An Instagram feed helps you showcase your social media content right on your WordPress website. Visitors can view and engage with your Instagram content without having to leave your site.

In this step-by-step tutorial, we’ll show you how to connect your site to Instagram to display your content. This is an automated process and doesn’t require any coding knowledge. Let’s get started.

What You Need To Create an Instagram Feed in WordPress

You can add an Instagram feed to your site manually using code, however, this method is long and complicated.

A better solution is to use a WordPress plugin that lets you connect your website to Instagram. The best plugin for this is Smash Balloon.

Smash Balloon is a powerful social feeds plugin and it comes with a plugin that’s specifically designed for Instagram. It does not need any coding experience, making it easy to use. 

Smash Balloon lets you connect your website to Instagram in a couple of clicks. Then you can personalize your feed in ways that target your audience in a specific way. Let us see how:

• Multiple Feeds: Add various Instagram feeds on the same page or different pages on your site.
• Using hashtags: Connect your feed to hashtags on Instagram so that your feed is automatically updated when anyone posts using those hashtags. 
• Tags: Set up your feed so that anytime someone tags you on Instagram, it is added to your feed. 
• Entire feed: Simply add your whole Instagram timeline to your site feed. 

Besides these powerful Instagram feed customizable options, Smash Balloon still has many features to better your audience experience. 

• Smart data cache: Ensures images do not directly load from Instagram but use a cache system. This means the media files will load faster, offering a better experience. 
• Feed backup: Even if Instagram is down or experiencing issues, the smart data cache system offered by Smash Balloon ensures your feed is still displayed. 
• Image optimization: All images will load at an ideal file size to the screen size. As a result, fewer resources are wasted while giving the user the best experience. 
• SEO focus: The feed captions are crawlable by search engines, meaning your feed is rankable, making it a great SEO tool. Plus, since your site is constantly being updated with fresh content, your SEO further benefits as well. 

For this tutorial, we’ll be using Smash Balloon’s Instagram Feed plugin.

That said, Smash Balloon is really powerful and supports other social media platforms including YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook.

Now that you know which social media feeds plugin to use, let’s go straight to the tutorial.

How to Create an Instagram Feed for Your WordPress Site

Step 1: Install And Activate Smash Balloon

Smash Balloon’s Instagram Feed has a free and premium version. The free version is a powerful plugin in its own right; you can use it until you decide to upgrade.

To access the free version, go to your WordPress Plugin Repository to download and install it. Set it up as you would any other plugin. If you need help with that, follow our guide on How to Install a WordPress Plugin – 4 Methods (Step by Step).

For this tutorial, we’ll be using the pro version so that we can show you just how powerful this plugin is.

On the Instagram Feed website, sign up for an account and then proceed to ‘My Account.’

Here, download the ‘Instagram Feed Pro’ plugin file and copy the license key.

Go to your WordPress dashboard, then to the Plugins » Add New page. Here you can upload the plugin file.

Once Instagram Feed Pro is ready to use, a new item called Instagram Feed will appear on the left side menu on your WordPress dashboard.

Go to Instagram Feed » Settings and enter the license key you copied earlier.

Activate the license and with that, you’ should be’re ready to use Instagram Feed Pro. 

Step 2: Connect Your Instagram Account

With the plugin installed and activated, the next step is to connect your Instagram account. To do this, go to Instagram Feed » All Feeds. Here, go to the Add New button. 

Next, Select Feed Type. You’ll see the following options available:

• Fetch posts from your Instagram profile
• Fetch posts from a public Instagram hashtag
• Display posts your Instagram account has been tagged in

Interestingly, Smash Balloon does not limit you to selecting one Instagram feed type; you can choose all of them at once. However, we will select ‘Fetch posts from your Instagram profile’ for this tutorial. 

On the next page, you will be required to add a Feed Source. This is basically where your feed will fetch the content from.

After the Add Source page, you can either connect a personal account or a business account. We will select the business profile for this tutorial, which offers more features. 

Another window will appear, asking you if you have ever connected Smash Balloon with Facebook before, assuming this is the first time you have used this feed plugin, you should go with ‘No.’

Next, you will be asked to connect through your Facebook page. Since Meta owns Facebook and Instagram, connecting through Facebook is the best way to give Smash Balloon access. 

A popup window will appear next, asking you to continue with the Facebook profile logged in. Make sure you log in to the account tied to the correct Instagram and Facebook pages you want to use. 

Another popup window will display next, this time, you will need to select the Instagram pages you want to connect to Smash Balloon. Check the box next to the profile(s) you want to use.

In the next popup, connect the Facebook page associated with the Instagram profile by checking the box next to it.

In the next window, grant Smash Balloon the permissions it needs. The company will not share your information with anyone. Giving the plugin data access ensures that your feed displays everything it should without issues. 

To complete the connection, verify that the domain you want to connect with Smash Balloon is yours. This is just to confirm that you are giving Smash Balloon access.

Finally, a popup window will display next with a list of Instagram profiles you have connected to Smash Balloon. Check the box next to the page and proceed by selecting the Add button.

And just like that, you have fully connected Instagram Feed Pro from Smash Balloon with your WordPress site. 

Step 3: Create an Instagram Feed

With Smash Balloon connected, let’s create a new feed. On your WordPress menu, go to Instagram Feed » All Feeds. Select the source you have just added and proceed to the next page. 

On this page, pick the Feed theme. Remember, this is just the base and a starting point to build on; you can always change the theme later.

Among the feed themes, select one of Default, Modern, Social Wall, Outline, or Overlap options. Keeping things simple, we will go for the Default theme. 

After you choose the theme, next, select the template you want to use. You have plenty of options to go for. From Simple Grid, Simple Grid XL, Simple Row, Simple Carousel, Single Post, and more.

Remember, with Smash Balloon, you can always change the template later as well, if you feel another option will offer your audience a better experience. 

With all the basic configurations set, you will be redirected to the live feed editor, where you can customize the feed.

Step 4: Customize Your Instagram Feed

The live feed editor offers customization and setting options on the left and a live preview screen on the right. We will focus on the Customize menu for this tutorial. Select it, and you will see a list of customization options below it. 

Each time you click on a live feed editor menu and complete the customization process, you will see Customize with a small arrow next to it. Select it to go back to the Customize menu. 

To utilize the live feed editor properly, find the three icons on the far right upper corner: a desktop, tablet, and mobile. Here, you can see how the Instagram feed will appear for different screen sizes so you can offer your audience the best experience. 

Remember, we already customized the theme and template in the previous steps. As mentioned, You can modify them here as well if you want to. 

With that out of the way, let’s start with customizing the Feed Layout. You can go with Grid, Carousel, Masonry, and Highlights.

Scroll down the Feed Layout submenu to adjust the Feed Height, Padding, Number of Posts on different screen sizes, and finally, the number of columns for different screen sizes. Once you are satisfied with the layout, go back. 

Next, let’s customize the Color Scheme. By default, your feed will inherit your theme colors. You can decide to go with a light or dark mode. 

If you want to personalize the color scheme further, select Custom and use the Custom Palette to choose your desired colors. You can change the colors of the background, texts, links, and buttons.

Go back to the main menu when you are happy with the color scheme.

Now, let’s edit the Sections starting with the Header. First, enable the header if you want to display it on your feed. 

Next, pick a Header Style from the options provided. Select Standard, Boxed, Centered, or Text. Each Header style can be edited slightly differently when you scroll further down the Header menu. 

You can also edit the ‘Header Size.’ Then, decide if you want to upload a new Avatar to display in place of the default one from your Instagram account. 

Next, choose a Text color and decide if you want to show your users how many Instagram followers you have. 

You can then choose to have a bio. But, to give you more customization freedom, Smash Balloon gives you the option of writing a custom bio. 

While you’re still on the Header menu, decide if you want to show the scrollable area outside the feed. Finally, determine if you want Instagram stories included in the feed and how long they should be displayed before moving to the next Insta Story. 

That’s it, you can go back to the main customization menu. Next, to customize the Posts, you can modify:

• Post Style to standard or boxed
• Images and Video resolution
• Caption length, text size, and color
• Like and Comment Summary size and color
• Hover State, background text, and information to display

Once complete, go back to the primary Customize menu.

Smash Balloon also lets you choose if you want to display the Load More button. It doesn’t have to read ‘Load More.’ You can change it to whatever you want.

Then, customize the Background, Hover State, and Text colors. You can also decide to enable ‘Infinite Scroll’ so that users can view as many Instagram posts on your feed as they want. 

Need to change the ‘Follow Button’? There’s an option to customize the text first, background, hover state, and text colors.

Finally, enable Lightbox and ‘Comments,’ so your feed can display comments from the Instagram page. 

And with all these options customized, your feed is entirely personalized and ready to be added to your site. 

Step 5: Display Your Instagram Feed

Smash Balloon allows you to display your feed in a number of ways.

• Add to a page
• Add to a widget 
• Add feed via shortcode

To add the feed to a page, click on the Embed button at the top-right corner of your live feed editor. 

You will see the option to add the feed to a page on the next popup window.

Next, you will see a list of all the pages on your site, select the page you want to add the feed to. The page will open in a new tab so you can add your feed.

Alternatively, you can add the feed at any time to an existing or new page or post. Inside the Block editor, use the Plus icon to search for the ‘Instagram Feed’ block and add it to your page. You’ll see a preview of your feed appear.

Update the page, and your feed should appear on the live page as well. 

Next, we will add the feed through a widget. Again, find the Embed button on the far upper right corner of the live feed editor and select ‘Add to a Widget.’ 

After being redirected to the widget page, decide if you want to add the feed to the footer or on other types of widgets. 

For this tutorial, we want to add the feed to the footer. Select the footer widget to expand it so you can view its properties. 

Next, use the Plus icon and search for the ‘Instagram Feed.’ Drag and drop the Instagram Feed block to the location of the footer you want to display the feed. Hit Update to add it to your feed to the live page. 

Finally, let’s add the feed through a shortcode. With a shortcode, you can add the feed on ANY page, post, or a widget-ready location. 

The shortcode is particularly useful when you have multiple feeds to choose from or want to add many feeds to the same page or post.

You can locate the feed’s shortcode in two ways. 

First, you can go to Instagram Feed » All Feeds. You will see all your feeds listed; copy the shortcode next to the feed’s name. 

The other method of getting the shortcode is by going to Instagram Feed » All Feeds and opening the feed on the live feed editor. 

On the top-right corner, find the Embed button. In the popup that appears, you will see the shortcode at the top of the window; copy it. 

Now, with your shortcode at hand, open any page, post, or widget-ready location. For this tutorial, we will open a page. 

Using the Plus icon, search for ‘Shortcodes’ and add the block to your page.

Finally, paste the shortcode and update the page; the live site should now display the feed. 

Well done! You have now added a highly customized and personalized Instagram feed to your WordPress site. 

Now that you know how to use Smash Balloon to add an Instagram Feed, don’t stop there. There’s a lot more you can do with this plugin!

Ease of Setup Process

MemberPress

To get started with MemberPress, you need to sign up for an account on their website.

