How to Add the QR Code to WordPress

Adding your QR Code is quick and straightforward. You’ve got two simple options:

Method 1: Inline QR Code

Perfect for embedding inside your content – like your homepage, contact page, or product section.

  1. Select a template: Open the Elfsight editor and choose the layout.
  2. Personalize the widget: Customize your QR code’s color, shape, and link.
  3. Generate the code: Click “Add to website for free” to get your installation code.
  4. Embed it on your website: Open your WordPress dashboard, go to the page or post where you want the QR Code, click the “+” icon to add a new block, choose Custom HTML, paste your embed code from the Elfsight editor, and hit update – done!

Method 2: Floating QR Code

Ideal for a code that follows your visitors as they scroll, ready to scan anytime.

  1. Pick a template: In the Elfsight editor, choose the floating layout.
  2. Customize the widget: Adjust position, appearance, and link settings.
  3. Receive your code: When you are done with customization, click “Add to website for free”, then copy the code generated.
  4. Embed it: In WordPress, go to Appearance → Theme File Editor, open footer.php (or use a header/footer plugin), and paste your code before the closing </body> tag. Save and check your page – your QR is ready to scan.
