Run HuddleSpot inside WordPress

The official HuddleSpot Community plugin embeds discussions, courses, events, and paid memberships directly inside your WordPress site — with single sign-on and your existing theme.

Free · Open source · Listed on WordPress.org · Slug: huddlespot-community

Setup

Live in three steps

No code, no migrations, no servers to babysit.

1

Install the plugin

From your WordPress admin, go to Plugins → Add New and search for HuddleSpot Community. Or download it directly from the WordPress.org plugin directory.

2

Connect your workspace

Paste your HuddleSpot API key into the plugin settings. The plugin validates the key and links your WordPress site to your HuddleSpot workspace in seconds.

3

Embed and go live

Drop the [huddlespot] shortcode on any page or use the Gutenberg blocks to embed discussions, courses, and member areas anywhere on your site.

FAQ

Common questions

Is the plugin free?

Yes. The HuddleSpot Community plugin is free and open source on WordPress.org. You only pay for your HuddleSpot plan if you exceed the free tier.

Do I need to host my community on WordPress?

No. Your community runs on HuddleSpot. The plugin embeds it inside WordPress so members never have to leave your site.

Will it slow down my WordPress site?

No. The plugin only loads assets on pages where you embed HuddleSpot content. Real-time features run on HuddleSpot servers, not yours.

Does it work with my page builder?

Yes. Shortcodes work in Elementor, Beaver Builder, Divi, Bricks, and the classic editor. Gutenberg blocks work in the block editor and any builder that supports them.