Then you can download and install the plugin. MemberPress will give you a license key that you’ll need to add inside WordPress. There’s also a setup wizard to guide you through the process. It’s pretty easy and straightforward and follows the same process as all popular plugins do.

If you need help installing a plugin, here is a guide to help you.

Now let’s take a quick tour of the setup wizard. Inside WordPress, go to MemberPress » Memberships and click on the Get Started button.

The setup wizard offers a step-by-step process to help you set up payment gateways, types of membership levels, and pricing options effortlessly.

Here, you can also assign unique benefits to each membership level and set up protection rules for content. 

If you do not complete anything during the initial setup, the setup wizard will display an error on every page to ensure you provide everything needed to offer memberships before you get going.

It will also automatically create pages and URLs for your subscription pages during setup; you can always make changes later.

The wizard is self-explanatory, so we won’t take you through every step. MemberPress has done a great job at making the introduction process easy and simple for all.

WishList Member

To get started with WishList, you need to head over to their website and choose a WishList Member package. Once you’re sign up, you can download the plugin file and install it in WordPress. 

The WishList Member menu will appear inside your WordPress menu. Go to the Setup page and hit the Get Started button to launch the setup wizard.

The plugin provides a step-by-step guide to configuring essential settings.

Unlike Memberpress, where you have to activate your plugin before setting it up, WishList Member includes the activation step in the setup wizard, making the process smoother.

The setup wizard also includes creating membership levels and defining access rules.

The plugin’s content protection features are also integrated into the setup process, enabling you to control which members can view specific pages, posts, or categories.

Winner: WishList Member

Reason: WishList Member provides a wizard that simplifies the initial setup. It walks you through essential settings like payment gateways, pricing options, and membership levels. You set up everything in this step, including activating the plugin itself. The simple step-by-step process reduces any potential confusion, making it great for users who are new to using WordPress. 

User Interface

MemberPress

MemberPress’s user interface is designed to be simple and effective. The dashboard is easy to use, and most setups are a 1-click process or drag and drop. 

If you are selling courses, one of the features of MemberPress is you do not need to figure out where they will live on your site. 

Go to MemberPress » Courses » Install and Activate the addon. 

In the Courses menu, go to New. In the page editor, you can add courses, curriculums, and settings and even create a certificate all in one place.

You do not need to create posts or pages for your courses or decide where they will live on your site. All you have to do is go to the Course menu to access all your courses in WordPress.

With drag-and-drop tools, you can make a curriculum, set up lessons, and make quizzes. Your site will be organized and neat, and you don’t need to know how to code.

WishList Member

The dashboard presents a clean layout. The menus are well organized to make navigation straightforward. 

You can quickly access important sections like membership levels, protection settings, and content dripping.

Its content protection setup utilizes a logical flow, which makes assigning access rules to different membership levels detailed and practical. 

Despite some advanced settings’ slightly steeper learning curve, the plugin balances simplicity and functionality.

Winner: MemberPress

Reason: MemberPress offers a well-organized dashboard and clear navigation. The setup wizard and menu structure make accessing essential features such as membership levels, content protection, pricing options, and integration settings easy.

While WishList Member also provides a user-friendly interface, MemberPress’s drag-and-drop functionality for content protection and the wizard setup process offer a smoother user experience. 

Memberships And Subscriptions

MemberPress

As you can see, MemberPress is a powerful tool to create memberships and subscriptions. 

It gives you full control over how you can structure the subscription models and how long the memberships can last. 

You can create multiple membership levels, each with its own set of access rules, pricing, and benefits.

Start at the MemberPress menu, then Rules » Add New to find the Content & Access controls.

This is especially beneficial if you want to offer tiered access or have various audiences you want to cater to. 

For instance, you can have a basic membership level catering to people new to the niche; a lower price and less in-depth, easy-to-read content could be a great entry point for them. 

For people who understand the topic better, a premium membership could be better as it will give access to all the content at the basic level and more in-depth content about the subject. For exclusive content, a VIP membership level would be ideal.

Remember, these are just examples. You are not limited to just three levels; MemberPress allows you to create unlimited membership levels. 

Infinite membership levels allow you to market your products differently. 

Sometimes, controlling different subscriptions based on membership levels can get confusing.

That’s why the Content & Access feature is so powerful as it helps you manage your subscriptions with more precision. 

Go to Protected Content so you can protect specific pages, posts, categories, and even custom post types based on the rules you set.

This means that other than locking out people based on their level, you can also control specific pages each level can access. 

Furthermore, you can offer limited and timed access to new users or people you want to upgrade through trial and discount offers.

To do this, go to Coupons » Add New. By going to Coupon Options, you can create and manage coupons and discounts to attract new members or reward loyal ones.

You can select how many times a coupon can be used. You can also choose if it is a standard discount, a first-time discount for new members, or offered for the trial period. 

These customization features can help you experiment and better target your audience based on the reaction to offers. 

WishList Member

WishList Member allows you to set up multiple membership levels, each with its own specific access permissions, content, and pricing.

Start by going to WishList Member » Setup » Levels. To create a name for your level, go to the Plus icon.

Once the level is created, you can make adjustments and lock your content with the settings.

Like with MemberPress, you can protect various types of content, such as pages, posts, categories, and custom post types, restricting access based on membership levels.

You can also set up unlimited membership levels with this plugin. 

WishList Member offers trial periods for your memberships, allowing users to sample your content before committing to a full subscription.

One unique feature WishList Members offers is Archive Content, which gives members access to certain content even if they are no longer subscribers. 

Simply, members who subscribed when the content was initially available can continue to access the archived content even after their subscription is inactive. 

To create Archive Content, go to the WishList Member menu on WordPress, then Content Control. A Setting menu will appear, Enable Content Archiver in the options provided.

You can give access to posts pages or whatever other types of content are on your page. 

You can even decide how long these past members can access your content. 

This can help build loyalty and bring back former subscribers.

Winner: MemberPress

Reason: Even though Archive Content is a great feature, we will give the win to MemberPress. MemberPress offers more flexibility and features in managing memberships and subscriptions.  

It offers advanced access control, content restriction options, and versatile subscription management features. 

The ability to control content access by membership levels, subscription durations, and specific dates can be a game changer for anyone looking at different subscription ways. 

Member and Pricing Pages

MemberPress

This subscription plugin comes with tools to design pages. 

Using the Ready Launch builder, MemberPress enables you to design visually stunning pricing pages that effectively communicate the value of your memberships. 

Access Ready Launch Builder by going to MemberPress » Setting » Ready Launch.

You can provide detailed information about each tier, including its benefits, features, and pricing. 

Each page is mobile-friendly, allowing you to better your user experience on any sized screen. 

Ready Launch builder pages come with strong calls to action and other page elements that help better your conversion rate. 

Follow this up by creating Reserve Pages like signup pages, where new members can select a membership plan, and Thank You pages.

To create a Reserve Page, go to your WordPress dashboard, then MemberPress » Setting » Pages.

WishList Member

WishList Member enables you to create dedicated pages and posts highlighting different things on your membership site.

Wishlist member uses a more familiar approach to create posts and pages. The process is similar to how you would create traditional WordPress pages and posts.

Go to the WishList Member menu, then navigate to All Pages, and then add a New Page.

You can add page elements at this point in the same way you would use your WordPress Editor.  

At this point, you can also protect the individual page. All you have to do is scroll, and below the WordPress editing area, you will see a WishList Member section.

Go to Protection & Access, then select who can access the pages.

WishList Member takes a similar approach to how WordPress traditionally creates pages when also making the pricing and registration pages.

However, you will need a registration shortcode. A registration shortcode can be used in any post or page.

On the page, go to the point on the page you would like to add the registration form and add a block. Search for ‘shortcode’ in the search bar and click on it.

Use this shortcode:

[wlm_register “Level Name”]

Replace the words “Level Name” with the name of the membership level.

For example, we want to create a registration form for our Platinum level. So we will replace the words “Level Name” with “Platinum.”

Now save and go to the live page to see your registration form.

This page serves as a guide for potential subscribers. This means you should Include detailed descriptions of each tier’s benefits, features, and pricing options. 

Winner: MemberPress

Reason: MemerPress offers an easy way to create pages with powerful tools to customize them. You can use these tools to help implement paywall rules. Even though the WishList Member page creation process is grounded on how WordPress creates pages, it still has additional steps that can be confusing.

Content Dripping 

Content dripping offers better control over your content. It helps maintain member interest and encourages them to stay subscribed for longer periods. When you release content bit by bit, people get excited and see more value. 

Let’s see what MemberPress and WishList have to offer in this area.

MemberPress

MemberPress content dripping is a feature that releases content to your members gradually over time. It helps create structured learning experiences and enhances member engagement. 

To add content dripping, In your MemberPress dashboard in WordPress, first go to Rules, then Add New.

On the new page, find Drip/Expiration and enable the options here.

You will have the option to choose how many days of registration the user can access the content. 

You can create a content drip based on members’ registered fixed dates and member purchases. 

Next, you can enter the number of days the user will have to wait to access the content and how long they have access to it. This ensures the process runs on autopilot.

WishList Member

WishList Member allows for a better step-by-step learning experience through content dripping. Members are more likely to stay active and subscribed when they know there’s always something valuable coming their way.

WishList Member refers to content dripping as Sequential Upgrade.

To add Sequential Upgrade, first go to your WishList Member WordPress dashboard. Then go to the Members » Sequential Upgrade page.

Here, you’ll see options to add new modules after a specific number of days. You can also make the content either available to or hidden from certain membership levels.

Winner: MemberPress

SeedProd is the best website and landing page builder for WordPress. It’s designed to be beginner-friendly so you won’t have any trouble learning how to use this builder.

You can choose from 200+ stunning page templates and even entire website theme kits. To customize your design, all you have to do is drag and drop new elements and modules to where you want them to appear. You can also click to edit any type of content, such as text, videos, and images.

Just these features make it a great alternative to Divi, but there’s more!

To ensure you do not forget the most important parts of a page, be it for SEO purposes or to improve user experience, SeedProd offers smart sections. 

You can add these prebuilt reusable sections, such as headers and calls to action, to your page. 

Since they streamline the page-building process, they save you time and help maintain consistent design elements throughout your WordPress site. 

SeedProd still stays true to what made it so popular, which is creating maintenance or coming soon pages. You can enable these modes with just a click in the SeedProd dashboard:

SeedProd also lets you add elements to your coming soon page so you can drive traffic to your site even before you launch it. To give you a better idea of how powerful this feature is, here’s what you can do with your coming soon page:

• Display a launch countdown to excite your audience
• Share your social media links to build traffic even before you launch
• Showcase promo content to advertise your potential services
• Add email signup forms to get early potential leads
• Play background videos to educate your audience
• Offer interactive quizzes and surveys to keep your audience engaged and collect data

Added to this, SeedProd integrates with popular email marketing providers such as MailChimp, Zapier, and GetResponse.

And to protect you from spam, SeedProd uses Recaptcha by Google ensuring all the leads you receive are quality and can convert. 

WordPress security tip: Perhaps the best security feature SeedProd offers is that you can customize your backend login page and URL. If someone wants to brute force your site, they won’t be able to easily find the login page itself.

