Install the Latchkey widget on WordPress
Snippet install
Install
Step 1: Install the Latchkey plugin
From the WordPress plugin directory, or by uploading the zip.
Step 2: Paste your site key into the settings page
The plugin prints the snippet in wp_footer and marks it so caching and optimisation plugins leave it alone.
Step 3: Save, and read the verification result
Saving flushes the caches we can reach and then fetches your own front page to check the snippet survived. If it did not, the page names the plugin and the setting to change.
Sign in
Step 4: Sign in to Latchkey, or create an account
Inside the app where the platform provides one, or in a new window where it does not. One installation belongs to exactly one Latchkey account.
Domains
Step 5: Check the domains we registered
We read every domain the platform knows about and register all of them, keeping the platform-assigned address alongside your custom one. Staging and preview hostnames are free. Confirm the list looks right — a mistake here is visible now rather than as a widget that refuses to load later.
Trial
Step 6: Start your trial
Seven days, no card. A domain gets one trial ever, so if this site has already had one you will be asked to choose a plan instead — and if it already holds a licence, we link to it rather than charging you twice.
Plan
Step 7: Choose a plan
Plans are priced by monthly visits. We measure traffic with the widget’s own beacon after the first month and show you that data before any change to your plan.
Customise
Step 8: Customise the interface
Colours, position, language, the components you want hidden, and your accessibility statement. Publishing writes a new configuration version, so any change is reversible.
