Configure the widget in Settings > CR Crypto Price, copy the generated shortcode, and paste it into a post, page, Shortcode block, or any area that supports shortcodes.
-
Does it work with WordPress 7.0?
-
Yes. Version 1.3.0 is tested up to WordPress 7.0.
-
Will it slow down my site?
-
The widget script and live market rendering are served by external services, so your WordPress server does not perform the market data calculations itself.

-
Yes. The admin selector includes 447 bundled cryptocurrency choices and 162 bundled fiat currencies. The top row is usually used for fiat currencies, while the main list is usually used for cryptocurrencies.
-
Can I customize the widget look?
-
Yes. You can control the background color, streaming mode, striped rows, rounded corners, shadow, border, and the optional powered-by signature.
-
How do I make the widget a fixed width?
-
Place the shortcode output inside a container with a fixed width. For best results, keep the available width at 220px or wider.
-
Can I hide the signature link?
-
Yes. Set the signature option to 0 in the shortcode, or disable it in the admin settings before copying the generated shortcode.
-
Where does the live data come from?
-
The front-end widget and admin preview load from CO-IN.IO. The optional attribution link points to CurrencyRate.Today, and cryptocurrency icons in the admin selector are loaded from CryptoCompare.