Here are the pros and cons of the SeedProd builder:

Pros:

• User-friendly interface
• Mobile-ready and responsive 
• Live previews
• Compatible with all WordPress themes 
• Free and affordable pricing plans
• Integrates with most email marketing list builders
• eCommerce elements and WooCommerce integration
• Revision history allows you to go back to a saved point

Price: The premium version starts at $39.50 per year for 1 website.

2. Thrive Themes

Thrive Themes is a powerful WordPress theme and theme builder. You can choose from themes that include Shapeshift, Ommi, and Kwik. There are even layouts within the themes that you can choose from to customize your site.

What’s really cool is that the site setup wizard will get you up and running in just a couple of minutes.

Once you open up the theme builder, you’ll see an easy navigation section to quickly switch between designing the header, content, sidebar, footer, and more.

Inside this builder, there are hundreds of pre-designed sections and templates to customize your header, footer, blog post template, page template, and more

To create customized pages and posts, there’s Thrive Architect – a powerful WordPress page builder. This lets you easily place the different elements exactly where you want on a page without coding experience.

You can either access Thrive Architect as a stand-alone plugin or as part of Thrive Suite.

Once installed, the plugin is effortless to locate and use because the Edit with Thrive Architect option is next to every page or post. 

You can also launch the Thrive Architect Editor once you open any page or post, again giving you various ways to access and use the plugin.

This Divi alternative focuses on lead conversion, making it great for businesses.

For example, it can help you find quality leads through opt-in forms, which come in different designs, such as popup, slide-in, and inline forms. The various form designs can work as excellent lead magnets for different types of pages or page sections. 

To capitalize on FOMO, Thrive Architect offers countdown timers to build a sense of urgency, encouraging immediate action. On the other hand, using the progress bar feature can help you better user engagement, which, in turn, can help your visitors complete tasks like filling out forms.  

Thrive lets you customize everything about a page element on both the backend and frontend editors. But if you do not have experience or need quick recommendations, the plugin comes with plenty of pre-made elements. 

Take the ‘Button’ element, for example. Thrive comes with dozens of button templates ready to use, all seamlessly designed. However, you can also further edit each button template to fit your style. 

You can edit the color, size, border, position, and animation. You can also make the button a nofollow link or open it in a new tab straight from the live editor.  

Thrive Architect comes with over 350+ pre-designed layouts, giving you a starting point to personalize each page differently and quickly. Like elements, this Divi alternative allows you to edit the pre-designed page layouts extensively. 

What’s more, you can import/export templates and use them to create similar pages with different content, making your site creation process more streamlined, uniform, and faster. 

As you can see, Thrive Themes focuses on giving endless customization options.

It even offers advanced personalization, as you can change how the site sidebar appears and position the post layouts and header however you want. 

A cool feature that stands out about Thrive is that it allows for dynamic content changes. This is when the content areas change depending on the content displayed. 

Pros:

• Instant drag-and-drop editing
• Smart landing page templates
• Powerful conversion optimization elements
• Preview on different screen sizes
• Dynamic animations and effects

Setup & Installation

Duplicator, UpdraftPlus, and BackupBuddy are some of the easiest plugins to install. They require no technical experience.

Duplicator and UpdraftPlus have free versions available in the WordPress plugin repository.

To access the free version of the plugins, go to your WordPress dashboard, then Plugins » Add New, and search for it by its name. Then simply install and activate the plugin.

If you’re looking to use their premium version, all you need to do is go to their official website, download the plugin file, and upload it to your site.

BackupBuddy does not have a free version so you can only download the premium version on its official site.

Let’s take a more detailed look at each plugin here:

Duplicator

To get Duplicator Pro, head to their officail website. Select a package that suits your needs, then go to My Accounts. Here download the plugin’s zip file and copy the ‘License Key’ which is unique to you. 

Next, you need to upload this plugin file under the Plugins » Add New page.

In your WordPress menu go to the Duplicator Pro » Settings » Licensing page and paste the code here. 

And that’s it! You now have Duplicator Pro installed and activated in WordPress!

With Duplicator, you may need to load different pages to find the feature you need. These extra steps may seem longer. 

Remember, each of these plugins aims to make its setup user-friendly in its own way. 

Duplicator uses different feature pages with as little content as possible to get a clean uncluttered look, ensuring less confusion. 

The use of white spaces in the page design gives beginners a sense of calmness, helping them find what they need quickly, which, in turn, makes the plugin easy to use.

UpdraftPlus

To install UpdraftPlus Premium, first sign up for UpdraftPlus plan.

Then you’ll get access to the UpdraftPlus plugin file that you can download to your local computer.

In your WordPress dashboard, go to the Plugins » Add New page, and upload the UpdraftPlus file here

Once installed, activate the plugin.

Go to Settings » UpdraftPlus Backups, then locate the ‘Premium/Extensions’ tab.

Enter your UpdraftPlus account details, connect, and claim your add-ons. Your page will refresh after that. Configure your backup settings in the UpdraftPlus settings to complete the setup.

Unlike the other two plugins, which menus are added to the left WordPress dashboard menu directly, UpdraftPlus is a little different. It will be added as a Setting submenu.

You will need to go to Settings » UpdraftPlus Backups before you are redirected to the plugin’s menu. 

The downside to this approach is the plugin is out of view after installation, making it tricky to locate.

Even though the UpdraftPlus menu is a little hidden initially, once you find it, you will be redirected to a one-page menu. 

You can now access all its features on this page under different, well-arranged, and visually appealing tabs. 

You will not need to load any new pages to back up your files; just click on the Backup/Restore tab to display the options here. 

The logs and backups are timestamped, ensuring everything is well organized.

To make it easy to find everything, the fonts and colors used in UpdraftPlus are bold and loud.

BackupBuddy

BackupBuddy does not have a free version like the other tools on this list. Therefore, you can only download the premium version from their official website. 

After buying BackupBuddy from iThemes, download and install it. Then, log in to your iThemes Account in WordPress.

Next, go to Setting » iTheme Licensing, and enter your Username and Password to log in to iThemes.

After signing in, BackupBuddy will automatically identify your premium package. Next, simply set up the backup location and how often you want to back up your site, and you are done. 

BackupBuddy also follows a similar design to Duplicator, where they focus on clean pages.

BackupBuddy ensures new WordPress users have an easy time locating everything by focusing on large icons and as little text as possible.

The design is straightforward, and you can easily spot the backup feature on the plugin menu.
It does not feel overwhelming as everything you need is well displayed and easy to locate. 

Setup and Installation Winner: Duplicator

It has the most simple setup and installation process. Plus, the dashboard is so easy to use and navigate. We didn’t come across anything complicated. Plus, everything comes with little notes in case you didn’t understand any part of the process.

Backup & Restore

Coming to the most important part of this comparison, the backup and restore features of each plugin. Let’s take a look at what they have to offer.

Duplicator

The best backup plugins aim to make file storage convenient, secure, and hard to corrupt. To achieve this, Duplicator uses packages. 

A Package is a combination of files that add up to make the full backup.

To get started with Packages, go to Duplicator Pro » Packages, then Create New. 

For most processes in Duplicator, the plugin will offer a progress bar to show what steps you need to take to complete the task.

This can help you know if you are on the right track or in case you have missed anything.

During package creation, the steps you need to take are displayed at the top.

On this page, create a name of the backup and choose a template, if any.

Next, choose the backup location. You can store it locally on your PC or add an external cloud by clicking Add Storage.

Finally, decide whether you want to backup all files, just the media files and the database, or create a custom backup.

Proceed to the next page, where the plugin will scan for errors and malware. 

Ideally, all the items after the scan should be in green and read ‘Good’ to indicate no errors.

After being given the green light by the plugin, go to Build to create the backup file. 

Once the backup is created, the page will reload. You can choose to download the backup or send it to cloud storage. In this instance, we will download the backup file to our PC.

Duplicator’s step-by-step backup process is easy and quick.

To add to this, the templated approach can be used repeatedly, resulting in a much smoother process.

A backup plugin is only as good as its restoration process. As mentioned, the package Duplicator creates ensures the backup and site restoration processes are just as fast.

A package comes in two parts: The Archive File and the Archive Installer File.

The Archive File is the actual backup file and what we will use to restore the site in this case.

On the other hand, an Archive Installer File or Installer File, as it is commonly known, allows you to install an entire WordPress site on an empty website from your Archive File backup. 

It comes in handy to shorten site duplication, cloning, or migration processes, as you do not need to install WordPress first on the new site; the plugin will do everything for you.

You can find both files in Packages under the list of backups you have created.

Click on the small arrow on the far right next to the backup file. A dropdown menu showing both package files will appear; download the Archive File.

To restore a site with the Archive File, go to Duplicator Pro » Import.

You will see the options to either Import File or Import Link.

Drag and drop the backup file we previously downloaded to the PC, and the plugin will start uploading it.

The plugin will do another quick scan just to make sure the file does not have malware or is corrupt before you continue.

Here, decide if you want this to be your recovery point, which will allow you to quickly restore the site moving forward. You can also choose to use a URL as your recovery point.

The recovery point creates a fast and easy restore option, meaning you will not need to go through this long process.

Once this is done, launch the Installer.

The Installer is fully automated. Just follow the validation process, and the plugin will extract the files leading to a full recovery of your site.

Once the recovery process is complete, you will be asked to log in to your WordPress site again as an added security feature.

We know this process may seem a little long, but, as mentioned, there is a simpler and faster way to restore your site with Duplicator after the first backup.

Automatically, if you build a full package like the one above, without excluding any of the core WordPress files or database tables, you can use the file as a recovery point.

Look for the recovery icon next to the name of the backup package. Once you spot it, go to the far right and click on the arrow icon to reveal the package’s dropdown menu.

Launch the Recovery Point installer wizard, which will load in a new tab. The recovery wizard will check for any issues like with the long recovery method.

If none, accept the terms and conditions and go to Restore Recovery Point, then confirm installation since it is a manual process.

Duplicator will start the recovery process. Once complete, it will ask you to log in again like with the longer recovery process.

Simple! You are done.

UpdraftPlus

UpdraftPlus has some of the best backup functionalities. Let’s start with its backup process.

It is important to mention that the UpdraftPlus backup process is a little different. 

To get started, go to Setting » UpdraftPlus Backups » Backup Now. This will open a pop-up window.

Check or uncheck the boxes in the pop-up window telling the plugin the exact files you want to save and where to send the backup file. 

You can also mark the box that says ‘Only allows this backup to be deleted manually’ for added protection.

Click the Backup Now button to start the backup process.

Once the backup is created, you can download the media, themes, plugins, and database backup files separately.

UpdraftPlus mainly splits the backup into multiple files to increase security, manage your files better, and make it easy for its other features, like incremental backups, to work smoothly.

The split files can add some difficulty when you need to back up, restore, or migrate your site as a newbie.

If you need further assistance, check out this article for a step-by-step tutorial on how to use Updraftplus to back up and restore your site.

You may wonder if splitting files makes recovery harder with UpdraftPlus. Since the plugin saves the files in your WordPress dashboard, you do not need to do a manual recovery by downloading the files first.

