How to add Social Votes to your website

Embed Social Votes on Your Website

01

Create a Social Votes widget for your website on Common Ninja

First, create a Social Votes widget on Common Ninja. On the widgets catalog, find the Social Votes and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Social Votes widget

When you're done creating the Social Votes widget, 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 Social Votes Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Social Votes widget to your 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 widget embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your website.

04

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

Next, go to your Platform 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 Platform’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Social Votes Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Social Votes widget on your Platform 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 Social Votes widget on your Platform widget. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Platform 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 Social Votes widget to your Platform website. You can do this by putting it straight into your Platform website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Social Votes widget when you want visitors to interact with your content and help surface what matters most. By letting users like, upvote, or rank items, you turn passive browsing into participation. This is valuable for blogs, communities, product idea boards, resource lists, and any platform where feedback improves relevance. Social voting creates a clear signal of popularity or usefulness, so new visitors can quickly identify top items. It also encourages return visits because people like seeing how their votes affect results. With visible engagement, your site feels active and community driven, which builds trust and keeps users involved longer.
