What is thePlus.so for WordPress?
thePlus.so is a widget tool that works with WordPress. You build a countdown timer, announcement banner, image carousel, clock or visitor counter in the thePlus.so dashboard and copy one link. In the block editor you add a Custom HTML block and paste the link inside an iframe tag. No plugin is installed, so there is nothing to update and nothing to clash with your theme. On self-hosted WordPress this works wherever your user role can add HTML. On WordPress.com, some plans remove iframes from the published page, so check the live page. Because the widget is hosted by thePlus.so, you edit it in the dashboard and every page updates. The free plan includes 2 widgets and needs no credit card. Pro costs $60 a year, or $6 a month, and adds unlimited widgets, image upload up to 10 MB, full analytics and priority support, and it removes the thePlus.so badge.
0 updates pushed. No republishing, no editor.
Interactive demo. Change the title, pick a color and update the page.
