email Marketing Opt-in Forms
Similar to contact forms, if you have any email marketing opt-in forms like popups, floating bars, inline-forms, and others, then you need to make sure that you’re collecting explicit consent from users before adding them to your list.
This can be done with either:
Adding a checkbox that user has to click before opt-in
Simply requiring double-optin to your email list
Top lead-generation solutions like OptinMonster has added GDPR consent checkboxes and other necessary features to help you make your email opt-in forms compliant. You can read more about the GDPR strategies for marketers on the OptinMonster blog.
The WooCommerce team has prepared a comprehensive guide for store owners to help them be GDPR compliant.
Retargeting Ads
If your website is running retargeting pixels or retargeting ads, then you will need to get user’s consent. You can do this by using a plugin like Cooke Notices.
Best WordPress Plugins for GDPR Compliance
There are several WordPress plugins that can help automate some aspects of GDPR compliance for you. However, no plugin can offer 100% compliance due to the dynamic nature of websites.
Beware of any WordPress plugin that claims to offer 100% GDPR compliance. They likely don’t know what they’re talking about, and it’s best for you to avoid them completely.
Below is our list of recommended plugins for facilitating GDPR compliance:
MonsterInsights – if you’re using Google Analytics, then you should use their EU compliance addon.
WPForms – by far the most user-friendly WordPress contact form plugin. They offer GDPR fields and other features.
Cookies Notice – popular free plugin to add an EU cookie notice. Integrates well with top plugins like MonsterInsights and others.
OptinMonster – advanced lead generation software that offers clever targeting features to boost conversions while being GDPR compliant.
Shared Counts – instead of loading the default share buttons which add tracking cookies, this plugin load static share buttons while displaying share counts.
We will continue to monitor the plugin ecosystem to see if any other WordPress plugin stands out and offer substantial GDPR compliance features.
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re ready or not, GDPR will go in effect on May 25, 2018. If your website is not compliant before then, don’t panic. Just continue to work towards compliance and get it done asap.
The likelihood of you getting a fine the day after this rule goes in effect are pretty close to zero because the European Union’s website states that first you’ll get a warning, then a reprimand, and fines are the last step if you fail to comply and knowingly ignore the law.
The EU is not out to get you. They’re doing this to protect user’s data and restore people’s trust in online businesses. As the world goes digital, we need these standards. With the recent data breaches of large companies, it’s important that these standards are adapted globally.
It will be good for all involved. These new rules will help boost consumer confidence and in turn help grow your business.
We hope this article helped you learn about WordPress and GDPR compliance. We will do our best to keep it updated as more information or tools get released.

Do you want to add an Amazon-like magnifying zoom for images in WordPress?
Adding a zoom feature will allow users to see details that they would not see in a normal-sized image.
In this article, we’ll show you how to easily add magnifying zoom for images in WordPress.
Why Add a Magnifying Zoom for Images?
Adding a magnifying zoom feature on your WordPress website will allow visitors to view the intricate details of the images clearly.
If you have a photography website, then adding a magnifying feature will allow users to zoom in on your photographs to view the finer details.
Similarly, if you run an online store, then your customers will be able to zoom in on product images.
Many big eCommerce websites already use magnifying zoom for product images. It allows customers to examine the product and creates a better shopping experience in your store.
That being said, let’s see how you can easily add a magnifying zoom for images in WordPress.
How to Add a Magnifying Zoom For Images in WordPress
Upon activation, you need to head over to the WP Image Zoom » Zoom Settings page from the WordPress admin sidebar.
Next, you need to configure the zoom effect settings by switching to the ‘Zoom Settings’ tab and choose a lens shape that you want to use.
You can choose from circle, square, and zoom window lens shapes. You can even choose a ‘No Lens’ (⨯) option if you don’t want to use a shape for magnifying effect.
After choosing your preferred lens, you need to scroll down to the next step where you can preview an image with the selected lens to see how it works. The plugin has a preview image that you can use to test your changes.
Next, you need to switch to the ‘General’ tab.
From here, you can select a cursor type, set an animation effect, enable the zoom on mouse hover or mouse click, and define a zoom level.
