Lyckligtvis har jag lärt mig att det alltid finns en väg tillbaka in. Oavsett om det är via FTP, e-postmeddelanden om återställning av lösenord eller återställning av lösenordet via databasen, har jag utvecklat ett idiotsäkert system för att kringgå WordPress-inloggningsproblem.

I den här guiden kommer jag att dela med mig av de expertmetoder som jag har lärt mig under åren av WordPress-felsökning. Det här är inte bara slumpmässiga tips från internet – det är beprövade lösningar som har hjälpt många webbplatsägare att återfå kontrollen över sina webbplatser.

När behöver du kringgå WordPress-inloggningen?

Ibland är det inte så enkelt att logga in på WordPress som att ange användarnamn och lösenord. Saker och ting kan gå fel och åtkomsten blockeras.

Här är några vanliga situationer när du kan behöva kringgå inloggningsskärmen:

🔑 Glömt lösenord: Om du inte kommer ihåg ditt lösenord och e-postmeddelandet om återställning aldrig kommer, kan du inte logga in. Detta kan hända om dina e-postinställningar är felkonfigurerade eller om e-postmeddelanden filtreras som skräppost.

⚙️ Plugin-konflikter: Vissa säkerhets- eller inloggningsplugins kan vara inkompatibla med annan programvara på din webbplats, vilket orsakar inloggningsproblem. En felkonfigurerad inställning, en plugin-uppdatering eller till och med ett cachningsproblem kan orsaka WordPress-fel som blockerar användaråtkomst.

🚨 Hackad webbplats: Hackare kan låsa ut dig genom att ändra dina inloggningsuppgifter. I det här fallet är det nödvändigt att kringgå inloggningen för att återfå kontrollen och säkra din webbplats.

🚫 För många misslyckade inloggningsförsök: Många säkerhetsplugins blockerar inloggningsförsök efter flera felaktiga lösenord. Om du har blivit utestängd på grund av för många misslyckade inloggningar måste du kringgå denna begränsning för att återfå åtkomst.

🛠️ Trasig inloggningssida: En felaktig uppdatering av ett tema eller plugin kan ibland förstöra inloggningssidan. Om inloggningsformuläret inte laddas korrekt eller visar fel fungerar inte standardinloggningsmetoder.

🔄 Problem med anpassad inloggningsadress: Vissa säkerhetsplugins gör att du kan ändra standardinloggningsadressen för extra skydd. Om du glömmer den nya webbadressen kan du inte komma åt inloggningssidan.

Den goda nyheten är att det finns sätt att kringgå problemet och komma tillbaka på ett säkert sätt. Jag kommer att gå igenom flera olika felsökningstips för WordPress.

Du kan använda hopplänkarna nedan för att hoppa till valfritt avsnitt:

Med det sagt, låt oss ta en titt på några enkla sätt att kringgå WordPress-inloggning.

Tips 1. Använd URL:en för direkt inloggning

Ibland kanske du inte hittar inloggningsskärmen för WordPress.

I så fall är den enklaste lösningen att använda den direkta inloggnings-URL:en. WordPress har en standardinloggningssida som du kan komma åt även om det finns mindre problem med din webbplats.

För att komma åt denna inloggningssida kan du prova följande webbadresser:

• www.example.com/wp-admin/
• www.example.com/wp-login.php
• www.example.com/admin/
• www.example.com/login/

Glöm dock inte att ersätta “example.com” med ditt eget domännamn.

Om du skriver in någon av dessa webbadresser i din webbläsare kommer du till din inloggningsskärm.

Nu kanske du undrar hur åtkomst till inloggningsskärmen kan hjälpa dig att kringgå den.

Om din WordPress-session fortfarande är aktiv (du är fortfarande inloggad) kan URL:en wp-admin/ till och med ta dig till din WordPress-instrumentpanel utan att du behöver ange ett lösenord.

Om inloggningssidan inte laddas kan du också försöka lägga till en omdirigerings-URL. Om du skriver in den i din webbläsare kan du tvinga WordPress att omdirigera dig till inloggningsskärmen:

www.example.com/wp-admin/?redirect_to=yourwebsite.com/wp-admin/

Om ingen av dessa webbadresser fungerar kan du prova mitt nästa trick.

