How to add Process to a XenForo community

Embed Process on XenForo

01

Create a Process plugin for XenForo on Common Ninja

First, create a XenForo Process plugin on Common Ninja. On the plugins catalog, find the Process and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Process plugin

When you're done creating the Process 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 Process Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Process plugin to your XenForo community, 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 XenForo community.

04

Paste the code to your XenForo website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your XenForo community 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 XenForo’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Process Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Process plugin on your XenForo community.

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 Process plugin on your XenForo 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 XenForo community’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 Process plugin to your XenForo community. You can do this by putting it straight into your XenForo community's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Process widget when you need to explain how something works in a way that feels approachable and structured. By breaking a task or workflow into sequential steps with icons, titles, and descriptions, you help visitors understand what will happen if they start. This is effective for onboarding, services, application flows, delivery procedures, and complex offerings that might otherwise feel intimidating. A clear process section reduces uncertainty, sets expectations, and makes your solution feel more manageable. It also helps teams stay aligned on the story they tell, since the steps are defined visually in one place. Visitors can quickly see that you have a method rather than a vague promise.