If you want even more options, some of the features are only available for the pro version of the WP Image Zoom plugin.
After making your choices accordingly, simply go to the ‘Lens’ tab from the top.
You can now configure settings like lens size, lens color, lens border options, and more if you selected the ‘circle’ or ‘square’ lens in Step 1.
If you selected the Zoom Window Lens, then you need to switch to the ‘Zoom Window’ configuration tab.
From here, you can change the width and height of the zoom window, positioning, distance from the main image, border colors, and more.
Next, you need to simply click the ‘Save Changes’ to store your settings.
After that, all you have to do is configure a few general settings.
Configure General Plugin Settings
Next, you need to switch to the General Settings tab under the plugin settings.
From here, you can now enable features like zoom on WooCommerce product images, thumbnails, mobile devices, attachment pages, product category pages, and more.
All you need to do is simply check the boxes next to these options.
You can also remove the lightbox effect, so users can smoothly zoom images.
However, you would need the Pro version of the plugin for this feature.
If you are not going to remove the lightbox for images, then you need to scroll down to the ‘Enable inside a Lightbox’ option and check the box next to it.
Note: You can see supported lightboxes to make sure that the zoom works fine inside a lightbox on your site.
Once you are done adjusting the settings, don’t forget to click on the ‘Save Changes’ button to store your settings.
Magnifying zoom will now be enabled for WooCommerce products.
You can go visit your online store to check our zoom feature.
However, if you want to enable zoom for images on WordPress posts and pages, you need to follow the step below.
Step 3. Enable Magnifying Zoom for Images in Block Editor
By default, the magnifying zoom is not enabled for images on your posts and pages. You need to do it manually after adding an image to your content.
First, you need to open a post you want to edit in the block editor.
Next, you need to upload an image to that post from the media library or your computer.
Once you do that, simply click on the image to open up its’ Block Settings panel on the right corner of the screen.
From here, simply go to the ‘Styles’ tab and click on the ‘With Zoom’ button to apply magnifying zoom to your image.
After that, simply click the ‘Update’ or ‘Publish’ button at the top to store your settings.
The zoom feature will look like this on your site:
Note: You will need to repeat this step each time you want to add the zoom effect to an individual image.
We recommend using high-quality images for the zoom feature to look great. High-quality images are normally larger in file size and take longer to load which will affect your website speed and performance.

Do you want to create a product catalog in WordPress without adding a full-blown shopping cart? Sometimes businesses want to take order by phone while still displaying their product catalog on the website. In this article, we will show you how to easily create a product catalog in WordPress without a shopping cart.
Why Add a Product Catalog without Shopping Cart>
Some businesses have products that they can’t sell online because they have an undetermined price. This makes it impossible for them to use a shopping cart plugin, but they still want to make a website, so they can showcase those products and attract potential customers.
Normally, people associate eCommerce platforms with online shopping. However, you can still use them to display products without using shopping cart feature.
That being said, let’s take a look at how to easily create a product catalog in WordPress without using the shopping cart feature.
Getting Started with Your Product Catalog in WordPress
The best way to create a product catalog in WordPress is by using WooCommerce. Don’t worry, you will not be using any of its shopping cart features.
If you already have a WordPress website, then you can go ahead and install and activate the WooCommerce plugin. For more details, see our step by step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.
If you don’t have a WordPress site setup, then see our guide on how to create an online store to quickly set up WordPress with WooCommerce.
Once you have installed WooCommerce, you can move on to creating your product catalog in WordPress.
Creating Product Catalog in WordPress without Shopping Cart
By default, WooCommerce displays an add to cart or buy button next to all your products. This makes it difficult to create a product catalog without the shopping cart feature.
Luckily, there’s an easy solution that fixes this problem.
Upon activation, you need to visit YITH Plugins » Catalog Mode page to configure the plugin settings.
First, you need to check the box next to ‘Enable YITH WooCommerce Catalog Mode’ option to enable the plugin. After that, you need to choose where you want to hide the ‘Add to cart’ button.