Tips 2. Återställ ditt lösenord via e-post

Om du inte kan logga in på grund av ett glömt lösenord erbjuder WordPress ett inbyggt sätt att återställa det via e-post. Detta är ofta det snabbaste och enklaste sättet att återfå åtkomsten.

Detta gör du genom att gå till WordPress inloggningssida(https://example.com/wp-login.php) och klicka på länken “Lost your password?”.

När du har gjort det måste du ange ditt användarnamn eller din e-postadress och klicka på knappen “Get New Password”.

WordPress kommer då att skicka en länk för återställning av lösenord till din e-post. Klicka på länken och följ instruktionerna för att ställa in ett nytt lösenord.

Om du inte får e-postmeddelandet ska du kontrollera din skräppostmapp. Vissa hostingleverantörer eller e-postinställningar kan blockera e-postmeddelanden från WordPress.

Om det händer kan du behöva återställa ditt lösenord manuellt via databasen (mer om detta i nästa avsnitt).

🔎 Relaterat inlägg: Om din webbplats hackades kanske du vill återställa lösenorden för alla dina användare. I så fall, se den här handledningen om hur du återställer lösenord för alla användare i WordPress.

Tips 3. Återställ lösenord från din databas

Om e-postmeddelandet om återställning av lösenord inte fungerar kan du återställa lösenordet manuellt via webbplatsens databas. Den här metoden kräver åtkomst till kontrollpanelen för ditt webbhotell.

För denna handledning kommer jag att använda Bluehost, men kom ihåg att dessa steg kommer att skilja sig något beroende på din värdleverantör.

Öppna bara din värdpanel och växla till fliken “Avancerat”. Leta sedan reda på avsnittet “PHPMyAdmin” och klicka på knappen “Hantera”.

📌 S nabbförklaring: phpMyAdmin är ett verktyg för att hantera webbplatsens lagrade information (som ett arkivskåp för din webbplats).

När phpMyAdmin har startats på din skärm måste du välja din databas i den vänstra kolumnen. Du kommer nu att se listan över tabeller i din WordPress-databas.

Här letar du efter tabellen wp_users i listan och klickar på länken “Browse” bredvid den

Tänk på att tabellnamnen i din databas kan ha ett annat prefix än det jag visar i min skärmdump. Prefixet är den grupp av bokstäver som föregår understrecket (_) i tabellnamnet.

Mer information finns i denna handledning om ändring av tabellprefix.

Du kommer nu att se en lista över din webbplats WordPress-användare. Klicka här på länken “Redigera” bredvid användarnamnet för det lösenord du vill ändra.

Gå vidare och radera värdet i fältet “password” och ersätt det med ditt nya lösenord.

Därefter klickar du på knappen “Go” längst ner för att spara dina ändringar.

Besök nu din webbplats för att se om du kan logga in.

För detaljerade instruktioner, se denna handledning om hur du återställer ett WordPress-lösenord från phpMyAdmin.

Tips 4. Inaktivera säkerhetsplugins via FTP

Ibland kan ett säkerhetsplugin av misstag blockera dig från att logga in på din WordPress-webbplats. Om du misstänker att detta kan vara problemet kan du inaktivera insticksprogrammet manuellt med FTP.

📌 S nabb förklaring: FTP är ett program som hjälper dig att ladda upp och ladda ner filer till din webbplats (som en bro mellan din dator och webbplatsen).

Först måste du ansluta din webbplats till en FTP-klient som FileZilla. Om du inte vet hur man gör det, se den här handledningen om hur man använder FTP för att ladda upp WordPress-filer.

När du har gjort det, navigera till mappen/wp-content" plugins.

Detta öppnar en ny mapp med en lista över alla nedladdade plugins på din webbplats.

Härifrån måste du hitta mappen för det säkerhetsplugin du vill inaktivera. Om du till exempel använder Wordfence, leta efter en fil med dess namn.

När du hittar den högerklickar du på plugin-mappen och väljer alternativet “Byt namn”. Ändra sedan mappens namn till wordfence-disabled.

Detta kommer att avaktivera pluginet omedelbart eftersom WordPress inte kommer att kunna hitta det. Du kan nu försöka logga in på din webbplats för att se om problemet har åtgärdats.

Tips 5. Skapa en ny administratörsanvändare via phpMyAdmin

Ett annat sätt att kringgå inloggningen är att skapa en ny administratörsanvändare direkt från databasen med hjälp av phpMyAdmin.

