Adding Olark to your WordPress Page
A few notes, before we get started. First, this tutorial is for WordPress sites that you run yourself, not WordPress.com blogs. Second, if you'd rather just use a 3rd-party plugin, there's an awesome one that you can check out here. For those of you that prefer to set things up yourself, or if the plugin is broken for some reason, here are the instructions for getting Olark installed on your Wordpress site:
Setting Up Olark
-
Sign into your WordPress admin panel
-
Access the widgets section of your appearance configuration
-
Add a text widget to any widget area you like
- Copy your Olark code.
-
Paste your code into the text widget leaving the title blank
- Hit save and you're all set!
