In this post, I’ll guide you through the simplest method to add a WhatsApp button to a WordPress post—all completely free and without the need for any plugins. This process is straightforward and can be completed in just a few minutes, regardless of the language of your blog. For demonstration purposes, I will be using a Spanish blog, but rest assured, the steps are applicable to all languages.

We begin by navigating to the WordPress dashboard, selecting “Posts,” and creating a new one. To keep things efficient, I have pre-written some content, which I will paste directly into the editor. I’m using the Gutenberg editor for this demonstration, and I will title the post in Spanish, “How to Accredit a Becca with Homelife Academy.” Next, I assign the post to a relevant category and add frequently used tags.

Afterward, I upload a featured image and paste the main content into the body of the article. To enhance the post, I also embed a YouTube video by selecting the appropriate block, pasting the video URL, and embedding it.

Now, to add the WhatsApp button. I insert a button block, label it “I need more information” (in Spanish), and customize its style. The button is set with white text and a green background, reminiscent of WhatsApp’s color scheme. To make the button functional, I configure the URL by inserting a phone number (starting with the country code) and a predefined message. Once the link is applied to the button, I ensure it opens in a new tab.

After completing these steps, I preview the post. The article now contains a title, category, excerpt, featured image, body content, a video, and the WhatsApp button. A quick test shows that the button is functional, with a clickable link visible in the lower-left corner of the screen.