Gå vidare och öppna ditt webbhotells instrumentpanel, växla till fliken “Avancerat” och välj avsnittet “PHPMyAdmin”.

När den öppnas måste du klicka på tabellen wp_users. Detta tar dig till en ny skärm där alla användare på din webbplats kommer att listas i en rad.

Här klickar du på fliken “Insert” högst upp för att lägga till information om en ny administratörsanvändare.

Steg-för-steg-instruktioner finns i den här guiden om hur du lägger till en adminanvändare i WordPress-databasen.

När du har slutfört processen kan du försöka logga in på WordPress med de nya administratörsuppgifterna.

Tips 6. Återställ din webbplats från säkerhetskopian

Om du säkerhetskopierade din webbplats innan du blev utelåst kan du återställa den för att återfå åtkomsten.

De flesta plugins för säkerhetskopiering låter dig återställa din webbplats genom att ladda upp en säkerhetskopia eller använda en extern återställningsfunktion.

Om du till exempel använder ett backup-plugin som Duplicator kan du ladda upp ditt backup-paket och din installationsfil till din server för att återställa din webbplats med bara några få klick.

Med den betalda versionen av Duplicator-pluginet har du också tillgång till återställning av säkerhetskopior med ett klick.

Detta gör att du kan återställa din säkerhetskopia nästan omedelbart.

Men om du har säkerhetskopierat din webbplats manuellt måste du återställa den med hjälp av din databas och dina filer. Du kan antingen skapa en ny databas och importera din säkerhetskopia till den, eller tömma din befintliga databas och importera säkerhetskopian.

Dessa metoder kommer att vara lite komplexa, varför jag inte rekommenderar dem till nybörjare.

När den är återställd kan du logga in på din webbplats som vanligt och konfigurera om inställningarna vid behov.

För mer information, se denna nybörjarguide om hur du återställer WordPress från en säkerhetskopia.

Så här ser du till att du inte blir utelåst igen 🔒

Jag vet att det kan vara frustrerande att bli utelåst från sin WordPress-webbplats. Här är några enkla steg som kan förhindra att det händer igen:

• Använd en lösenordshanterare: Att glömma lösenord är en av de vanligaste orsakerna till inloggningsproblem. Jag rekommenderar att du använder en lösenordshanterare som 1Password för att lagra dina inloggningsuppgifter på ett säkert sätt så att du inte behöver komma ihåg dem.
• Konfigurera ett SMTP-plugin: Ibland skickar WordPress inte e-postmeddelanden om återställning av lösenord på grund av serverbegränsningar. Att installera ett SMTP-plugin som WP Mail SMTP säkerställer att din webbplats skickar e-postmeddelanden på ett tillförlitligt sätt, inklusive länkar för återställning av lösenord.
• Gör en säkerhetskopia av din inloggningsadress: Om du använder ett säkerhetsplugin för att ändra din standardinloggningsadress, se till att du sparar den på ett säkert ställe. Detta förhindrar förvirring när du försöker logga in senare.
• Aktivera tvåfaktorsautentisering: Att lägga till ett extra lager av säkerhet förhindrar obehöriga inloggningar och håller din webbplats säker. Använd ett plugin som WP 2FA eller Google Authenticator för att kräva en verifieringskod under inloggningen.
• Ha ett alternativt administratörskonto: Om ditt huvudkonto blir utlåst kan det vara en livräddare att ha ett sekundärt administratörskonto. Se bara till att hålla det säkert och begränsa åtkomsten till betrodda användare.
• Skapa regelbundna säkerhetskopior: Med en aktuell säkerhetskopia kan du snabbt återställa din webbplats om du någonsin blir utelåst. Duplicator gör det enkelt att skapa och återställa fullständiga säkerhetskopior, så att du alltid har ett återställningsalternativ.

Genom att följa dessa steg kan du undvika framtida låsningar och se till att din WordPress-webbplats fungerar smidigt.

The post Hur man kringgår WordPress-inloggning (7 experttips) first appeared on WPBeginner.

Fortunately, I’ve learned that there’s always a way back in. Whether it’s through FTP, password reset emails, or resetting the password via the database, I’ve developed a foolproof system for bypassing WordPress login issues.

