Install the visitor toolbar on WordPress

By Published

How to add the visitor toolbar to WordPress. The toolbar lets a visitor change how your pages look and read for themselves; it fixes nothing in your site, does not change whether it meets WCAG or the BFSG, and our scans never see it.

Before you start

  • Your site key. It is in the Reviseberg dashboard, under Settings › Visitor toolbar, on the Install tab. In the steps below it is written YOUR-SITE-KEY.
  • Switch the toolbar on for your site on the same screen. Until it is on, the tag loads and shows nothing.
  • What the platform needs: WordPress 6.3+.

Download

The package is reviseberg-toolbar-wordpress-1.0.0.zip. It is not listed in any platform’s store yet: you install it from this download.

Download for WordPress (version 1.0.0)

Steps

  1. Download the plugin above.
  2. In WordPress, go to Plugins › Add New Plugin › Upload Plugin, choose the zip and click Install Now, then Activate.
  3. Go to Settings › Reviseberg Toolbar and paste your site key. Leave the script host as it is.
  4. Tick Show the toolbar and save.

Good to know

The plugin prints one tag in the footer of public pages and nothing else. It leaves the tag out of the admin, the login screen, the Customizer preview, the editors of Elementor, Divi and Beaver Builder, and the WooCommerce checkout.

A key with the wrong shape is refused with a sentence when you save, and the previous key is kept.

Deactivating the plugin stops the tag at once. Deleting it removes the one option it stored.

The plugin is not in the WordPress.org plugin directory yet.

Check that it works

  • Open a page of your site in a private window — not in the platform’s editor or preview, where most plugins leave the tag out on purpose.
  • View the page source, or search the developer tools’ Elements panel, for widget/v1.js. There should be exactly one tag, with your key.
  • The toolbar’s button appears once the toolbar is switched on in the dashboard. On the same screen, “Last seen on your site” says when the tag last loaded on one of your pages.
  • No button? The browser console has a line beginning “Reviseberg toolbar:” that says why — a key with the wrong shape, for example, or the tag on the page twice.
  • The toolbar answers only on the addresses allowed under Settings › Visitor toolbar; your site’s own address always is. Add a staging address there before you test on it.
