đź”— How do I add or update my Xplorie widget link?
Follow these steps to add the new Xplorie link to your website. These instructions are platform-agnostic and should apply to most website builders or CMSs.
📍 Identify the Link Location
-
Decide where on your site the link should appear (navigation menu, footer, button, or inline text).
-
If you’re replacing an old link, note where it exists so you can edit it directly.
đź’ˇ Pro-Tip: Make Future Updates Easier
If you want to avoid manually updating this link across multiple pages/locations in the future:
-
Create a short redirect link on your site (for example, /xplorie-program).
-
Point the redirect to the full widget link.
ex. https://app.xplorie.com/widgets/:your_widget_id:/ -
Use the short link everywhere on your site.
-
If Xplorie provides you with a new widget link later, you’ll only need to update the redirect once, instead of editing multiple pages.
You can also use a simple link generator tool (such as an online URL builder like Rebrandly or Bitly) to create consistent, trackable URLs.
đź”— Add a New Link
-
Log in to your website editor (CMS, site builder, or code editor).
-
Highlight the text, button, or image you want to make clickable.
-
Look for the link/chain icon or a field labeled “Link,” “URL,” or “Destination.”
-
Paste your widget link. It should look similar to the one below.
https://app.xplorie.com/widgets/:your_widget_id:/
-
(Optional) For external links, select “Open in a new tab” if your editor provides the option.

Save/Publish your changes.
🖋️ Update an Existing Link
-
Log in to your site editor.
-
Locate the existing link you want to update.
-
Click on the link or button and choose Edit Link (usually a pencil or link icon).
-
Replace the old URL with your new link. It will look similar to the one below.
https://app.xplorie.com/widgets/:your_widget_id:/

Save/Publish your changes.
👍🏻 Verify Your Link
-
Visit the page and click the link to ensure it opens the widget correctly.
-
If you set it to open in a new tab, confirm it behaves as expected.
-
Test on both desktop and mobile.
✅ That’s it! Your site now links to the Xplorie widget, and you’re set up for easier maintenance in the future.
