Putting Studio content on your own website

Embeds & Shortcodes

You don't have to move your website to Studio to use Studio. Your events, groups, forms, giving, and membership signup can all appear on a site you already run — WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, a hand-built site, anything that lets you paste HTML.

Three ways to do it

  • An iframe — works on any platform that accepts an HTML block. This is the general answer.
  • A WordPress shortcode — if your site is WordPress and you have the Studio Connect plugin, this is tidier and sizes itself automatically.
  • A calendar subscription — for events, so people can subscribe in their own calendar app.

Where to get the code

Every embeddable thing has a Share & Embed panel in Studio that builds the snippet in front of you as you change the options. Set it up the way you want it, then copy. Don't hand-write these from memory — let the panel do it.

  • Events → Share & Embed
  • Groups → Share & Embed
  • Forms → the form's share panel
  • Donation forms → the share panel on the form
  • Memberships → the share panel on the membership
  • Sponsorships → Sponsorships → Embeds

Nothing to set up, nothing to rotate

For events and groups there is no embed to create and no key to issue. The snippet is just a URL with a few options on the end, so you change how it looks by editing one word in your own page — no going back into Studio, no republishing.

These embeds show exactly what your public pages show: published events, and groups that are active and open for enrollment. Nothing private is reachable through one, which is why they need no password.

Sponsorships work differently and do issue a key, because a sponsoree list can contain people who aren't published yet.

It stays current on its own

An embed reads live from Studio. Add an event, close enrollment on a group, change a price — your website reflects it immediately. There is nothing to re-paste.