Instead, all you have to do is Restore from the backup options you have.

Go to Settings » UpdraftPlus Backups » Backup/Restore. Using the backup date, find the file you want to use and hit the Restore button.

Choose the components you want to restore and go to the next page.

The restoration process should start, let the plugin run through all its processes.

Once the recovery process is complete, the plugin will ask you to Return to UpdraftPlus Configuration.

That’s all there is to it.

BackupBuddy

As mentioned, BackupBuddy focuses on making the backup process easy by using large icons to showcase the different backup options. 

Go to the BackupBuddy menu and proceed to the Backups submenu.

On the Create Backup tab, you can choose to do a complete, database, themes, plugins, or media backup. 

If you do not like any of the default backup options, you can Create New Profile and customize it to your liking.

The process is highly automated, and you only need to click on the option you want.

On the next page, you will see a loading icon as the plugin processes your data. Once this is done, the backup process is complete. You do not need to do anything else! 

You can now download the zip file or send it to an offsite destination with a click of a button. 

To restore a site, all you have to do is go to the BackupBuddy menu and proceed to the Backups submenu. In the Restore Backup tab, go to Restore Files.

Next, manually select the files and Folders you want to restore and proceed to the next step.

The plugin will take over the restoration process by unzipping and uploading files from your backup to your WordPress Site. Once The process is complete, you can Visit Site or View Restores.

The process is visual and fast, making it look like a video game loading process. 

Backup & Restore Winner: BackupBuddy

Reason: This was a close race, with BackupBuddy and Duplicator leading. We must give the point to BackupBuddy for the simple, visually appealing process. Duplicator offers plenty of options in a simple and detailed way. You can customize your scheduled backup in any way you like. 

UpdraftPlus has multiple unique features and Duplicator can provide amazing backup options for large files. However, BackupBuddy has dedicated cloud storage for added convenience.

Scheduled Backups

Scheduled backups are a great way to automate the process and give you peace of mind.

Duplicator

Duplicator has a simple yet detailed backup scheduling process. 

First, in your WordPress dashboard, go to Duplicator Pro » Schedules » Add New.

On the page added, name the file and select a template, if any.

Select the storage option you want by either going for a cloud or local solution. In this case, we will go for local storage.

Select the backup frequency, which can be scheduled down to specific days of the month, specific days in a week, specific days, and exact times of the day. 

Check the enable box and save the schedule. 

Duplicator has grown because of its efficiency and many unique features.

One backup feature that makes Duplicator efficient and unique is it can handle ANY sized website. 

There have been confirmed backups created with Duplicator of sites over 100GB. This is an achievement not many plugins can boast about. 

It all comes down to the package technology the plugin uses. It allows for quick and easy backup creation, regardless of the site size.

UpdraftPlus

UpdraftPlus is designed to make practical scheduled backups that you can depend on.

To set scheduled backups with UpdraftPlus, first, go to Settings » UpdraftPlus Backups in your WordPress dashboard. On the plugin menu, go to the Settings tab.

Change the backup from manual to Scheduled Backup. Next, choose the type of scheduling you want, ranging from every hour to monthly. 

Next, select the number of backups to retain. This way, you have more backup options.

You will need to select the database and file backups separately. UpdraftPlus has many cloud storage options; pick one that is ideal for your needs.

Next, check and or uncheck files to exclude before you Save Changes.

The UpdraftPlus scheduling process may not be ideal for beginners because of how rigid the process is. You can only choose a schedule from the dropdown options provided.

But UpdraftPlus comes with other great features as well. One is incremental backups.

This feature only saves the new data added after your last full backup. It is a great way to save time and resources by eliminating repetitive backups. 

With a full backup, all the source files, themes, and content from years or months back are re-saved every time you back up your site. This means you may have multiple copies of the same data saved over and over. 

An incremental backup can save you time and resources that are often wasted with full backups. 

One of the greatest fears of any website owner is that updates and changes can break their site. And this is the main reason to have scheduled backups. 

However, UpdraftPlus goes a step further by ensuring even if you do not have a backup, your data is still safe through pre-update backups. 

The plugin will create a full backup of your site before any updates to plugins, themes, and cores. So, whatever happens, your data and website are safe. 

For these reasons, UpdraftPlus is a popular backup option for e-commerce and WooCommerce sites that are large and constantly being updated both in the back end by site owners or the front end through acquiring new customers.

BackupBuddy

BackupBuddy also has a straightforward scheduling process.

Go to BackupBuddy » Schedules » Add Schedule.

Create a name for the scheduled backup and select if you want a full backup or a specific type of backup file.

For the backup interval, select from the dropdown the frequency. You can also choose the date of the next backup. 

Add a remote storage location. If you want, check the box allowing the plugin to delete the local backup after creating a successful offsite backup. 

Finally, enable backup and Add Schedule. 

The BackupBuddy schedule process looks clean, but the dropdown menu may be confusing. 

Furthermore, its scheduling options are limited as you can only select from the dropdown menu.

Most backup plugins do not have a dedicated cloud solution because they want you to pick the most ideal for your needs. 

However, this comes with a few drawbacks. Your backup files may be less protected since you may use your cloud storage to do other things other than keeping backups, creating vulnerabilities. 

Furthermore, you may end up deleting the files accidentally when your cloud storage gets full. 

BackupBuddy helps you avoid this problem by offering you 1GB of dedicated storage space designed for backups called Stash Live. 

One of its most impressive features is that it actively tracks changes in your site and pushes this new data to your Stash Live storage which is a great incremental backup solution. 

The iThemes dashboard also allows you to run remote sync. It takes snapshots of your site periodically and sends the live backup of your site to your email, where you can easily download it. 

If you want to access these files, all you have to do is log into your iThemes Sync account and download the files. 

Scheduled Backups Winner: UpdraftPlus

Reason: While all plugins have scheduled and automated backup options, we’re giving this one to UpdraftPlus for its incremental technology which makes it a great option for eCommerce sites.

Security and Malware Protection

Safety should be one of the top concerns of every site owner. 

A security breach can affect more than just your site. Your personal or financial information may be affected as well. 

Before we get into details, remember that all these tools use industry-standard AES-256 encryption, part of the reason they are some of the best backup plugin solutions.

Duplicator

As mentioned earlier in this post, one of the best features of Duplicator is scanning your site for malware and errors before building a package.

We should also add that it scans your backup before using it on your site, and conducts a health check and further tests. After the tests, it offers ways to improve your site.

As an added security measure, Duplicator allows you to give specific access powers to individual users.

Each user can be granted feature-specific access according to their role. This ensures that if you have multiple users, they can only access the features they use. 

To use this feature, go to Duplicator Pro » Settings » Access.

User-specific permissions reduce the chances of human error and increase accountability. 

To add to this, the installer file is password protected, adding another layer of security and ensuring that only authorized individuals with the password can initiate the site restoration process.

UpdraftPlus

UpdraftPlus does not scan the files before creating a backup. However, since it separates the files in the form of databases, media files, plugins, and uploads, there is more control of the data access points. And the information is not all accessible at the same time.

UpdraftPlus Premium ensures your files are secured by offering password protection to backup files. 

Even if hackers somehow get your WordPress password, you still have an added layer of protection. 

UpdraftPlus’ password protection is also handy for sites with multiple admins. It provides limited access to your most important data and controls who can access it.

But with this plugin, it is not enough to just protect your user information with a password. 

UpdraftPlus Premium automatically anonymizes user personal data. So even if someone actually gets your data, it will not be very useful to them.

BackupBuddy

BackupBuddy works with its parent company iThemes to improve security. 

The best way to secure your site with BackupBuddy is by downloading the iThemes security plugin. 

This plugin is a premium addon, meaning you will need to pay extra for better site security.

Such third-party extensions may add vulnerabilities even if used to improve security. 

For security, the fewer access points, the better.

BackupBuddy scans your files for any malware. However, it is a more manual process while offering plenty of indepth information. 

More information is often great for seasoned WordPress users. The downside to this is that it may offer information overload, which can be confusing for beginners. 

Furthermore, the information provided does not offer any easy-to-fix solutions like Duplicator.  

The scan only checks if backups are clean and may fix tiny errors in some files during backup.

Security and Malware Protection Winner: Duplicator 

Reason: Duplicator is strong on controlling access by giving each user-specific privileges and offers accountability and security.

UpdraftPlus offers good security protocols through password protection and automatic file anonymity. However, it does not scan files before and after backups which can sometimes be risky.

BackupBuddy offers a lot of information during the scans. It can also fix small bugs. But you may need coding experience if you get a bigger problem.

Plugin Support & Documentation

Good support can improve user experience and ensure that you use the plugin to its full potential with ease. 

Duplicator

Duplicator has compiled one of the most comprehensive documentation on a plugin. However, having such a large documentation can be confusing. 

That is why Duplicator has arranged its user guide in a one-page block format. So that whatever you need can be easily found without scrolling through pages.

Once you open the tab on the main page, the documents are also arranged in a way that ensures you can still follow the information step by step. 

Duplicator has a simple yet detailed support form. Fill out your name, email, area you need support with, subject, and message. And that’s it. 

They usually get back to you within 24 hours. 

UpdraftPlus

UpdraftPlus’ documentation is in blog format, on their YouTube channel, FAQs, and forums. 

Their forum allows both their tech support and other users to help. This is a great way to build a community. 

However, the forum does not always answer all your questions, and it can take time to get a response, especially if you need to take action right away. 

To contact UpdraftPlus, you must first be a paying customer before filling out their support form. 

They state that they will get back to you in 24 hours. However, the form may look complicated and crowded for a newbie, which can discourage many from contacting support. 

BackupBuddy

BackupBuddy has a more straightforward support window where you can select what you need from a dropdown menu. 

But, since the plugin uses iThemes’ support, their customer care team may not be fully dedicated to BackupBuddy.  

You will find BackupBuddy documentation on the iThemes site. The information can be a little hard to find since iThemes uses the same documentation portal for all its products. 

Once you find the plugin’s documentation on the site, the text and link format they use may require you to do a little searching until you find what you are looking for. 

However, you can use the search bar to make it easier.

Support & Documentation Winner: Duplicator 

Reason: Picking a winner here was a little tricky. It was a close call between Duplicator and UpdraftPlus. However, we love how simple and straightforward the Duplicator contact form is. The documentation structure ensures you can quickly understand their tutorials and need little handholding.

Pricing Plans

Duplicator Pricing

As mentioned, Duplicator offers a free version of the plugin. It has 4 packages you can choose from. 

The price starts at $99 for two sites to $499 for the elite package for up to 100 sites. However, this plugin is often 50% off to all its new users, making it even more affordable. 

Duplicator Pro offers a 14-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. So for whatever reason, you feel it is not a good fit, you can ask for your money back.

UpdraftPlus Pricing

Like Duplicator, UpdraftPlus offers a free plugin version you can use before purchase. This can help you assess whether it is right for you.

It offers flexible payment options because you can choose a manual or a subscription plan. 

Instead of looking for a refund after they automatically deduct the amount from your account, you can decide to pay manually from the beginning. This way, you are the only one who can start the payment process.

