Prerequisites


Before adding widgets to your website there are a few steps that must be completed first.


  1. Contact support and ask them to whitelist your website Permitted URL's with MinistryPlatform. This includes design environment and production (published) URL's.
  2. Add MinistryPlatform's Shared Widget Script to your site Body End HTML. Go to More, Settings, Head HTML, Body End HTML. When the script is added here it doesn't need to be added to every page where you want to use widgets.
  3. Login to MinistryPlatform. The Widget Configurator requires you to be logged in.