You can choose to hide it on the shop pages or product details pages.
But in this case, you should go with the last option which allows you to disable shop feature everywhere by disabling the checkout page, cart page, and removing all add to cart button everywhere.
Don’t forget to click on the ‘Save Changes’ button to store your settings.
Adding Products to Your WordPress Product Catalog
You can now go ahead and start adding products to your site. Simply visit Products » Add New page to enter your product information.
On the products screen, you can provide product title, description, short description, product image, and product gallery. Under the ‘Product’ data section, you will find the price options. You can leave them blank if you don’t want to display product pricing.
Once you are finished, go ahead and publish your product. Repeat the process to add as many products as needed to build up your catalog.
Viewing Your WordPress Product Catalog
You can visit your WooCommerce shop page to view your default catalog in action. Your shop page is usually located at a URL like this:
http://example.com/shop/
Replace example.com with your own URL to view your WooCommerce shop page in the catalog mode.
If you don’t want to use the shop page, then you can also display your products on any WordPress page and use it as your product catalog.
All you have to do is create a new WordPress page or edit an existing one, and add the following shortcode in the content area:
[products columns="4" limit="8" paginate="true"]
Feel free to change the number of columns and the items per page limit to your own requirements. Once you have adjusted the shortcode, go ahead and save or publish your page to preview it.
You will notice that the product pages will not show any add to cart or buy buttons. You can click on any individual product to see the product details page.
It will show all the product information images, description, gallery, without an add to cart or buy button.
We hope this article helped you learn how to easily create a product catalog in WordPress without the shopping cart feature. You may also want to see our list of the best WooCommerce themes that you can use for your product catalog website.

Do you want to display Facebook page reviews in WordPress?
Reviews and ratings can help you gain the trust of potential customers and encourage them to buy from your website. If you have a Facebook page, then you may already have lots of reviews that you can easily embed in your WordPress website.
In this article, we’ll show how to display your Facebook page reviews and ratings on your WordPress website.
Why Should You Display Facebook Page Reviews in WordPress?
Reviews can help you build social proof and gain the trust of your visitors, which means more sales for your business.
However, Facebook has its own built-in review system. If you already have a Facebook page, then followers can review your products and services on that platform. This is great for helping you build an engaging and trusted Facebook page.
But it’s also a good idea to show these reviews on your WordPress website. That way, people can see all your positive reviews, even if they don’t visit your Facebook page.
The reviews can also highlight benefits and features that you missed in your website’s text and are great for improving your WordPress SEO.
After embedding the review feed on your site, new reviews will appear on your site automatically. This means visitors will always see the latest reviews without you having to add them to your site manually.
With that in mind, let’s see how to display your Facebook page reviews in WordPress.
This plugin and extension allow you to show all your Facebook page reviews in an attractive and fully-customizable layout. As you get more reviews, they’ll be added to your WordPress website automatically.
Note: In this guide, we’ll be using the Pro version of Smash Balloon, as it allows you to embed Facebook reviews on your WordPress website. However, there’s also a free version that allows you to easily embed Facebook status posts in WordPress.
The first thing you need to do is install and activate the Smash Balloon Custom Facebook Feed plugin. For more details, see our guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.
Upon activation, you’ll need to go to Facebook Feed » Settings and enter your license key into the ‘License Key’ field.
You’ll find this information under your account on the Smash Balloon website. After entering the key, click on the ‘Activate’ button.
Next, go to Facebook Feed »Extensions. Here, find the ‘Reviews’ extension.
If you haven’t purchased the bundle or extension, then click on its ‘Install’ button. You can then follow the onscreen instructions to purchase the Reviews extension.
You can then install the extension in exactly the same way you set up a WordPress plugin. For more details, see our guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.
Once you have the extension installed, go ahead and click on the ‘Activate’ button.
Connect the Facebook Reviews Plugin to Your Page
Now, it’s time to connect your Facebook page to WordPress so that you can show reviews from that page.
To get started, go to Facebook Feed » All Feeds and click on ‘Add New.’
Since we want to embed our Facebook page reviews, click on ‘Reviews’ and then select the ‘Next’ button.
