# The ReviewPine WordPress plugin

The ReviewPine plugin lists your widgets inside WordPress and gives each one a **shortcode** you can paste anywhere.

## Set it up

1. In WordPress, go to **Plugins → Add New**, search for **ReviewPine**, then **Install** and **Activate**.
2. Open **ReviewPine** in the admin menu.
3. New to ReviewPine? Click **Create a free account**. It opens our website in a new tab: sign up, add your business and create a widget.
4. Back in WordPress, click **Connect ReviewPine**, then **Allow and connect**.
5. Next to the widget you want, click **Copy**.
6. Paste the shortcode into a **Shortcode** block, your page builder's shortcode element, or a text widget. Update the page.

## Making changes

Design your widgets on ReviewPine. Saved changes appear on your website by themselves. If you create a new widget, click **Refresh** on the plugin page to see it.

## What the connection can do

Connecting only lets your website **see your widget names and shortcodes**. It can't change your widgets, businesses, reviews or billing.

## Disconnect

Click **Disconnect** on the plugin page, or in ReviewPine open **Your account → Connected sites** and click **Remove**. Shortcodes already on your pages keep working.

## Statuses

- **Live:** the widget is showing reviews.
- **Default:** the widget that stays live on the [Free plan](/billing/free-plan).
- **Offline:** your plan or trial ended. [Choose a plan](/billing/when-a-plan-ends) to bring it back.