In this guide, I’ll share the expert methods I’ve learned over the years of WordPress troubleshooting. These aren’t just random tips from the internet – they’re proven solutions that have helped many website owners regain control of their sites.

When Do You Need to Bypass WordPress Login?

Sometimes, logging into WordPress isn’t as simple as entering your username and password. Things can go wrong, and access gets blocked.

Here are some common situations when you may need to bypass the login screen:

🔑 Forgotten Password: If you can’t remember your password and the reset email never arrives, you won’t be able to log in. This can happen if your email settings are misconfigured or if emails are being filtered as spam.

⚙️ Plugin Conflicts: Some security or login plugins may be incompatible with other software on your site, causing login problems. A misconfigured setting, a plugin update, or even a caching issue could cause WordPress errors that block user access.

🚨 Hacked Website: Hackers might lock you out by changing your login details. In this case, bypassing login is necessary to regain control and secure your site.

🚫 Too Many Failed Login Attempts: Many security plugins block login attempts after multiple incorrect passwords. If you’ve been locked out due to too many failed logins, you’ll need to bypass this restriction to regain access.

🛠️ Broken Login Page: A faulty theme or plugin update can sometimes break the login page. If the login form isn’t loading correctly or is showing errors, then standard login methods won’t work.

🔄 Custom Login URL Issues: Some security plugins allow you to change the default login URL for extra protection. If you forget the new URL, you can’t access the login page.

The good news is that there are ways to bypass the issue and get back in safely. I will walk you through several different WordPress troubleshooting tips.

You can use the jump links below to skip to any section:

Having said that, let’s take a look at some easy ways to bypass WordPress login.

Tip 1. Use the Direct Login URL

Sometimes you might not be able to find the WordPress login screen.

In that case, the simplest fix is to use the direct login URL. WordPress has a default login page that you can access even if there are minor issues with your site.

To access this login page, you can try the following URLs:

• www.example.com/wp-admin/
• www.example.com/wp-login.php
• www.example.com/admin/
• www.example.com/login/

However, don’t forget to replace ‘example.com’ with your own domain name.

Typing any of these URLs into your browser will take you to your login screen.

Now, you might be wondering how accessing the login screen can help you bypass it.

Well, if your WordPress session is still active (you’re still logged in), then the wp-admin/ URL might even take you to your WordPress dashboard without requiring a password.

If the login page doesn’t load, then you can also try adding a redirect URL. Entering this in your browser might force WordPress to redirect you to the login screen:

www.example.com/wp-admin/?redirect_to=yourwebsite.com/wp-admin/

If none of these URLs work, then you can try my next trick.

Tip 2. Reset Your Password via Email

If you can’t log in because of a forgotten password, then WordPress offers a built-in way to reset it via email. This is often the quickest and easiest way to regain access.

To do this, go to the WordPress login page (https://example.com/wp-login.php) and click on the ‘Lost your password?’ link.

Once you do that, you will need to enter your username or email address and click the ‘Get New Password’ button.

WordPress will then send a password reset link to your email. Here, click the given link, and follow the instructions to set a new password.

If you don’t receive the email, then check your spam folder. Some hosting providers or email settings may block WordPress emails.

If that happens, you may need to reset your password manually through the database (more on this in the next section).

🔎 Related Post: If your site was hacked, then you may want to reset passwords for all your users. In that case, see this tutorial on how to reset password for all users in WordPress.

Tip 3. Reset Password From Your Database

If the password reset email isn’t working, then you can manually reset your password through your website’s database. This method requires access to your hosting control panel.

For this tutorial, I will be using Bluehost, but keep in mind that these steps will differ slightly depending on your hosting provider.

Simply open your hosting panel and switch to the ‘Advanced’ tab. Then, locate the ‘PHPMyAdmin’ section and click the ‘Manage’ button.

📌 Quick Explanation: phpMyAdmin is a tool to manage your website’s stored information (like a filing cabinet for your site).

Once phpMyAdmin launches on your screen, you need to select your database from the left column. You will now see the list of tables in your WordPress database.

Here, look for the wp_users table in the list and click the ‘Browse’ link next to it

Keep in mind that the table names in your database may have a different prefix than the one I am showing in my screenshot. The prefix is the group of letters before the underscore (_) in the table name.

To learn more, see this tutorial on changing table prefixes.

