How to add Call Button to a WP Engine website

Embed Call Button on WP Engine

01

Create a Call Button plugin for WP Engine on Common Ninja

First, create a WP Engine Call Button plugin on Common Ninja. On the plugins catalog, find the Call Button and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Call Button plugin

When you're done creating the Call Button plugin, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Call Button Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Call Button plugin to your WP Engine website, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the plugin embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your WP Engine website.

04

Paste the code to your WP Engine website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your WP Engine website editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the WP Engine’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Call Button Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Call Button plugin on your WP Engine website.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Call Button plugin on your WP Engine plugin. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your WP Engine website’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Call Button plugin to your WP Engine website. You can do this by putting it straight into your WP Engine website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Call Button widget when phone conversations are still your strongest conversion or support channel and you want to reduce the steps required to dial. Especially on mobile, a tap to call button removes friction for users who prefer speaking with a human over submitting forms. This is essential for local businesses, service providers, emergency lines, and sales teams that close via phone. Placing the button in a consistent, visible location makes it easy for visitors to contact you whenever questions appear. It turns your site from a static brochure into an active starting point for real conversations.
