How to embed Calendly in WordPress

Before you begin 

  1. You will need to identify which version of Wordpress you are using; wordpress.com or wordpress.org. To determine your Wordpress version, follow these steps: 
    • Log in to WordPress and visit the admin dashboard of your account.
    • Hover your cursor over the Wordpress logo in the top left corner of the page:

        • WordPress.org users will see a drop-down menu appear with options.
        • WordPress.com will not see a menu.
  2. You will need to generate your desired Calendly embed code. As a reminder, the embed code can be generated for either a single event type, or your account's booking page.
    • WordPress.org supports all three of Calendly's embed options:
      • Inline
      • Pop-up text
      • Pop-up widget

Note

The Calendly embed code requires the use of JavaScript. If you have applied a theme to your Wordpress.org website, the theme may not support JavaScript or may impact the appearance of the embed code. 

How to embed Calendly in WordPress.org

To embed Calendly on a single page of your site:

  1. Sign in to WordPress and visit the admin area.
  2. Go to Pages and decide which one you would like to edit, then select the + to add a new block.
  3. Choose a Custom HTML from the Formatting drop-down list, and paste your Calendly embed code. 
  4. Preview Changes to ensure the embed cooperates with your website's theme before selecting Update to save.

  2. Locate the Theme Files sidebar to the right of the page and scroll to find the Theme Footer.

How to embed Calendly in WordPress.com

While Calendly's embedded widgets are not compatible with Wordpress.com, you can add a hyperlink to your scheduling page directly on a WordPress.com site. This way, you can direct guests to your Calendly booking page. 

Add a Hyperlink to your Wordpress.com page: 

  1. While editing one of your pages, highlight any text and select the Insert/edit link button from the toolbar.
  2. Paste the URL to your personal scheduling page, an event type page, or a team page. For an image, select the image and follow the same steps.
