Create a Social Votes add-on for WPBakery on Common Ninja

First, create a WPBakery Social Votes add-on on Common Ninja. On the add-ons catalog, find the Social Votes and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Social Votes add-on

When you're done creating the Social Votes add-on, 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 add-on to your WPBakery 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 add-on embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your WPBakery website.

04

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

Next, go to your WPBakery 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 WPBakery’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 add-on on your WPBakery website.

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 add-on on your WPBakery add-on. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your WPBakery 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 add-on to your WPBakery website. You can do this by putting it straight into your WPBakery 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.