After that, you’ll need to select the Facebook page where you’ll get the reviews from.
To do that, click on ‘Add New.’
On the next screen, select the radio button next to ‘Page.’
Once you’ve done that, go ahead and click on ‘Connect to Facebook.’
This opens a popup where you can log into your Facebook account and choose the pages where you’ll get the reviews from.
Once you’ve done that, click on ‘Next.’
Facebook will then show all the information that Smash Balloon will have access to and the actions it can perform.
To restrict Smash Balloon’s access to your Facebook page, simply click any of the switches to turn it from ‘Yes’ to ‘No.’ Just be aware that this may affect the content that you can show on your WordPress blog or website.
With that in mind, it’s a good idea to leave all the switches enabled.
When you’re happy with how the Facebook permissions are configured, click on ‘Done.’
After a few moments, you should see a message confirming that you’ve connected your WordPress website and your Facebook page.
With that done, click on the ‘OK’ button.
Smash Balloon will automatically take you back to the WordPress dashboard.
How to Display Your Facebook Page Reviews in WordPress
You’ll now see a popup with the Facebook page you connected to your WordPress website. Simply select the radio button next to your page and then click on the ‘Add’ button.
If you closed the popup by accident, don’t worry. You can simply refresh the tab to reopen the Smash Balloon popup.
After that, Smash Balloon will take you back to the Facebook Feed » All Feeds page automatically. Just like before, click on the ‘Add New’ button, select ‘Radio,’ and then click on the ‘Next’ button.
Now, select your Facebook page, and click on ‘Next.’
On this screen, you can choose the template you’ll use as the starting point for your review feed. You can customize all of these templates using the Smash Balloon editor.
We’re using the ‘Default’ template, but you can choose any template you want.
With that done, click on the ‘Next’ button.
Smash Balloon will now go ahead and create a feed of all your Facebook reviews.
How to Customize Your Embedded Facebook Reviews
This is a good start, but Smash Balloon has lots of settings that you can use to customize how the reviews appear on your WordPress website.
To fine-tune your review feed, go to Facebook Feed » All Feeds. Here, find the feed you just created and click on the ‘Edit’ button next to it.
This opens the Smash Balloon feed editor, which shows a preview of your review feed.
On the left-hand side, you’ll see all the different settings you can use to customize how the review feed looks on your site. Most of these settings are fairly straightforward, but we’ll quickly cover all the main settings.
If you want to change the template you’re using, simply click on ‘Template.’
Then, select the ‘Change’ button and choose a new template.
When you’re happy with the layout, click on the ‘Customize’ link.
This will take you back to the main Smash Balloon editor, where you can move to the next settings screen, which is ‘Feed Layout.’
On this screen, you can switch between masonry and list layouts and change the feed height.
As you make changes, the preview on the right will update automatically, so you can try different settings to see what works best for your Facebook review feed.
By default, Smash Balloon will show a different number of reviews on desktop computers and mobile devices.
You can preview how the feed will look on desktop computers, tablets, and smartphones using the row of buttons in the upper-right corner.
Just because your feed looks great on desktop devices, doesn’t mean it will look as good on smartphones and tablets.
To make this change, simply find the ‘Number of Posts’ section and type a different number into the ‘Mobile’ field.
If you do want to show less content on smartphones and tablets, then you can also change the number of columns.
To show fewer columns on mobile devices, simply type some new numbers into the ‘Columns’ settings. In the following image, we’re splitting the content into 3 columns on desktop, 2 columns on tablet, and 1 column on mobile devices.
By default, Smash Balloon uses the same color scheme as your WordPress theme, but it also lets you switch to a ‘Light’ or ‘Dark’ color scheme.
To take a look at these options, click on ‘Color Scheme’ on the main Smash Balloon menu. Here, you can test out the ‘Light’ and ‘Dark’ color schemes, change the text color in WordPress, select ‘Custom’ and use the controls to change the background color, and more.
Next, you can add a header above your review feed, which can include content like your page’s profile picture and name. This makes it clear that all the positive reviews are for your page or business.
