Pixieset Website Testimonials with Custom Code
Pixieset Website gives you three code spots, all on its Pro tier: a custom embed code block between content blocks, a Custom Code element inside a Flex block, and site wide Custom Header and Footer Code under Settings. Use them together. The StoryProof script goes once into the footer field, and each page that needs praise gets only a widget div, placed as a full block or tucked beside a portfolio image.
- The script for Custom Footer Code, added once
- A div for an embed block or a Flex element

Pixieset code spots
Three snippets for Pixieset Website
Enter the widget id from StoryProof. Snippet 1 is pasted once for the whole site. Snippet 2 is the visible widget, either as its own block or as an element in a Flex block. Snippet 3 is a fallback for a single page if you would rather not touch site settings.
Part 1 · Snippet 1: once, for every page
Website › Settings › Advanced › Custom Footer Code
<script src="https://app.storyproof.io/embed.js" async></script>Part 2 · Snippet 2: where the testimonials appear
Page › green + between blocks › Others › custom embed code block (or Flex block › Open Editor › +Add Elements › Custom Code)
<div data-storyproof-widget="YOUR_WIDGET_ID"></div>Part 3 · Snippet 3: one page only, no footer code
A single custom embed code block on that page
<div data-storyproof-widget="YOUR_WIDGET_ID"></div>
<script src="https://app.storyproof.io/embed.js" async></script>Publish the site and open the live page. Pixieset says footer code does not run in the editing dashboard and complex embeds may not render in the builder, so the published page is the real test.
Your id only fills in the snippets on this page. It is not stored.
The problem, solved
Pixieset Website problems this setup avoids
- Problem 1
The embed block looks blank while editing
Pixieset warns that more complicated code may not fully render in the site builder, and that header and footer code cannot run in the dashboard at all.
How StoryProof solves it
Nothing is wrong with the StoryProof lines. A div waits for the script, which runs on the published site, so check there.
- Problem 2
I want praise right beside a photo
A full width embed block between sections feels disconnected from the image it is about.
How StoryProof solves it
Open the Flex block holding the image, add a Custom Code element and paste only the div. The footer script fills it like any other widget div.
- Problem 3
Different sessions need different reviews
Newborn clients and brand clients care about different things, and one mixed widget suits neither page.
How StoryProof solves it
Tag approved testimonials by session type and build a widget per tag, so the newborn page and the branding page each get their own div.
- Problem 4
My plan has no custom code
Pixieset lists custom code as a premium feature of the Pro Website plan or the Pro and Ultimate Suite plans.
How StoryProof solves it
Until you upgrade, link a Pixieset button to the hosted Wall of Love that every StoryProof plan includes, and keep only approved testimonials on it.
In StoryProof
Set it up in Pixieset Website
Step 1 of 4
Add the script once
In your Pixieset Website settings, open Advanced and paste Snippet 1 into Custom Footer Code, which Pixieset places before the closing body tag on every page.
Step 2 of 4
Pick the page and spot
Open the page in the builder. Choose a gap between two content blocks for a full block, or a Flex block if the widget should sit beside an image or text.
Step 3 of 4
Paste the div
For a block, click the green + icon, open Others and add a custom embed code block. For Flex, click Open Editor, then +Add Elements, add Custom Code and click Edit Custom Code. Paste Snippet 2.
Step 4 of 4
Publish and view live
Publish, then open the page on its public address on desktop and phone. Use Safe Preview to look at the block if you want a check before publishing.
Which Pixieset code spot to use
Before you start
Limits on Pixieset
Pro tier only
Pixieset says custom code tools need the Pro Website plan or the Pro or Ultimate Suite plan, including to publish custom code.
Dashboard previews are unreliable
Footer code does not run in the editing dashboard, and complex code may not render in the builder. Test on the published site.
Website pages, not client galleries
This guide covers Pixieset Website pages. It does not describe adding code to client gallery or store pages.
Pixieset routes code questions out
Pixieset’s help sends questions about a snippet to whoever supplied it, so StoryProof support is where widget questions go.
Pixieset help as of 2026-11-14
The block names and plan rule come from Pixieset’s help as read on 2026-11-14; the footer field and Safe Preview details come from search results because those pages blocked direct reading. Not yet tested on a live site.
FAQ
Questions people ask
Short answers to what usually comes up next.
Do I need both the footer script and the embed block?
Only if you want the load once setup. For a single page, Snippet 3 puts both lines into one embed block and skips site settings.
What if I paste the full snippet on every page and also keep the footer script?
The script would then load twice on those pages. Keep the footer script and use only the div on each page.
Can the widget sit in a client gallery?
Pixieset’s custom code articles cover website pages. Put the widget on your site and link clients there from the gallery.
Will the Pixieset theme style the widget?
The widget brings its own layout. Choose the layout in StoryProof and let the surrounding Pixieset block set the spacing.
Still have a question? Ask the StoryProof team or book a demo.
