Set-up Proofly with WordPress

Getting Proofly running on a WordPress website is quick and requires no coding at all. The easiest way is our free WordPress plugin, which drops the pixel into your site for you. Prefer to add the code yourself? That works too — see the manual method at the bottom.


Method 1 — the WordPress plugin (recommended)

Open your dashboard and select the domain (campaign) for your WordPress site
Go to the Installation tab
Scroll to the WordPress block and click Download plugin
In that same block, copy your personal site-key
In WordPress, go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, choose the downloaded ZIP, install it and click Activate
Open Settings in the left WordPress sidebar and scroll all the way down to Proofly site-key
Paste your site-key there and click Save changes

That is it. The plugin injects the Proofly pixel on every page, so your notifications go live immediately.

Your site-key is a single code that securely links the plugin to the right campaign and account, so you never have to touch any pixel code yourself.


Method 2 — add the pixel manually

If you would rather not use the plugin, you can paste the pixel code straight into your theme:
Copy the pixel code from the Installation tab of your campaign
In WordPress go to Appearance → Theme File Editor and open header.php (or use a header/footer scripts plugin)
Paste the code right before the closing </head> tag and save


Notice: many WordPress sites and hosts use caching. If you do not see anything pop up after installing, clear your WordPress/hosting cache (and any CDN cache) and hard-refresh the page with Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + R.