To add a header section, select ‘Header’ from the left-hand menu.
To start, you can add or hide the header by clicking on the ‘Enable’ slider.
If you do show a header, then you can use the controls to change the size of the header and its color, hide or show your page’s profile picture, show your page’s bio and likes, and more.
After that, you can change how the individual reviews look inside the feed by selecting ‘Post Style’ from the left-hand menu.
After that, click on ‘Post Style’ again.
Here, you can choose between a regular and a boxed layout.
If you click on ‘Boxed,’ then you can create a colored background for each post. You can also make the border radius larger to create curved corners or add a border shadow to help your reviews stand out.
If you choose a ‘Regular’ layout, then you can change the color and thickness of the line that separates the different reviews.
In the following image, we’ve increased the line thickness and used a different color.
You can also style the individual parts within each review by going back to the main Smash Balloon settings screen.
Once again, select ‘Post Style’ and then click on ‘Edit Individual Elements’ instead.
You’ll now see all the different content that Smash Balloon shows from each review, such as the customer’s name, the date, and the number of likes, shares, and comments.
To remove a piece of content from your embedded reviews, click to uncheck its box.
To style a piece of content, simply click on its title. This will take you to a screen where you can change its text size and text color.
This allows you to make certain content stand out more than others. For example, you may want to make the review text bigger than the name of the person who left the review.
By default, Smash Balloon will show a ‘View all Reviews’ link below each review.
You can change how this link looks or even replace it with your own message by clicking on ‘Post Action Links.’
Here, you can change the text size and color.
To replace the default text, simply type into the ‘View All Reviews text’ field.
By default, Smash Balloon doesn’t add a Facebook ‘Like’ button to your review feed. This button makes it easier for visitors to follow you on Facebook, so they can learn more about your business.
For this reason, you may want to add this button by selecting the ‘Like Box’ settings.
Here, simply click on ‘Enable’ so that the toggle turns blue.
You can now use the ‘Position’ dropdown to show the Like Box below or above the review feed.
You can also use these settings to make the button large or small, show your page’s cover photo, or add a custom call-to-action.
Reviews are already a powerful form of social proof, but you may also want to show the total number of people who follow you on Facebook. To do this, simply click on the ‘Show fans’ switch so that it turns blue.
The ‘Load More’ button gives visitors an easy way to scroll through more of your reviews. If you have a lot of reviews, then it’s a good idea to add this button to your feed if it isn’t already enabled.
To do this, select the ‘Load More Button’ option from the left-hand menu.
Then, click on the ‘Enable’ toggle so that it turns blue.
You can also make the button stand out by changing its background color, hover state, and text color.
You can even add your own messaging to the button by typing into the ‘Text’ field. For example, you may want to use something like ‘Read More Reviews.’
When you’re happy with how the Facebook review feed looks, don’t forget to click on ‘Save’ to store your changes.
How to Embed Your Facebook Review Feed in WordPress
You’re now ready to add the review feed to your site using a block, widget, or shortcode.
If you’ve created more than one feed using Smash Balloon, then you’ll need to know the review feed’s code if you’re planning to use a block or widget.
To get this information, go to Facebook Feed »All Feeds and then look at the feed="" part of the shortcode. This is the code you’ll need to add to a block or widget, so make a note of it.
In the following image, we’ll need to use feed="5".
If you want to embed your reviews in a page or post, then you can use the ‘Custom Facebook Feed’ block.
Simply open the page or post where you want to show your reviews. Then, click on the ‘+’ icon to add a new block and start typing ‘Custom Facebook Feed.’
When the Facebook block appears, click to add it to your page or post.
The block will show one of your Smash Balloon feeds by default. If this isn’t your Facebook review feed, then find the ‘Shortcode Settings’ section in the right-hand menu.
Here, go ahead and add the feed="" code, then click on ‘Apply Changes.’
After that, publish or update the page to make the reviews live on your website.
Another option is to add the feed to any widget-ready area, such as the sidebar or similar section. This allows visitors to see your latest reviews no matter where they are on your WordPress website.
