Video with Text widget

WordPress embed guide

How to Add a Video with Text to a WordPress Site.

You do not need a plugin to put a Video with Text 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 Video with Text in your WordPress site.

01

Create the widget in Fugte

Start from the Video with Text 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 Video with Text 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 Video with Text 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 Video with Text 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 Video with Text?

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