Install a VerifySeal seal on WordPress

Use a Custom HTML block, footer widget or child-theme template to display the live seal.

Website installation

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Open the page or footer

    In WordPress edit the page, template part, footer pattern or widget area where the seal should appear.

  2. 2

    Add Custom HTML

    Insert a Custom HTML block and paste the Recommended JavaScript embed. Do not use the Code block, which is intended to display code as text.

  3. 3

    Use the safe fallback if needed

    If WordPress removes the script because the account lacks unfiltered HTML permission, use the Basic image embed or place the script in a child-theme footer.

  4. 4

    Update and clear caches

    Save the page or template, purge WordPress and CDN caches, then open the public site and test the certificate link.

Domain ownership callback

Complete domain validation on WordPress

Use the unique callback code displayed on the customer order. Never reuse a code from another domain or application.

  1. 1

    Preferred: create /.well-known/verifyseal.txt through the hosting File Manager rather than inside the WordPress Media Library.

  2. 2

    Alternative: add the supplied meta tag to the homepage head using a trusted header-code feature or child theme.

  3. 3

    Do not add the callback code as visible page text; VerifySeal expects the exact file or meta-tag method.

Testing checklist

Confirm the installation is working

01

Visible

The complete 300 × 106 seal is visible and not cropped on desktop or mobile.

02

Clickable

The seal opens the VerifySeal public certificate rather than a copied local image.

03

Current

The certificate status is verified, the expiry is current and the details match.

04

Correct domain

The registered production hostname matches the website displaying the seal.

Platform notes
  • Theme updates can overwrite direct edits. Use the Site Editor, a child theme or a maintained custom-code method.
