This guide walks you through embedding an Interact quiz directly onto a WordPress page or post.
You’ll be able to:
Embed your quiz inline on a page
Control where the quiz appears on the page
Confirm the quiz loads correctly on your live site
Before you start
Make sure you have the following:
An active Interact account
At least one created quiz in Interact
Your quiz is published in Interact
Access to edit your WordPress site
The Interact WordPress plugin installed and activated
💡 Note: Plugins are only available starting with the WordPress “Business” plan (WordPress.com). If you don’t have access to Plugins, you won’t be able to use the Interact plugin embed method.
Step 1. Get your Interact direct embed code
In WordPress, you’ll embed your quiz using the Interact shortcode.
Log in to Interact.
Locate the quiz you want to embed.
Click Share & Embed next to the quiz.
Click the Embed Code tab.
Click the WordPress tab.
Scroll down to customize your quiz shortcode.
Scroll up and click Copy Shortcode.
❗ Important: Always copy the shortcode from the quiz’s Share & Embed area (not from the browser address bar URL).
Step 2. Add the Embed Code to WordPress
You’ll paste your Interact shortcode into WordPress where you want the quiz to appear.
Embed on a WordPress page or post using the Interact plugin shortcode
Install and activate the Interact plugin (required)
Log in to WordPress.
In the left-hand menu, click Plugins.
Search for Interact.
Click Install, then click Activate.
❗ Important: If the plugin is not activated, your Interact shortcode will not render the quiz on the page.
Paste the shortcode into your page or post
In WordPress, go to Posts and click Add Post (or go to Pages and open the page you want to use).
Give your post/page a title.
Open the editor in Text view mode.
Paste the Interact shortcode where you want the quiz to appear.
Click Save.
⚠️ Warning: If you paste the shortcode into the visual editor instead of Text view mode, the shortcode may not render correctly.
Step 3. View the quiz on your live page
In WordPress, click Save (and Publish or Update, if applicable).
Preview or view the live page and confirm the quiz loads.
💡 Tip: If you don’t see the quiz immediately after adding the shortcode, Save your changes and refresh the live page.
Step 4. Test the Embed
Confirm the quiz works end-to-end on your WordPress page.
Load the page where you embedded the quiz.
Take the quiz as a visitor would.
If your quiz includes an opt-in form, submit the form to confirm it appears and can be completed.
⚠️ Warning: If you’re testing an opt-in form, use a real email you can access so you can verify follow-up emails (if you have them enabled).
Step 5. Publish your WordPress changes
WordPress changes won’t be visible to visitors until they’re saved (and your page is publicly accessible).
In the editor, click Save (and Publish or Update, if applicable).
Confirm the page you embedded the quiz on is accessible to visitors (not private, password-protected, or restricted).
❗ Important: If you embed the quiz but don’t Save/Publish your changes, the quiz won’t appear for visitors.
