WebSite X5 Evo and Pro

Do you regularly update one or more social media profiles? Think about how much content you’ve published: including that content in your web pages could increase your follower count.


You can do just that using SnapWidget, a feature you can easily add with one of WebSite X5's Optional Objects. With the free SnapWidget Optional Object, each time you post photos or videos to Instagram, X (ex Twitter), or Facebook they will also automatically be displayed on your web pages.



Insert the SnapWidget Optional Object

  • If you haven't already, install the SnapWidget Optional Object, then add it to the page where you want to include your Social content.
  • Double-click on the Object after adding it to view the settings window and click on the Start now button in the banner to visit the dedicated SnapWidget page.


#tip - Social content widgets are also perfect for your pages’ headers or footers.


Register and create your widget

To continue, you’ll need to create a SnapWidget account. Watch this video or keep reading to learn how to register.

  • Click on the Get a free widget and insert the information requested to create a SnapWidget account.
  • Go to the dashboard and click on the Create A New Widget button.
  • Now choose the type of widget you want to create from the list. For example, choose Free Instagram Grid widget. Click on the Create A New Widget button.
  • Enter your username in the Username field. If this is your first widget, you’ll need to connect your Instagram account: click on the + button and add your account.
  • Now you can use the available options to customize your widget the way you like.
  • Click on the Preview button to see how your widget will be displayed.
  • When you're satisfied, click on the Get Widget button to receive the code.


Adding the SnapWidget code to your site

  • Copy the code, then return to WebSite X5 and paste it into the dedicated field.
  • If you like, you can switch on the fixed height option and specify the pixel value: the SnapWidget content block won't exceed this height.
  • Save and click on Preview to see how the widget displays social content on your web page.
