# How to install Clym on a WordPress website


## Step-by-step guide for installing Clym on your WordPress website

If you would like to invite your developer to your Clym Portal account, [here are instructions for how to add a new user to your account](https://clymio.crisp.help/en/article/how-to-add-a-user-to-your-clym-account-dk1u2v/). Installing Clym on a WordPress website is a 3-step process:

1. [Select the WordPress integration](#3-1-select-the-wordpress-integration)
2. [Add Clym code to your WordPress site](#3-2-add-clym-code-to-your-wordpress-site)
3. [Generate footer links such as "Privacy Center" and "Do not sell or share my personal information"](#3-3-generate-links-such-as-privacy-center-and-do-not-sell-or-share-my-personal-information)

### 1. Select the WordPress integration

Please [__sign in to your Clym Control Center account__](https://www.auth.clym.io/). From the left-hand side menu, toggle to **Integrate**. Click **Platform tools** to expand the menu options and choose **Widget**. From the screen, select **WordPress**.

**Note that, to facilitate compliance, this script has to be inserted as the first script under the "head" section of your website. Failure to do so might allow third-party scripts to be loaded on your website and, depending on regulation, that might result in non-compliance. For easy viewing, you may leave space in between the Clym script and any following scripts or code.**

### 2. Add Clym code to your WordPress site

Go back to your WordPress website. Find **Plugins** from the left-hand side navigation bar and select **Add New**.

Search for a plugin that will allow you to add custom header and footer code snippets, such as  [WPCode – Insert Headers and Footers + Custom Code Snippets – WordPress Code Manager](https://wordpress.org/plugins/insert-headers-and-footers/). When searching for **WPCode**, this is the first plugin that will appear. Click on **Install Now** and then click **Activate** to activate the plugin.

Once you have installed and activated the plugin, click on **Code Snippets** from the left-hand side of the navigation bar and select **Header & Footer**.

### 3. Generate links such as "Privacy Center" and "Do not sell or share my personal information"

Please return to your Clym account to generate custom links, that typically are used as part of your website's footer.

[For a step-by-step guide on how to generate footer links, please review this article](https://clymio.crisp.help/en/article/how-to-generate-a-custom-footer-link-x0laqs/).

Please note - there are multiple ways to add Clym's custom links to your WordPress website, depending on how your section/footer is built within your site. The below steps refer to one option. If your website has a different setup, please consult a developer or contact [support@clym.io](mailto:support@clym.io) for assistance.

Return to your WordPress dashboard and find **Appearance** in the left navigation menu. Select **Widgets**.

![Widgets](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/a/e/3/8/ae38f50f15c00000/wordpress-gif-6_dvd5g1.gif)

Scroll to the footer widgets and click into the footer widget that you would like to add the footer links to, based on wherever you would like for the links to display on your website's footer. *For example, adding your Clym embed codes into Footer 1 will add the links to the top of your website's footer.*

![Scroll to footer widget](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/a/e/3/8/ae38f50f15c00000/wordpress-gif-7_x7m712.gif)

Paste your embed codes one at a time into the **content** section of the footer widget where you would like the links to display. Click **Update**.

You're all set! Clym's widget will now display on your website based on how you set up your widget layout.

Please note that based on your geolocation, you may not see the privacy widget if there are no regulations that apply to your jurisdiction. If you would like to provide users a way to open the widget if this scenario applies to them, you can [add a footer link to your website](https://clymio.crisp.help/en/article/how-to-generate-a-custom-footer-link-x0laqs/).
