How to Embed a Course on WordPress

Embedding a ProProfs course directly on your WordPress site helps you deliver training content without sending learners to a separate platform. Whether you're selling courses, running onboarding programs, or offering public access to a training module, embedding ensures learners stay on your site and on track.

Why This Matters

• Delivers a seamless user experience - Visitors don't have to switch tabs or log into multiple systems to view your training content.

• Keeps your brand intact - You can maintain the look and feel of your website while embedding interactive training modules, quizzes, and videos.

• Improves learner engagement and visibility - Embedding lets you place training in the exact context your learners need, whether it's inside a product page, blog, or gated portal.

• Supports external delivery models - For clients embedding content into job portals, nonprofit hubs, or resource centers, course links can be placed behind registration or paywalls with full control.

Here's what an embedded course on a WordPress page will look like:

To embed a course on WordPress:

Step 1: Click the send icon of a course on your ProProfs Training Maker dashboard and switch to the Embed tab to get the embed code. Select the dimensions or enter a custom size and copy the code.

Step 2: Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard and navigate to the page or post where you want to embed the HTML code. Click to open the one you want to edit.

Step 3: Click the plus icon (+) to add a new block. In the search bar, search for HTML. Select Custom HTML.

Step 4: Paste the code you've copied. You can preview it using the Preview button.

Step 5: Once satisfied, publish or update the page to make the embedded course live.

Best Practices

• Test responsiveness across devices to make sure embedded content looks good on mobile and tablets.

• Use WordPress roles or plugin-based restrictions to control who can access embedded training, especially for internal or gated learning hubs.

• Embed strategically within relevant content (e.g., onboarding blog posts, support articles, or sales pages) to drive contextual engagement.

• Keep sizing consistent with your page layout; fixed-width embeds work best for desktop-heavy traffic, while percentage-based widths are better for mixed devices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I embed more than one course on the same page?
Yes, but you'll need to paste a separate embed code for each course. Make sure the page layout can accommodate the additional content without performance issues.

Will embedded quizzes and videos still work?
Yes. All interactive features like quizzes, videos, and course completion logic remain fully functional within the embedded version.

Can I track who accessed the embedded course?
Tracking works best if users are enrolled via ProProfs or access the course through a registered login flow. If your WordPress site doesn't require a login, tracking may be limited.

Does this work with all WordPress versions and themes?
The Custom HTML block is supported in WordPress 5.0+ with the Gutenberg editor. If you're using a classic editor or a page builder (like Elementor), use their HTML or Embed widgets instead.