UpdraftPlus also offers an annual subscription, with the lowest starting at $70 for two sites and the biggest package at $195 for unlimited sites.

They also carry out promos often that you can take advantage of and save money.

You can request a refund in the first 10 days of subscribing by filling in the support form. 

BackupBuddy Pricing

This backup plugin has a very straightforward pricing model. Basic, Plus, and Agency. 

However, it does not have a free version, meaning users cannot try it out before buying it. 

Their lowest subscription, which is $99 a year, serves one site, while their largest subscription serving 10 sites, is $299.

To get addons like security features, you will need to make an additional purchase of $749.

For a refund, you must request it in the first 30 days. 

If it is a recurring subscription, they will send an email 1 week before the due date, creating the perfect opportunity to cancel. 

Pricing Winner: Duplicator

Reason: Because of the many discounts and an affordable price point, we will give it to Duplicator. Even though it may appear more expensive in the beginning, the features offered in each package make it value for money. 

Final Verdict

Price drop campaigns show popup notifications when your brand reduces the price of a product. Sending your visitors alerts allows you to improve engagement and maximize sales on your website.

In this tutorial, we’re going to show you how to alert your customers of a price drop in WooCommerce. But first, let’s go over why doing so is good for your business.

Why Alert Customers About a Price Drop?

There are many benefits of using a price drop alert for your eCommerce store. Here are the top 3:

1. Re-engage Visitors

When customers receive a web push notification informing them about a price drop, it helps re-engage them. The notification leads back to your website which helps you improve engagement and collect user data.

2. Increase Revenue

If customers feel intrigued enough by your offer that they click through to your site, they’re likely to make a purchase. This leads visitors through the sales funnel so your business increases its revenue.

3. Drive Traffic to Your Online Store

Visitors who receive an alert from your store have been waiting for a price drop. So when they finally receive a notification, they’ll be quick to navigate to your online store. This increases your site traffic and increases your overall conversions.

Now that we know the benefits of using a price drop alert for your eCommerce store, let’s look at how to make one for your WooCommerce site step-by-step.

How to Alert Your Customers of a Price Drop Using PushEngage

In this tutorial, we’re going to alert customers of a price drop using PushEngage.

PushEngage is the best web push notification plugin for WordPress. It makes it easy to create web push notifications that appear on visitors’ browsers and bring them back to your website.

With PushEngage’s Growth plan or Enterprise plan, you gain access to its Price Drop Alert feature.

Customers choose their desired price range for a specific product. If that item’s price drops, they receive a push notification alert that sends them back to that brand’s website.

It takes as little as 15 minutes to create a Price Drop Alert campaign from start to finish. It’s a quick and easy way to stay connected to your customers and encourage them to continue coming back to your website.

Learn more in our Complete PushEngage Review.

Let’s get started on how to set up a price drop campaign for your website using PushEngage.

Step 1: Create a PushEngage Account

Sign up for PushEngage by selecting the Growth or Enterprise plan. Once you’ve done that, you can log in to your PushEngage account to get started.

Step 2: Create an Alert

From the dashboard’s left menu, navigate to Campaign » Triggered Campaigns:

Here, you can click on the ‘Create New Triggered Campaign’ button to get access to all the campaign types available.

Here you’ll see a block menu with different campaigns you can set up including:

• Custom trigger campaigns
• Browse abandonment
• Cart abandonment
• Price drop
• Back in stock alert

We’re going to choose to create a new price drop campaign.

This will set up a campaign for you that you simply need to customize. You’ll be redirected to a page where you’ll see the new campaign.

First, you can choose when this notification gets sent. You can choose to send it immediately after user subscribes, or wait a few days.

Next, you can click on the little arrow icon at the far right to edit the content of this campaign.

You can also set up new notifications here to target multiple products and URLs.

Now, when you edit the campaign, you’ll see a form that lets you add a notification title, message, URL, and image.

You’ll see a preview of your campaign on your right. You can also send test notifications to make sure your campaign looks great!

Once you’re done, click on the Trigger Settings button to head to the next step. Here, you’ll see options to change the campaign expiry. You can choose a set number of days or a specific time to run a sale. The default is set to 30 days but you can change this at any time.

This is also where you can control when the notification gets sent. So if the price falls by $10 or 10%, a push notification will automatically go out to your audience.

Below this, you can set the trigger limits.

The Daily Limit determines how many notifications users will receive in a day. The Weekly Limit determines how many notifications users will receive in a week.

In the next box, you can adjust the settings for the UTM parameters:

UTM parameters help you track your Price Drop campaign’s performance so you can stay on top of your conversions. They’re tags you add to your URL.

When a user clicks on that URL, those tags are sent back to Google Analytics for tracking. You can enable or disable this feature by checking or unchecking Add UTM Parameters.

Once you’re done configuring the settings, hit the Activate Triggered Campaign button.

Now, you’ll be redirected back to the campaign menu. Here, you can use the three vertical dots any time you want to edit this campaign. You can also export data, duplicate the campaign, get the campaign embedding code, or delete the campaign.

In the same section, you can also preview your campaign and pause/unpause it.

That’s it! You’ve learned how to send price drop alerts to your customers.

Step 3: Monitor Your Price Drop Campaign Analytics

Once your alert campaign goes live, it’s important to track its performance so you know what’s working and what isn’t. Simply click on the name of your campaign to view its analytics:

Here, you can view analytics for your campaign including view count, click count, unsubscribed count, revenue, and more.

And that’s it! You’ve now successfully set up and launched a Price Drop Alert campaign designed to bring customers back to your site and increase your sales.

Adding a custom Facebook feed makes your site more engaging and interactive. At the same time, you also provide social proof of an active online presence, helping you turn your readers into your fans. 

The easiest way to add a Facebook feed to WordPress is by using a plugin. It takes care of the technical stuff and lets you set up everything with just a few clicks.

In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to create a custom Facebook feed in WordPress in just 5 simple steps.

First, let’s be sure on whether you really need a Facebook Feed on your site.

Reasons You Need A Facebook Feed On Your WordPress Site

With over 2.9 billion monthly visitors, Facebook has global users interested in many things. As a site owner, you can take advantage of these numbers and grow your audience.

Connecting your Facebook to your site comes with many benefits that include:

• Boost content discovery and keep website content fresh
• Build a community
• Enhance your domain authority
• Cross-market between social media and your website
• Use resources in a cost-effective way
• Keep your audience updated with the latest info on your brand
• Increase engagement through comments, shares, and likes

Now, WordPress does not offer a default option to add a Facebook feed to your site.

Instead, you will need to find a reliable plugin to help you with this.

The best plugin to help you add your Facebook feed to your website is Smash Balloon, and we’ll tell you why.

Why Choose Smash Balloon?

Smash Balloon is the best way to add a custom Facebook feed to your WordPress site because of how easy and flexible it is to use. 

It’s a one-time setup, and then the plugin will run on its own, fetching new content from your Facebook feed and showcasing it on your site.

You can completely customize your feed to show the posts you want. Smash Balloon lets you do that by choosing specific content types, such as videos or events, filtering by hashtags, and using keywords to omit certain posts.

You can also set up multiple feeds to display different kinds of Facebook posts on specific pages. Each feed you create can have a different design and placement.

So if you have a product catalog, you can display product-related posts on that page. Or you can set your site’s Facebook feed only to display events if you run a local business. This way, you can use social media and your website to market your business offline better. 

Here are just a few reasons why this plugin is our #1 pick for Facebook feeds:

• Easy integration with Facebook
• Set and forget configuration
• Fully customizable feed
• 4 different layouts to choose from
• Show/hide specific posts
• Speed and SEO-optimized

Now, let’s show you how to set up Smash Balloon on your WordPress site.

Adding a Facebook Feed in WordPress

In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to install the Smash Balloon plugin and configure important settings to help you showcase a beautiful Facebook feed added to your site.

Step 1: Install Smash Balloon

Get started by visiting the Smash Balloon website to sign up for an account. Then, you’ll get access to your own Smash Balloon account, where you can download the plugin and copy your license key.

You’ll need to install and activate the Facebook Feed Pro plugin inside your WordPress dashboard. Not sure how to do that? Follow our guide on How to Install a WordPress Plugin.

Once activated, in the WordPress menu on the left, go to the Facebook Feed» Settings page. Here, you can paste your license key and activate the pro plugin.

Now you should have Smash Balloon Pro set up. Next, we’ll connect your WordPress site to your Facebook page or group.

Step 2: Connect Your Facebook Group Or Page

Smash Balloon lets you connect your site to a Facebook group or page, whichever one you prefer.

A Facebook group can help your audience have more focused discussions privately, building engagement, while a Facebook page can help build your brand and your niche authority. 

To top it off, you can have both your group and page embedded on your site at the same time, getting the best of both worlds.

For this tutorial, we will connect a Facebook Page Feed, but keep in mind, the steps will remain pretty much the same for a Facebook Group.

Head over to the Facebook Feed» All Feeds page in your WordPress dashboard to connect your first feed.

You’ll see an Add New button that lets you start the process.

Smash Balloon allows you to add your entire Facebook feed or only specific types of content. 

These content types can range from posts, videos, events, and images depending on the kind of reaction you want from your audience. 

For our example, we will use the default setting, which allows Smash Balloon to fetch your entire Facebook timeline. 

On the next page, choose the Facebook feed source by selecting ‘Add New.’

Now you should see a blue button that says ‘Connect to Facebook.’

A new page will open where you will find another Add New button. This is also where you can connect to more pages later and start multiple feeds.

This will take you to Facebook, where you can quickly log into your account.

Once signed in, you’ll see a popup showcasing all the pages under your profile. Select the one you would like to display in the feed.

To ensure you have complete control of all the content accessible by Smash Balloon, you can either switch on or off what the plugin can access in the next window.

We suggest you set all these settings as ‘Yes,’ so that the Facebook content displayed on your site is not affected. Once you’ve granted the permissions, you’ll see a success message that you’ve linked your account.

And just like that! You have successfully connected Smash Balloon to your Facebook feed. The page should automatically reload and take you to your WordPress Dashboard.

Step 3: Customize Your Theme and Layout

Now that your Facebook page is connected, let’s customize the feed to match your preferences.

Smash Balloon will automatically redirect you to a popup where you can select the page you just connected and add it to your Smash Balloon dashboard. You’ll see it appear like so:

Choose the page and go to the Next step.

Now you can select the theme of the feed. You can leave it as default or change it to Modern, Social Wall, Outline, and Overlap. We will use the default theme.

In the next step, choose the template type. You can display your feed in a masonry grid, widgets, cards, or carousels. You can even display only the latest Facebook post.

Once you make your selection, the page should reload and direct you to your All Feeds page.

Step 4: Customize Your Facebook Feed

Now you can go ahead and edit the feed. Do this by choosing the pencil ‘Edit’ icon to the far right of the feed’s name. 

After opening the feed editor, you should see the Customize and Settings menus on the left and a preview window of how they will appear on the right.

In this tutorial, we will focus on the Customize menu as it has all the essentials you’ll need.

The preview window on the right will show you how the feed will look when embedded on your site. Use it to check for errors and formatting issues as you design your site’s Facebook feed.

