You can embed any Tickaroo Live Blog in WordPress without installing an additional plugin. The integration uses the Tickaroo EmbedJS widget: simply add the generated embed code to your page or post, and the Live Blog will load automatically and stay up to date.

Generate the Widget Code in Tickaroo

First, generate the embed code directly from your Live Blog.

  1. Open your Live Blog in the Tickaroo editor.

  2. Navigate to Integration in the menu bar.

  3. Open the Widget Code Generator.

  4. Select your preferred theme.

  5. Copy the generated widget code.



The current widget code (v4) looks similar to this:

<script async src="https://cdn.tickaroo.com/webng/embedjs/tik4.js"></script>
<tickaroo-liveblog
  liveblogId="YOUR_LIVEBLOG_ID"
  clientId="YOUR_CLIENT_ID"
  themeId="YOUR_THEME_ID">
</tickaroo-liveblog>

The generated code always contains:

  • Live Blog ID

  • Client ID

  • Theme ID

Add the Widget Code to WordPress

Gutenberg Block Editor

If you're using the WordPress Block Editor (Gutenberg):

  1. Open the page or post where you want to display the Live Blog.

  2. Add a Custom HTML block at the desired position.

  3. Paste the copied widget code into the block.

  4. Save or publish your changes.

Important:
Do not paste the code into a regular Paragraph block. The visual editor converts <script> tags into plain text, preventing the Live Blog from loading correctly.

Elementor

If you're using Elementor:

  1. Edit the page with Elementor.

  2. Drag the HTML widget onto the page.

  3. Paste the widget code into the HTML Code field.

  4. Click Update to publish your changes.

Important:
Use the HTML widget only. Do not paste the code into a Text Editor or Heading widget, as the required <script> tag may be removed.

Classic Editor

If you're using the Classic Editor:

  1. Open the page or post.

  2. Switch from the Visual tab to the Text tab.

  3. Paste the widget code.

  4. Save or publish the page.

Important:
Do not use the Visual editor, as it removes <script> tags from the content.

SEO Considerations

The Tickaroo Live Blog is loaded via JavaScript.

This means:

  • Search engines that execute JavaScript can index the Live Blog content.

  • Search engines that do not execute JavaScript may not see the embedded content.

For improved search engine indexing, Tickaroo provides server-side prefetch endpoints. More information can be found in the Tickaroo Developer Documentation.
