# Install Darwin on WordPress

Integrations → WordPress: copy Darwin's site tag, add it to your site-wide footer with your theme or a header-and-footer plugin, clear the cache, and check the installation.

This is the Markdown version of https://www.meetdarwin.ai/help/website-platforms/wordpress, published by Darwin and generated on 23 October 2026.

Find it in Darwin: Integrations → Your website → WordPress (https://app.meetdarwin.ai/admin/settings/integrations/wordpress). Updated Oct 13, 2026.

Add Darwin once to your site-wide footer and every page gets the chat. You don't need a Darwin plugin or a block on each page.

1. **Open WordPress in Darwin**

   Open **Integrations** and select **Open guide** on the **WordPress** card, under **Your website**.

2. **Copy the tag**

   Select **Copy tag**. To hand the job to someone else, open **Email instructions to a developer**.

3. **Paste it into your site-wide footer**

   Paste the whole tag into your theme's footer, or into the footer field of a header-and-footer plugin such as WPCode (**Code Snippets → Header & Footer**). Keep the opening and closing script tags and any scripts already there, then save. Don't paste it into one post or a Custom HTML block.

4. **Clear the cache**

   If a caching plugin, your host or a CDN caches pages, clear it. Open your site signed out of WordPress to see what visitors see.

5. **Check the installation**

   Back in Darwin, select **Check installation**. If the tag is on a page other than your front page, enter that page under **Page to check first** before you check.

## Good to know

- Add your domain under **Agent Studio → Visibility & privacy → Allowed domains** first, or the chat won't run.
- Your WordPress plan or role must allow custom JavaScript. On WordPress.com, that means a plan that supports plugins.
- Works when you're signed in but not for visitors? Clear the page cache and check for snippet rules that limit the tag to administrators.
- To remove Darwin, delete the tag from your footer and clear the cache.