Even though you may have chosen a template, feed type, and theme in your previous steps, this window allows you to change them as well.

Let us start by setting up how the custom Facebook feed will appear by going to ‘Feed Layout’ in the left taskbar.

You can edit whether you want the feed to appear in list, masonry, or carousel format. Choose the post’s height so that it fits nicely on your site. 

Since tablets, phones, and desktops have different-sized screens, select the number of columns and posts for the best user experience depending on your visitor’s device. 

The preview screen on the upper right corner has icons for mobile, tablet, and desktop screens in the top right corner. Use this feature to check how the feed will appear in different screen sizes. 

Experiment to see which ratio of posts to columns works best for each screen size before making a final decision.  

Even though we recommend you customize the number of posts, by default, Smash Balloon allows fewer posts on smaller screens to offer your audience a good experience even if you do not set them yourself. 

Once you settle on the feed layout, go back to the main menu on the left.

Now let’s change the color scheme.

By default, Smash Balloon uses the colors from your theme so the feed blends seamlessly with the rest of your site. But you can customize it here to whatever you would like. You can also go for the more conventional design of a dark or light color scheme.

However, if you choose a custom color palette, you can select a different background, text, and link colors to suit your website design better. 

Once you settle on the color scheme, go back to the customize menu.

To edit your feed title and related elements, scroll down the Customize menu and find the ‘Header’ submenu.

Here, choose if you want the header to be in text or visual format, the size and color of the title text, the bio text size and color, and the dimensions of the cover photo. 

To change the post layout, go back to the Customize menu and select the Posts tab. Here, you can change the layout to Thumbnail, Half width, and Full width.

Then, under Post Style, select whether you want the posts to be ‘Regular’ or ‘Boxed.’ You can also customize the separating line’s color and thickness. 

Also, Smash Balloon lets you check or uncheck the ‘Individual Post Elements’ you want to display.

A cool feature of Smash Balloon is that you can let users engage with your social media content from your website itself. To add a ‘Like’ button, scroll down the Customize menu, and go to Like Box. 

First, enable the like button so it can appear in your feed. Then, you can customize its size and position. 

Next, you can decide the width of your feed. However, if you leave it at default, it will auto-adjust based on the screen size.

To add more weight to the call to action, you can show your website users their Facebook friends who also follow your page. 

Now there’s a really cool feature of Smash Balloon we want to show you. You can move the like button outside the scrollable menu here. What this does is show your audience the ‘Like’ bottom regardless of where they are scrolling on the page. 

That way, you get a higher chance of getting them to click on the Like button.

Once you are done, go back to the Customize menu.

The last thing we want to show you here is the Load More button. This will display more feed content when clicked by a reader. You can either turn this option on or off. 

One of the main reasons to disable the ‘Load More’ button is to improve user experience by reducing content overload and letting readers focus on the content that brought them to the page. On the other hand, turning on this button can increase site engagement and keep a reader on the page for longer, boosting your SEO metrics. 

You can customize the Load More text to what you like. You can even change it to a language in your target region to communicate better to your audience. Or be more adventurous and write something catchy.

The end goal is to entice people to see more of your feed.

Once you have customized everything to your liking, don’t forget to Save your feed.

Step 5: Publish the Facebook Feed

Now that you have set up your custom feed’s appearance, it is time to display it on your website.

Like everything else with Smash Balloon, you do not need to have any coding experience to publish a feed.

There are 3 ways to add your custom feed to your WordPress website. You can use a block, widget, or shortcode. Each method is easy and straightforward but ideal for different situations. 

• Block custom feed: This method makes it easy to customize the placement visually. With this method, you can easily see how the feed will appear on your site.
• Widget custom feed: You can fully optimize sidebar space, ensuring consistency with your feed throughout the site.
• Shortcode custom feed: Allows for flexible placement anywhere on your site without errors.

Feel free to choose a method that best fits your needs at the time. 

To add the feed using a block, open a page or post on your WordPress Menu. For this tutorial, we will use a page.

On the page, locate where you would like the feed to appear and click on the Plus icon to add a new block. In the block’s search bar, type ‘Custom Facebook Feed,’ then add the feed block to the page.

If you have only one feed added, it will show it by default. For accounts with more than one feed, Smash Balloon will either pick one by default or you will need to add the specific feed’s shortcode. 

To get the shortcode, go to All Feeds, you will see the shortcode displayed next to the feed’s name.

Copy the shortcode and go back to the page and block you created for the feed. On the right, go to Settings, you will see a text box called ‘Shortcode settings.’ Paste the shortcode here and Apply Settings to the feed block you previously created.

Your website should now display this specific feed automatically. 

To add a Facebook feed through a widget, go to Appearance » Widgets on your WordPress dashboard.

Here, you need to add a new block through the plus icon. Then in the search bar, look for the ‘Custom Facebook Feed’ widget. 

Next, drag and drop it to the exact location where you would want the Facebook feed to appear. 

If you have multiple feeds, you’ll need to add the specific shortcode in the text box on the right, like with the previous process. 

Once done, hit the Apply Changes button.

Lastly, to include the feed using a shortcode, begin by copying the Shortcode from the All Feeds Smash Balloon menu like in the step above.

Select any page or post you would like to add a feed. Add a new block through the Plus icon and search for ‘Shortcodes.’

Drag and drop the Shortcode icon anywhere on the page or post you want the feed to appear. 

All you have to do is paste the shortcode, and it should display automatically.

That’s it!

You’ve set up a Facebook feed on your WordPress site. It will now run automatically – fetching new posts from your page and displaying them on your site.

You may want to move your site to another WordPress web host or domain name.

If the current hosting provider isn’t delivering satisfactory performance, security, and support, migrating to a better host can significantly improve the experience for both you and your users.

Or, you may want to scale your site or upgrade your plan. The thing is migrating a WordPress website can be risky and time-consuming, especially if you’re not sure how to do it.

The easiest and most secure way to migrate your website is to use a plugin that will do the heavy lifting for you.

In this guide, we’ll look at the best migration plugins for WordPress that tick all the right boxes for both beginners and expert WordPress users. 

If you’re looking to migrate your site from another CMS to WordPress.org, we have a list of helpful guides here.

Now, let’s get started. Here’s a table of contents to help you navigate the post easily:

• Duplicator
• UpdraftPlus
• JetPack
• All-in-One WP Migration
• BackupBuddy
• WP Migrate
• Migrate Guru
• Bluehost Migration

1. Duplicator

Duplicator is the best WordPress backup and migration plugin. It is easy to use and can quickly help you move your site without errors. All you have to do is create a package and select what you want to include (such as your plugins, themes, database, media files, or your entire site).

Then you can download this package and import it anywhere you want. Next, you can install the Duplicator plugin on the incoming website, drag and drop the downloaded package, and import the file.

It’s really that simple! No technical knowledge needed.

You can even import a site using a URL too. Simply add the link location of the archive ZIP file to your new site. This is especially helpful if you are migrating a large site or do not have enough storage space on your PC.

Duplicator also lets you create a copy of your site and reuse it as a pre-configured template across multiple domains.

Now this migration plugin is not just built to move websites. You can back up and restore your WordPress website too. There are options to schedule backups and store them in your favorite locations like Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Amazon S3, and FTP/SFTP.

Duplicator even supports websites on managed hosts such as WordPress.com, WPEngine, GoDaddy Managed, and more. So you’ll be able to transfer to another web host or platform without any hiccups.

Pros:

• Easy and quick migration
• Supports WordPress multisite migration
• Pre-configured website packages
• Secure encryption (industry-standard AES-256 encryption) 
• Local storage and cloud storage services
• Scheduled automatic backups
• Recovery points for faster restore
• Dedicated customer support

Cons:

• Beginners may need help setting up an FTP server. Luckily, Duplicator has incredible customer care you can rely on. Plus, only some features require an FTP setup. 
• If you choose to use the upload-download method, you need fast, secure internet speeds. You can use cloud storage to transfer sites as well to avoid this issue.

Duplicator lets you package and import your site for free! However, they have a premium plugin Duplicator Pro that’s worth checking out! See our full Duplicator Review »

2. UpdraftPlus

UpdraftPlus is one of the most popular backup plugins for WordPress.

It’s ideal for beginners because the process is simple and straightforward. You can backup, clone, and migrate your site with this plugin.

Added to that, you can store backups in multiple locations. This helps safeguard your data, even if one backup source is lost or corrupt.

You can quickly create a backup by clicking the ‘Backup Now’ feature. 

To move your site, there’s a free version that lets you migrate your WordPress website by downloading backups from your source website, and then restoring them to the destination site. 

If you want to pick and choose which themes, plugins, and database tables to migrate, or you need multisite support, then you need to install a premium addon called UpdraftMigrator Premium.

This lets you transfer your site to a new host or another domain in a matter of minutes. Everything can be done with the click of a few buttons on your UpdraftPlus dashboard.

Pros:

• Easy to use
• Pick and choose what to migrate
• Incremental backups for better speed
• Schedule and Pre-update backups
• Email notifications
• Multisite network support

Cons:

• Only basic migration is free. You need to install another addon to access pro migration features.

Overall, it’s a good plugin for a basic single site migration. See our full UpdraftPlus Review »

3. JetPack 

Jetpack offers a convenient backup and migration plugin called VaultPress. This lets you migrate your site to a fresh WordPress installation on any host.

If you’re using WordPress.com, the plugin often comes preinstalled in the WP dashboard. It makes it easy to back up and migrate your site.

You can transfer your entire database, plugins, settings, and themes, as well as all your content and images.

However, for WordPress.org sites, the process can be a bit technical so it’s not ideal for beginners. You need to enter your SSH, SFTP, or FTP credentials in JetPack to be able to migrate your site.

You also need to make changes to your hosting DNS records. So if you’re not sure about these things, it might be best to use a plugin like Duplicator. It’s just simpler.

Other than migrations, JetPack offers powerful backup features including real-time cloud backups, easy restores, a website firewall, and malware scanning.

Not sure if you’re using WordPress.com or WordPress.org? See our guide: WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org.

Pros:

• Real-time cloud backups
• Unlimited 1-click restores
• Unlimited site migrations
• Migrate to a new server or host
• Supports WooCommerce

Cons:

• Migration process is technical
• You need a WordPress.com account to set up Jetpack

4. All-in-One WP Migration

All-in-One WP Migration lets you move websites with ease. It’s built for beginners so you don’t need technical knowledge or experience.

All you have to do is install the free migration plugin, then export and import your website to the new location. The best part is it supports custom uploads so you can choose to include or exclude plugins, themes, and media.

Most WordPress migration plugins will often support ZIP files only. However, the All-in-One WP Migration plugin supports almost all types of file formats. 

One thing that stands out about this plugin is that it can auto-replace URLs during the export process of updating permalinks. You can customize the URL structure of the new permalinks according to your SEO strategy. This is helpful if you want to keep your SEO intact after a migration.

Also, All-in-One WP Migration automatically creates another copy of the backup file when you export your site.

The added layer of protection means even if your backup is corrupt, the plugin can help you recover your site.

