GoHighLevel WordPress Plugin Guide
If you manage client work in ClickUp and host sites on WordPress, you can streamline your workflow by embedding GoHighLevel elements directly on your pages. This how-to guide explains, step by step, how to install, connect, and use the WordPress LC plugin so you can display reviews, calendars, surveys, and quizzes from your GoHighLevel account on any WordPress site.
Follow the instructions below carefully to avoid connection issues and ensure your forms and booking widgets render correctly for every visitor.
What the GoHighLevel WordPress LC Plugin Does
The official WordPress LC plugin lets you pull key GoHighLevel assets into WordPress without custom code. Once installed and connected to your sub-account, you can embed customer-facing tools across your pages.
With this plugin, you can display:
- Reviews pulled from your GoHighLevel account
- Calendars for appointment booking
- Surveys you create in your CRM
- Quizzes designed inside your funnels
This keeps your WordPress front end in sync with your GoHighLevel backend, giving you a unified experience across marketing and scheduling.
Prerequisites for Using GoHighLevel in WordPress
Before you start, make sure you meet these basic requirements.
- An active GoHighLevel account with access to Locations (sub-accounts)
- Administrator access to your WordPress site
- Ability to install and activate plugins on WordPress
- The GoHighLevel WordPress LC plugin installed and activated
Confirm that your WordPress site is running a modern version of PHP and WordPress core to minimize compatibility issues with the plugin.
Step 1: Install the GoHighLevel WordPress LC Plugin
The first step is to install the plugin on your WordPress website. You can either upload it manually or search for it through the plugin repository, depending on how it is distributed to you.
- Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard.
- Navigate to Plugins > Add New.
- Upload the LC plugin ZIP file if provided, or search for the official plugin name if it appears in the repository.
- Click Install Now and then Activate.
Once activated, the plugin settings will usually appear in your WordPress sidebar or under the Settings menu, ready for configuration.
Step 2: Get Your GoHighLevel Location ID
To connect your website, the plugin needs to know exactly which Location in GoHighLevel it should use. Each sub-account (Location) has a unique identifier, called the Location ID.
How to Find Your GoHighLevel Location ID
- Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
- Switch to the Location (sub-account) you want to connect to your WordPress site.
- Open the Settings area inside that Location.
- Locate the Business Profile or similar section where your Location ID is shown.
- Copy the full Location ID string exactly as it appears.
Keep this ID handy; you will paste it into the WordPress LC plugin settings in the next step.
Step 3: Connect the Plugin to Your GoHighLevel Location
With the plugin active and your Location ID ready, you can now connect WordPress to your CRM.
- In your WordPress dashboard, go to the LC plugin settings page.
- Find the field labeled Location ID or GoHighLevel Location ID.
- Paste the Location ID you copied from your GoHighLevel account.
- Click Save or Connect, depending on the button label.
If the connection is successful, the plugin will now read reviews, calendars, surveys, and quizzes from the connected Location.
Step 4: Embed GoHighLevel Reviews in WordPress
The plugin allows you to show reviews collected inside your CRM directly on your pages or posts.
How to Add a Reviews Widget
- Create or edit a WordPress page or post where you want the reviews to appear.
- If you use the block editor, add the block provided by the LC plugin (for example, a Reviews block).
- If the plugin uses shortcodes, paste the specific shortcode for reviews into the content area.
- Publish or update the page.
The reviews from your GoHighLevel Location should now display on the front end, styled according to the plugin defaults or your theme.
Step 5: Embed GoHighLevel Calendars
You can also embed calendars so visitors can book appointments without leaving your WordPress site.
How to Add a Calendar Widget
- In your GoHighLevel account, make sure you have at least one calendar configured for the connected Location.
- Back in WordPress, edit the page where you want the booking calendar to appear.
- Add the calendar block from the plugin or insert the calendar shortcode provided in the plugin documentation.
- Select the specific calendar if the block or shortcode allows choosing among multiple calendars.
- Save, preview, and publish the page.
Visitors will now be able to select dates and times pulled from your GoHighLevel calendar directly on your site.
Step 6: Add GoHighLevel Surveys and Quizzes
Beyond reviews and calendars, the LC plugin also supports embedding surveys and quizzes that you create in your Location.
Create Surveys and Quizzes in GoHighLevel
- Log in to your GoHighLevel Location.
- Go to the Surveys or Forms section.
- Create a new survey or quiz and configure all questions and settings.
- Save and publish the asset inside your CRM.
Embed Surveys and Quizzes in WordPress
- Edit the WordPress page where you want to display the survey or quiz.
- Insert the appropriate plugin block (for example, Survey or Quiz) or paste the corresponding shortcode.
- Select the survey or quiz you want to display if the block allows selection.
- Update and publish the page to make it live.
All responses collected through these embedded elements are stored in your GoHighLevel account, keeping your data centralized.
Troubleshooting GoHighLevel WordPress LC Plugin Issues
If your reviews, calendars, surveys, or quizzes do not appear correctly, check the following common causes.
- Incorrect Location ID: Verify that the Location ID in the plugin matches exactly the one in GoHighLevel.
- Plugin not updated: Ensure you are using the latest version of the LC plugin.
- Caching conflicts: Clear any WordPress or server cache if changes are not visible.
- Theme or plugin conflict: Temporarily switch to a default theme and disable other plugins to identify conflicts.
If problems persist, review the official documentation at this GoHighLevel WordPress LC plugin support article and contact support if necessary.
Best Practices for Using GoHighLevel on WordPress
To get the most from the WordPress LC plugin, follow these best practices.
- Keep both WordPress and the plugin updated to the latest stable versions.
- Test each new reviews, calendar, survey, or quiz element on a staging site before going live.
- Use clear headings and calls to action around each embedded GoHighLevel widget.
- Monitor performance and remove unused widgets to keep pages loading quickly.