To do this, head over to Appearance » Widgets in the WordPress dashboard and then click on the blue ‘+’ button.
After that, type ‘Custom Facebook Feed’ into the search bar.
When the right widget appears, drag it to where you want to show the reviews on your WordPress website, such as the sidebar.
By default, the widget will show one of the feeds you created using Smash Balloon.
If this isn’t your Facebook review feed, then type the feed’s code into the ‘Shortcode Settings’ box. After that, click on ‘Apply Changes.’
Another option is embedding the review feed on any page, post, or widget-ready area using a shortcode. Simply head over to Facebook Feed »All Feeds and copy all the code under the ‘Shortcode’ column.
Finally, if you have a block-enabled theme, then you can use the full-site editor to add the ‘Custom Facebook Feed’ block anywhere on your site.
In the WordPress dashboard, simply go to Appearance » Editor.
By default, the full-site editor will show the theme’s home template. If you want to add the review feed to a different template, then click on the arrow next to ‘Home.’
You can then choose a template from the dropdown menu, such as the footer template.
Another option is to click on ‘Browse all templates.’
The full-site editor will now show a list of all the templates you can edit. Simply click on the template where you want to show your reviews.
Once you’ve chosen your template, simply hover your mouse over the area where you want to add the review feed.
Then, click on the blue ‘+’ when it appears.
After that, start typing in ‘Custom Facebook Feed.’
When the right block appears, click to add it to the template.
As always, Smash Balloon will show a feed by default. You can change this feed by adding a shortcode following the same process described above.
Do you want to add an image to a sidebar widget in WordPress? By default, WordPress makes it easy to upload and add images anywhere on your website. In this article, we will show you how to easily add an image in your WordPress sidebar widget. We will share multiple methods, so you can use one that works best for you.
Adding an Image in WordPress Using The Image Widget
The easiest way to add an image in WordPress sidebar is by using the default ‘Image’ widget.
Simply go to Appearance » Widgets page and add the ‘Image’ widget to your sidebar. If you haven’t used widgets before, then see our guide on how to add and use widgets in WordPress.
The widget will expand, and you will be able to see its settings.
The first option is to add a title to the image widget. After that, click on the ‘Add Image’ button to continue.
This will bring up the WordPress media uploader where you can click on the upload files button to upload your image or select an image you have previously uploaded.
After uploading the image, you will see image settings in the right column. From here, you can provide a title / ALT text for the image, add a description, select size, or even add a link.
Once you are done, you can click on the ‘Add to Widget’ button to save your changes. You will now see a preview of the image inside the widget settings area.
Don’t forget to click on the ‘Save’ button to save your image widget.
You can now visit your website to see the image displayed on your WordPress blog’s sidebar.
Adding an Image in WordPress Sidebar Using Text Widget
Adding an image to the sidebar using the default ‘Image’ widget is quite easy. However, sometimes you may need to add an image with custom HTML or text with formatting. In that case, you will need to use the ‘Text’ widget instead.
Simply go to Appearance » Widgets page and add the ‘Text’ widget to your sidebar. Under the widget settings, you will see the ‘Add Media’ button above text edit area.
Clicking on the button will bring up the media uploader allowing you to upload or select an image from the media library.
After selecting your image, click on the ‘Insert into post’ button. You will now be able to see an image preview in the text widget settings.
You can continue adding text and other elements to the text widget. The toolbar in the text editor gives you some basic formatting buttons.
Once you are done, don’t forget to click on the ‘Save’ button to store your widget settings.
You can now visit your website to see the sidebar image in action.
Manually Adding an Image in WordPress Sidebar Widget
In some cases, you may need to add additional HTML code to your image. The default text widget allows some very basic HTML, but it may not work with advanced HTML or formatting. In that case, you will need to manually add an image to your blog’s sidebar.
First, you need to upload the image to your WordPress site. Simply go to Media » Add New and upload your image file.
After uploading the image, you need to click on the Edit link next to the image.
WordPress will now take you to the ‘Edit Media’ page where you will see the image file URL on the right side of the screen. You need to copy this URL and paste it into a text editor like Notepad.
