How to Add a Seating Chart to a WordPress Site.

You do not need a plugin to put a Seating Chart on a WordPress site. WordPress's Custom HTML block accepts embed snippets directly, which keeps your plugin list short and your site faster than installing a single-purpose widget plugin.

Step by step

Embed the Seating Chart in your WordPress site.

01

Create the widget in Fugte

Start from the Seating Chart starter, generate a variation with the built-in AI, or paste your own code.

02

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 Seating Chart a stable hosted link and an embed snippet.

03

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.

04

Preview and publish

Use the block's Preview toggle to check the Seating Chart 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.

This widget

What the Seating Chart needs from the embed.

The section above applies to anything you put on a WordPress site. This part is specific to the Seating Chart.

With Popup mode set to Photo or Search box, one panel waits behind a button and opens in a popup inside the widget's own frame. A frame that only fits the search card gives that popup no room, so set a Fixed height on the editor's Iframe tab that fits the photo. With Show both, everything sits on the page and the frame needs the full height of the card and the photo together.

Every guest is one tile, and the tile labels scale with the width of the frame, so a long list in a narrow column makes small tiles with names that are hard to read. Names on the tiles stay on one line and long ones are cut off. The full name shows on the flipped card and in the search result, but give this widget the widest spot on the page you have.

Everything in the guest list file goes into the published widget, including columns it never displays, so on a public widget anyone who can see the page can read the whole file. Keep it to names, tables, and seats, and on Basic or Creator set Who can view this widget to Passcode so the list only loads for guests who enter it.

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 Seating Chart 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 Seating Chart?

No. The embed lives in your page content, not in theme files, so switching or updating themes leaves it in place.
