NOTE: Please read through and familiarize yourself with ALL of the instructional steps before you attempt to embed ANY BubbleComment into your WordPress site. WordPress is highly flexible CMS and there is always more than one way to customize it.
The following instructions require some basic knowledge of how to customize the Wordpress CMS, so if you are not experienced or comfortable enough with this process, please don't attempt yourself.
The following instructions leverage the "
is_page()"
WordPress Conditional Tag, which is just one type of Conditional Tag option to use, but is simple enough for most of your BubbleComment embedding needs.
If you want to place a BubbleComment on a specific post instead of an actual web page, we recommend you use the "
is_single()" instead.
For a complete reference of each Conditional Tag option, please review the
WordPress Conditional Tag documentation.
BEGIN: The Wordpress CMS is based on a template system that uses separate template files for the
Header,
Body, and
Footer sections of each Wordpress page.
You will want to add your specific BubbleComment Tag within the
Footer template file.
STEP 1: Bring up your site's dashboard by signing into your Wordpress site and then going to the WordPress Editor.
STEP 2: Select the
Footer.php file via the WordPress Editor.
Once you select the
Footer.php file, it should update and now be shown in your main window...Scroll down to the bottom of the window until you see the closing
</body> tag.
STEP 3: Cut and Paste the following Conditional Tag into the
Footer.php file so that it is as close the ending
</body>. tag as possible:
<?php if ( is_page( 'Your Specific Web Page Title' ) ) { ?>
// Place Your Specific BubbleComment Tag Here
<? } ?>
Modify the highlighted text contents so that it matches the
Title of your specific WordPress Page exactly or if you are using another type of Conditional Tag, make sure it matches it.
<?php if ( is_page( 'Your Specific Web Page Title' ) ) { ?>
// Place Your Specific BubbleComment Tag Here
<? } ?>
STEP 4: Next you will want to Cut and Paste your specific BubbleComment Tag into this area as shown:
<?php if ( is_page( 'Your Specific Web Page Title' ) ) { ?>
// Place Your Specific BubbleComment Tag Here
<script id="bblcmt" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"
src="http://www.bubblecomment.com/embed_auto_03.js?userid=id001&vid=12345"></script>
<? } ?>
STEP 5: When you are done matching the
Title to your specific WordPress page AND adding your specific BubbleComment Tag, click on the
Update button to save your changes.
Once you save your changes, you should now see your BubbleComment appear on your WordPress webpage.