Next, you need to go to Appearance » Widgets screen and drag-drop ‘Custom HTML’ widget to your sidebar where you want to display the image.
In the text box area of the widget, you need to add your image using this code:
<img src="Paste The File URL Here" alt="Strawberries" />
The img tag is used in HTML to display images. It needs two attributes, the first one is src which defines the image file location. This is where you will paste the URL you copied earlier.
The second one is alt which is used to provide an alternate text for the image. Your final img tag will look something like this:
You need to click on the Save button to store your widget settings and then preview your website.
Adding an Image in WordPress Sidebar Using a Plugin
Another way to add images to your WordPress sidebar is by using a plugin. This will give you a few more options and a simple interface, which some beginners may find easier than the default ‘Image’ widget.
Upon activation, simply go to Appearance » Widgets page. You will notice a new widget labeled ‘Image Widget’ under available widgets column. Simply drag and drop this image widget to your WordPress sidebar where you want to display an image.
Next, click on the ‘Select Image’ button to upload an image or select one from the media library. After that you need to click on the ‘Insert to Widget’ button, and you will see the image preview under widget settings.
You can add a title, alt text, link, and a caption for the image. You can also choose an image size from the list of available options.
Once you are satisfied, simply click on the Save button to save the image widget. That’s all, you can now go to your website and see the image displayed in your sidebar.

Are you unable to find the custom fields option on your WordPress site? Custom field is an advance WordPress feature that helps you add custom content to your WordPress posts and pages by following various WordPress tutorials. In this article, we will show you how to easily fix custom fields not showing issue in WordPress.
Fixing Custom Fields Not Showing Issue in WordPress
In the past, custom fields were visible by default on the post edit screen of all WordPress sites. However since it is an advance feature, the WordPress core development team decided to hide custom fields by default for all new users in the WordPress 3.1 release.
They also made it easy for anyone to make them visible with just two clicks from within the post edit screen.
Simply create or edit an existing post / page, and then click on the ‘Screen Options‘ button at the top right corner of the screen. This will show you a menu with several options that you can show or hide on your post edit screen.
Go ahead and click on the checkbox next to ‘Custom Fields’ option.
Note: If you don’t see the Custom Fields option on your site, then please scroll to the troubleshooting option below in the article.
You can now scroll down on the post edit screen, and you will notice a new meta box labeled ‘Custom Fields’ below your post editor.
Since WordPress remembers your display choice, it will continue to display the custom fields box whenever you are editing posts on your website.
You can use this box to add, edit, and delete custom fields and their values.
What are Custom Fields? What Can You Do with them?
By default, when you write a new post, page, or any content type, WordPress saves it into two different areas. The first part is the body of your content that you add using the post editor.
The second part is the information about that particular content. For example, title, author name, date / time, and more. This bit of information about the post is called metadata.
Apart from the default post metadata, WordPress also allows you to save custom metadata by using custom fields.
WordPress developers use custom fields to store custom post metadata for your posts. For example, the Yoast SEO plugin uses custom fields to store SEO settings for your posts.
However instead of using the default custom fields box shown above, these plugin developers create their own custom meta boxes. This makes it easier for users to input information.
Recently one of our readers came to us with a problem where the Custom Fields option was missing from the WordPress screen options. After some investigation, we were able to find the cause of the issue.
If your WordPress site is missing the custom fields option under the ‘Screen Options’ menu, then you need to check if you have the Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) plugin active on your site.
ACF is a very popular WordPress plugin that developers use to create custom meta boxes. ACF is running on over 1 million websites.
In ACF version 5.5.13, they added a setting to remove the default WordPress custom field metabox to speed up the load times on the post edit page. The idea being that you shouldn’t need the default metabox since you’re using ACF.
However if you need to have the default WordPress custom field metabox enabled, then you need to add the following code to your WordPress theme’s functions.php file.
This will solve the custom fields option missing issue in WordPress.
We hope this article helped you fix the custom fields not showing issue on your WordPress site. You may also want to see our ultimate list of most useful WordPress tips, tricks, and hacks.