Pros:

• Simple export-import functionality
• Highly customizable migration 
• 1-click and scheduled backup
• Google Drive, Dropbox, and FTP extensions
• Password-protected backups
• Supports different file formats

Cons:

• It can take a long time to export or import files
• Multisite capabilities only available in the premium version

5. BackupBuddy

BackupBuddy is one of the oldest migration plugins since its creation in 2010. It’s a premium WordPress backup plugin built especially for hosted WordPress sites. With this plugin, you can create a backup copy of your entire WordPress installation including your media library, plugins, themes, and WordPress database.

If you want to change your domain name and hosting provider, this plugin offers migration options too. It will handle the migration process of your URL and will automatically replace all the URLs when you migrate a site to a new domain.

If you’re a developer who creates websites for clients, you can use the migration feature of BackBuddy to move the custom local site you’ve built to the client’s live domain.

Pros:

• URL replacement
• Change domain/URL
• Easy backup and restore
• WordPress staging sites

Cons:

• It does not support multisite

Get started with BackupBuddy!

6. WP Migrate

WP Migrate is a migration and workflow tool specifically designed for professional WordPress developers. If you’re a beginner, this isn’t one you want to start with.

This plugin is built to move databases from one WordPress installation to another. You can also transfer media and theme files, but with the use of premium addons. This makes it quite costly to move your site.

However, it is a great migration plugin for seasoned developers as it helps rescue broken databases. 

WP Migrate moves the database as a MySQL data dump. This helps developers visually and physically test and troubleshoot a database because it is in a text-based format.

As such, you can find, edit and replace the structure and content of a broken backup file, helping you restore a site in worst-case scenarios. 

Migrating a database in MySQL format can lead to many time-outs and errors because of the size of such files. 

To avoid this, WP Migrate pulls and pushes databases from one location to another, streamlining the process better.   

Pros:

• It can help you save your site if the backup’s database is corrupt
• Push and pull databases from one location to another
• Can edit and change a database

Cons:

• Difficult to carry out full site migrations without addons
• Addons come with expensive pricing plans
• It’s not designed for beginners

Get started with WP Migrate!

7. Migrate Guru

Migrate Guru is a relatively new plugin in the market brought to you by the same folks behind BlogVault. It’s a simple method to quickly move your site with zero downtime.

You’ll love this plugin if you need to transfer a large site up to 200GB. They use their own secure servers to run the migration process. That means, there’s no load on your website and your migration will take place at lightning speeds.

You also don’t have to worry about your data being shared as Migrate Guru erases it right after the transfer is complete.

Added to this, the plugin can also auto-rewrite or change URLs to match the new site’s properties. 

One thing to keep in mind is that the standalone Migrate Guru plugin does not have a dashboard. You must enter your email for identification and enter a migration key to your FTP or cPanel. 

However, if you’re a premium BlogVault customer, you’ll get access to a user-friendly independent dashboard where you can manage backups, staging, and migration with ease.

Pros: 

• Free WordPress migration
• No site size limit
• Supports large websites
• Automated process

Cons:

• Can only migrate up to 5 sites per month
• Less automation with the FTP migration tool process

Get started with Migrate Guru!

Plugins like MigrateGuru support all 5,000+ web hosts around the world. If you’re thinking of moving to a better web host, see our list of The Best WordPress Hosting Companies. In our experience, we love Bluehost, Hostinger, and SiteGround. They’re trustworthy and offer stellar performance.

Bluehost is one of the largest and most trusted web hosting companies in the world, with millions of users. 

If you want to migrate your site to their hosting platform, Bluehost has experts that will do it for you through their free Bluehost Migration service.

A spin the wheel plugin makes it easy to create customized campaigns along with preset chances of winning the price.

These plugins usually come with templates so it’s easy to craft a stunning design that will get users excited to spin the wheel to win something.

Ultimately, these plugins help you improve user interaction and boost sales and conversions.

In this guide, we’ll reveal the best spin to win WordPress plugins that are worth installing on your site.

Choosing the Best WordPress Spinning Wheel Plugin

You can find several free and paid WordPress spinning wheel plugins on the market that allows users to spin the wheel to win prizes.

Before you install one of these plugins, here are some of the features you’ll want to keep an eye out for:

• Ability to add prizes to each slice
• Easy customization options
• Integration with email marketing services
• GDPR compliance for data collection
• Automatic coupon generation system
• Audience targeting rules
• Insights into users and performance

With that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the best WordPress discount wheel plugins that help you boost conversions.

1. OptinMonster

OptinMonster is our #1 pick for the best spin to win plugins for WordPress. It’s by far the most powerful lead generation and conversion optimization software out there.

Why do we say this?

First, it’s packed with advanced features to target your audience with precision. It also comes with premade templates that are built with user experience and marketing psychology in mind. Here’s a winter campaign template that’s already got the right colors, icons, and text:

Like this, you get access to coupon wheel templates for every goal and holiday like flash sales, product recommendations, Black Friday, Christmas, and Valentine’s Day. This sets you up for success making it easier to convert abandoning visitors into subscribers and customers.

Next, there’s a drag and drop builder that makes every campaign fully customizable down to each slice of the game. You can easily add, edit, and delete elements. You also get to change images, colors, background, countdown timers, and CTA buttons.

Next, you can edit every slice of the wheel in the spin to win popup. You decide what prizes you offer, how many prizes are up for the win, and the probability of winning. All you have to do is click on the wheel to open the settings popup where you can edit the labels, coupon codes, win chances, and whether the prize can be won or not.

There’s more. We mentioned precision targeting earlier. Here’s a sneakpeek into some of the display rules you can add to your campaign with just a click of a button:

You control when, where, and to whom the discount wheel popup appears. You can target visitors that have added items to cart and are leaving the site. You can also target by page, scroll distance, cart items, cart value, new visitor, by location and device, and so much more.

This is really what sets OptinMonster miles apart from the other tools on the market. You never have to use coding or hire a developer. You can take advantage of advanced targeting even if you’re a WordPress beginner.

Finally, OptinMonster lets you integrate an email marketing service like Constant Contact, MailChimp, AWeber, and more. That way, all new leads are automatically added to your email list and drip campaigns. You can even configure tags and segmentation to keep your contacts organized.

Another thing to keep in mind is that if you’re running a business or WooCommerce store, having access to support is essential because you’ll likely run into issues with any plugin.

With OptinMonster, there’s an active team behind the plugin. If you’re ever stuck, you can reach out to their support team and get the help you need. There’s also tons of documentation on how to use the plugin and troubleshoot issues.

Plus, the team also makes sure that the plugin stays compatible with new WordPress versions, plugins, and themes.

If you’re serious about improving conversion rates and sales and growing your eCommerce store (and you have the budget for it), OptinMonster is hands down the #1 choice. If you’re just starting out on a small budget and want a free plugin, then you’d be interested in our next pick.

2. WP Optin Wheel

WP Optin Wheel is a free WordPress spinning wheel popup plugin. It allows you to create multiple wheels with 12 slices and add links to different rewards in each slice section. The plugin lets you integrate with MailChimp to grow your email list.

Configuring the plugin is easy and you can fully control when you want to display the wheel popup to your users. Added to that, it’s GDPR compliant and supports multiple languages.

The free version comes with just enough functionality to create a basic spin the wheel game on your site but it lacks targeting rules and design customizations.

For this, you’ll want to get the WP Optin Wheel pro plugin that gives you access to create your own theme or choose from seasonal themes like Christmas and Halloween. It comes with more coupon settings like duration, product/category restrictions, and show/hide on devices or specific pages.

You’ll also get a few targeting rules like ‘open on click’ and ‘open before exit’. Plus, there are more email and marketing integrations with Brevo, Zapier, Drip, Campaign Monitor, ActiveCampaign, ConvertKit, and GetResponse.

3. Lucky Wheel for WooCommerce

The Lucky Wheel plugin by VillaTheme is a free WooCommerce plugin extension, meaning it won’t work unless you have WooCommerce installed on your site.

It allows you to add up to 6 wheel slices and create multiple discounts for users. There are options to add the winning probability for each slice.

Coming to targeting options, you can let the popup appear automatically or have it open on click. You can also show the popup on specific pages or use conditional tags to control where it appears.

Once the lucky wheel pop-up is live, website visitors need to enter their email address to get a chance to spin the lucky wheel. All leads are collected and saved in the back end of the plugin. So the downside here is that you’ll need to manually export and import it to your email service.

Next, when the user wins, you can send the coupon code to the email address they entered.

There’s also a pro version of the WooCommerce Lucky Wheel plugin that gives you email API integrations, admin notifications, more slices, and multilingual support.

4. Wheel of Popups

Wheel of Popups is an eCommerce friendly spinning wheel popup plugin. It works seamlessly with all platforms, including WooCommerce, Shopify, Magento, etc.

There are beautiful wheel of fortune layouts that you can edit campaigns on desktop and mobile. Need to match the design to your branding? There’s an easy color picker to make sure it blends in with the rest of your site. You can also customize the font, text, and prizes. It’s easy to add custom rewards and probability ratios.

Next, you can set the campaign to appear by device, page, time spent on page, and exit-intent. It’s GDPR compliant and it has several marketing tools to promote your campaigns.

Once you collect leads, there’s a built-in analytics board where you can see stats about the leads and best converting pages.

5. Poptin

Poptin is a spin the wheel plugin for WordPress. It’s free for small websites upto 1,000 visitors per month. You can sign up without a credit card.

You can create lucky wheels, scratch cards, and pick-a-gift popup designs. There’s a drag and drop editor to customize the campaigns.

You can choose to display your discount wheel on specific pages and also target visitors who are returning to your site. There’s also an inactivity trigger to get the user’s attention with this campaign.

When the user spins the wheel and wins, a coupon code will be displayed. They’ll need to copy and use it when they’re checking out. You can also integrate with your favorite email platform and CRM including MailChimp, Zapier, GetResponse, and ConvertKit.

The downside here is that the free plan will only take you so far – capped at 1,000 visitors. If you’re a really small WordPress website, this may be all right. But if your site grows beyond this or you already get large amounts of traffic, you’ll be spending up to $119 per month. That too is limited to 15,000 autoresponder emails.

In our opinion, you’ll get a lot more with OptinMonster for between $9 and $49 per month with no limits on the number of campaigns or subscribers you can have. You’ll also get advanced targeting rules, intergrations, customer support, and superior account management features. Plus, there’s a feature called done-for-you setup where the support team will create successful campaigns for you.

6. Optinly

Optinly is a WordPress popup plugin that lets you set up goal-based campaigns. It’s easy to install and you can set up your coupon wheel in a few minutes.

There are 75+ highly responsive predesigned popup templates. You can edit the text, call-to-action buttons, images, transition effects, and more.

You can also integrate with popular email marketing services. As for display rules, you can target by exit intent, specific pages, time spent, user device, and after a specified number of days.

There’s a lot to like about this plugin. It’s affordable and has a clean interface so it’s easy for beginners. We like that you can quickly access the Pixabay library to choose stock images for your campaigns. There’s also a support team which is really important when it comes to anything eCommerce related.

