Create the widget in Fugte
Start from the Owners Were Here starter, generate a variation with the built-in AI, or paste your own code.
Step by step
Embed the Owners Were Here in your WordPress site.
Customize and publish it in Fugte
Text, colors, images, numbers, and options are no-code settings, so you can match your branding without touching code. Publishing gives the Owners Were Here a stable hosted link and an embed snippet.
Add a Custom HTML block
In the WordPress block editor, add a "Custom HTML" block where the widget should appear and paste the embed snippet.
Preview and publish
Use the block's Preview toggle to check the Owners Were Here in place, then publish or update the page.
Good to know
WordPress specifics worth planning around.
Works the same in the classic editor (paste into the Text tab) and in page builders: Elementor's HTML widget, Divi's Code module, and similar.
Self-hosted WordPress accepts the embed on any setup. On WordPress.com specifically, custom embeds require a plan that allows custom code.
No plugin means one less thing to update, and theme changes or updates will not break the widget.
Updates happen in the widget editor. The embedded widget changes everywhere it is placed, without re-editing posts.

FAQ
Common questions.
Do I need to install a plugin?
No. The built-in Custom HTML block is enough. That is the main advantage over widget plugins, which add code to every page whether used or not.
Can I use the Owners Were Here with Elementor or Divi?
Yes. Paste the same embed snippet into Elementor's HTML widget or Divi's Code module. Any builder with an HTML element works.
Will a theme update break the Owners Were Here?
No. The embed lives in your page content, not in theme files, so switching or updating themes leaves it in place.