That’s our list of the best WordPress spin the wheel plugins for your site. We hope you were able to find one that suits your goals and budget.

You can easily find out how far a user scrolls down on each post. This lets you know the exact section in which they lose interest and abandon your site.

With this data, you can modify that specific section and make it interesting enough to engage your audience until the end. You can also figure out where to place call-to-action buttons or sign-up forms.

Now, Google Analytics is a great tool to help you discover your user’s scrolling activity on the site. That said, with the default Google Analytics setup, scroll tracking is not enabled on your site.

We’ll show you how to set up scroll tracking with just a few clicks. Let’s get started.

What is Scroll Tracking?

Scroll tracking is a technique that allows you to measure how far visitors scroll down on your web page.

It’s important because it gives you insights into user engagement and helps you understand how visitors interact with your content, allowing you to make informed decisions for better user experiences and higher conversion rates.

Now scroll tracking works by setting up event tags that capture scroll data as visitors move down a web page. It records scroll percentages, scroll direction, and trigger points, providing valuable metrics about user behavior.

Google Analytics Scroll Tracking in WordPress Made Easy

The easiest way to enable scroll tracking in WordPress is by using a plugin called MonsterInsights. It is the most popular Google Analytics plugin for WordPress.

With this plugin installed on your dashboard, you will never have to switch tabs to track your site’s performance.

We use MonsterInsights on our own sites and what we love is that everything can be managed and viewed right from your WordPress dashboard. It even lets you track each and every user interaction on your site, such as eCommerce transactions, affiliate link clicks, file downloads, author tracking, SEO score, and a lot more.

MonsterInsights even offers you real-time stats right from within your dashboard.

You can view your sessions, pageviews, and so many more advanced stats like device, age, gender, and so on. We’ve used this plugin for years now and even wrote a detailed review on MonsterInsights. You can check it out for more details on the plugin.

MonsterInsights comes with default scroll-depth tracking that lets you see detailed reports about how far your users are scrolling on your site. You can also create UTM codes and track URLs on your WordPress site.

Now let’s check how to enable scroll tracking in WordPress with MonsterInsights.

Step 1: Install MonsterInsights for Scroll Tracking

Before we get started, we’re assuming you have a Google Analytics account set up. If you don’t, you’ll need to do that first.

Usually, this involves a bit of coding and technical know-how. If you’re a beginner, MonsterInsights makes it incredibly easy to connect your website to Google Analytics.

All you have to do is install MonsterInsights on your WordPress website. Then, there’s an easy launch wizard that lets you select your Google Account and click a button to connect your site. No coding needed at all!

For more detailed steps, follow our guide here to set up Google Analytics and connect it to your website in under 5 minutes.

Once you have connected your Google Analytics account and MonsterInsights, you’re ready to start tracking all sorts of data right inside your WordPress dashboard.

Step 2: Enable Scroll Tracking

Once all the setup is successfully done, scroll tracking will be automatically enabled on your website. Seriously, there’s nothing more you have to do – this is why we love this tool so much.

To make sure scroll tracking is enabled, go to Insights » Engagement tab in your WordPress admin.

Scroll down the page and you’ll see the scroll tracking option.

It’s automatically enabled by default without the need for an addon. As your visitors scroll through 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% on your site, MonsterInsights will trigger events on Google Analytics.

There’s no need to learn about custom GA4 events, page paths, tag types, and trigger types. It’s all done for you.

Step 3: Viewing Scroll Tracking Reports in WordPress

This report is available right on your WordPress dashboard. To view it, go to Insights » Reports » Publishers in your WordPress dashboard.

Scroll down a bit and you’ll find sections called Interests and Scroll.

In this report, you’ll be able to see the average scroll depth percentage for your entire website.

So you know exactly how your visitors are interacting with your content. And it also offers you a chance to optimize your posts for better engagement. You can also clearly decide where to place your ads and call-to-actions for more clicks.

If you want, you can view these reports on your Google Analytics dashboard as well.

Viewing Scroll Tracking Reports on Google Analytics Dashboard

By enabling scroll tracking with MonsterInsights, you can check your reports directly on your Google Analytics dashboard too even without logging into your WordPress dashboard.

For that log into your Google Analytics account. Now go to the Engagement » Events tab in your GA4 property.

You’ll see the Scroll Depth link under the Event Name column as shown in the screenshot below:

When you click on that link, you’ll find a detailed report right away. Here, you can use different filters to get more detailed data.

So if you want to check the total events triggered for each listed percentage of scrolling, under the Parameter Name tab, you’ll get a dropdown menu. Here, choose Percentage from the event parameters.

Now you can view scroll depth events by percentage. So you can see how many people scrolled 25%, 50%, 75%, and how many actually went all the way to the end of the page.

In the example above, we can see 64% are scrolling only up to 25%. So we want to put the most important information in the top 25% of the page. You could also focus on the next 75% to see what you could improve to keep users engaged.

If you run an eCommerce store, then you can even add a discount at the 25% mark to capture users before they bounce from your site.

So that’s it. Isn’t it easy to enable scroll tracking with MonsterInsights? Scroll tracking can help you gain more traffic, reduce bounce rate and boost conversions on your website.

You don’t need to enable Google Tag Manager (GTM) if you’re using MonsterInsights. The scroll depth threshold is automatically tracked for you.

3. Can I track scroll depth in Universal Analytics?

4. What is the difference between scroll depth and scroll percentage?

Scroll depth refers to the distance a user scrolls down a web page, typically measured in pixels. It tells you how far a user has scrolled from the top of the page to the point where they currently are. For example, if a user has scrolled 800 pixels down on a web page, their scroll depth at that moment is 800 pixels.

Scroll percentage, on the other hand, represents the proportion of the web page that a user has scrolled through. It is measured as a percentage, indicating how much of the page has been viewed relative to the total height of the page. For example, if a user has scrolled halfway down a web page, their scroll percentage would be 50%.

5. What is the difference between Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and Universal Analytics for scroll tracking?

GA4 is the newer version of Google Analytics, and it offers enhanced measurement capabilities, making it easier to track scroll events using the Exploration Report and built-in variables. Universal Analytics required additional configuration tags, custom scripts, and custom dimensions to track scroll data. See our full comparison Google Analytics 4 vs Universal Analytics.

6. Can I use scroll tracking data for digital marketing purposes?

Absolutely! Scroll tracking data can provide valuable insights into user engagement, allowing you to optimize your content, identify conversion opportunities, and improve your digital marketing efforts.

Most website owners use sidebars mainly for 2 purposes:

• Grab the user’s attention to something important such as a ‘Sign up’ form.
• Include information on the website that might not otherwise fit.

That said, there are so many ways to get creative with these areas to improve user experience, add SEO elements, and make your site’s design more appealing.

Check out how WPBeginner uses its sidebar to draw the user’s attention to lead magnets and social profiles.

Now, WordPress themes usually come with sidebar layouts and custom widgets. However, if you’re looking for more options, then there are tons of WordPress plugins to help you with that.

We’ve been launching successful websites for a long time and we almost always include a sidebar. Over the years, we’ve tried and tested a long list of sidebar and widget plugins. In this guide, we’re going to share with you the best ones that you’ll actually need for your site.

Let’s get started.

Choosing the Best WordPress Plugins for Sidebars and Widgets

Here are a few common examples of WordPress sidebars and widgets that you may want to add to your website:

• Instant navigation: Display links to important pages on your website making it easier for users to navigate your content.
• Search bar: Give users easy access to your search bar to help them find what they’re looking for fast.
• Contact form: A contact form widget enables users to connect with you quickly. You can add this widget in the sidebar, footer, or any widget-ready area on your WordPress website.
• Email Opt-in: Get users to subscribe to your marketing emails.
• Contest and giveaway: Make your site interactive and exciting by running a giveaway
• Ad banners: Promote ads from niche-related brands and make money online.
• Maps: Show users where your stores or offices are located.
• User testimonials: Foster trust and gain customer confidence with Testimonials and reviews.

Now that you know some of the ways you can use your sidebar, let’s dive into the list of the best WordPress plugins for sidebars and widgets.

We’re going to show you 2 WordPress builders that let you add and customize sidebars and widgets. Then we’ll show you the different WordPress plugins that are best to add more elements to your sidebar and other widgetized areas of your site.

1. SeedProd

SeedProd is hands down the best WordPress builder plugin for sidebars and widgets. When you install the plugin on your site, you get to activate a premade theme template kit or you can create your own design.

The kits come with widgets that are already responsive, so they’ll look good on all user devices. Plus, you can make any changes and customizations you need without any coding (no CSS, PHP, or Javascript needed).

Now, let’s take a look at what it’s like inside the SeedProd builder. Here’s the dashboard where you can access the sidebar as a separate design.

By clicking on this, you’ll open the dedicated sidebar manager with a drag and drop page builder where you can start designing your sidebar. On the left, there’s a taskbar where you can add new widgets and other elements.

All you have to do is select it and drag it over to your design, then drop it where you want it to appear. It’s really that easy!

In the example above, we added an optin form to our sidebar. You can explore more elements and blocks here that include payment buttons, contact forms, countdown timers, social profiles, progress bar, testimonials, and so much more.

You can also add posts and pages blocks and then filter by category, author, tags, and taxonomies. That way, you can show specific posts or specific pages in your sidebar area.

If you scroll down the left menu, you’ll find a dedicated section for Widgets. Here, you can add widgets like pages, calendar, archives, audio, gallery, search, text, recent posts, categories – the list goes on!

This plugin integrates with popular plugins like WPForms, RafflePress, OptinMonster, and more, so you can add third-party plugin widgets easily. It also supports online store plugins like WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads so it’s easy to add eCommerce options to your sidebar as well.

SeedProd is so feature-rich, it’s the only sidebar plugin you’ll need for your WordPress site.

2. Thrive Themes

Thrive Themes is the best theme builder for WordPress but it also comes with a suite of conversion-focussed tools that can help boost your site’s engagement, leads, and sales.

You can choose from theme designs and page templates that already have a sidebar. This makes it so much easier to design your sidebar and customize it later too as and when you need to change things.

Next, you’ll see a navigation panel to customize different areas of your site. If you want to make changes to the footer, simply select it here and you can start editing that area. You can also choose to show/hide a certain area such as your new sidebar. This is great for temporary changes, testing, and troubleshooting.

Inside the Thrive Builder, you can change aspects such as height and width, typography, layout and position, background, borders, and more.

What we love about Thrive is that you can decide what happens on scroll so you can make elements of your sidebar static or dynamic. You can even add animation effects to these elements to give your site a more dramatic look.

If you’re using other tools from Thrive such as the lead generation tool, quiz builder, and online course builder, there’s a widget library for all their tools.

You simply have to drag and drop it wherever you want it to appear on your site.

Now that you know how to create a stunning dynamic sidebar, let’s take a look at the best WordPress sidebar and widgets plugins.

So in the block editor, you can add a new block, search for ‘WPForms’ and add it to any page or post in WordPress.

If you want to add a form you created with WPForms to a sidebar, head over to Appearance » Widgets. WordPress widgets now also have the block editor interface. So simply add a new block, search for WPForms, and add it anywhere you like.