You will now see a list of your website’s WordPress users. From here, click the ‘Edit’ link next to the username for the password you want to change.

Go ahead and delete the value in the ‘password’ field and replace it with your new password.

After that, click the ‘Go’ button at the bottom to store your changes.

Now visit your website to see if you can log in.

For detailed instructions, see this tutorial on how to reset a WordPress password from phpMyAdmin.

Tip 4. Disable Security Plugins via FTP

Sometimes, a security plugin can accidentally block you from logging into your WordPress site. If you suspect this might be the issue, you can manually disable the plugin using FTP.

📌 Quick Explanation: FTP is a program that helps you upload and download files to your website (like a bridge between your computer and website).

First, you will need to connect your website with an FTP client like FileZilla. If you don’t know how to do that, see this tutorial on how to use FTP to upload WordPress files.

Once you have done that, navigate to the/wp-content » plugins folder.

This will open a new folder with a list of all the downloaded plugins on your site.

From here, you need to find the folder of the security plugin you want to disable. For example, if you’re using Wordfence, look for a file with its name.

When you find it, right-click the plugin folder and select the ‘Rename’ option. Then, change the folder’s name to wordfence-disabled.

This will deactivate the plugin immediately as WordPress won’t be able to find it. You can now try logging in to your website to see if the issue has been fixed.

Tip 5. Create a New Admin User via phpMyAdmin

Another way to bypass the login is to create a new admin user directly from the database using phpMyAdmin.

Go ahead and open your hosting company’s dashboard, switch to the ‘Advanced’ tab, and select the ‘PHPMyAdmin’ section.

Once it opens up, you need to click on the wp_users table. This will take you to a new screen where all the users on your website will be listed in a row.

Here, click the ‘Insert’ tab at the top to add the information for a new admin user.

For step-by-step instructions, see this guide on how to add an admin user to the WordPress database.

Once you have completed the process, you can try logging into WordPress with the new admin credentials.

Tip 6. Restore Your Site From Backup

If you backed up your site before getting locked out, then you can restore it to regain access.

Most backup plugins let you restore your site by uploading a backup file or using an external restore feature.

For example, if you’re using a backup plugin like Duplicator, then you can upload your backup package and installer file to your server to restore your site in just a few clicks.

With the paid version of the Duplicator plugin, you’ll also have access to one-click backup restores.

This allows you to restore your backup almost immediately.

However, if you backed up your site manually, then you will need to restore it using your database and files. You can either create a new database and import your backup to it, or you can empty your existing database and import the backup.

These methods will be a bit complex, which is why I don’t recommend them to beginners.

Once restored, you can log in to your site as usual and reconfigure any settings if needed.

For more information, see this beginner’s guide on how to restore WordPress from backup.

How to Make Sure You Don’t Get Locked Out Again 🔒

I know that getting locked out of your WordPress site can be frustrating. Here are a few simple steps that can prevent it from happening again:

• Use a Password Manager: Forgetting passwords is one of the most common reasons for login issues. I recommend using a password manager like 1Password to securely store your credentials so you don’t have to remember them.
• Set Up an SMTP Plugin: Sometimes, WordPress doesn’t send password reset emails due to server restrictions. Installing an SMTP plugin like WP Mail SMTP ensures your site sends emails reliably, including password reset links.
• Keep a Backup of Your Login URL: If you use a security plugin to change your default login URL, then make sure you save it somewhere safe. This prevents confusion when trying to log in later.
• Enable Two-Factor Authentication: Adding an extra layer of security prevents unauthorized logins and keeps your site safe. Use a plugin like WP 2FA or Google Authenticator to require a verification code during login.
• Have an Alternative Admin Account: If your main account gets locked out, having a secondary administrator account can be a lifesaver. Just be sure to keep it secure and limit access to trusted users.
• Create Regular Backups: Having a recent backup ensures you can restore your site quickly if you ever get locked out. Duplicator makes it easy to create and restore full backups, so you always have a recovery option.

By following these steps, you can avoid future lockouts and keep your WordPress site running smoothly.

The post How to Bypass WordPress Login (7 Expert Tips) first appeared on WPBeginner.

The reason? They weren’t sure if they could trust our website with their payment information.

That’s when we discovered the power of trust badges. After adding them to our checkout pages, we saw an immediate improvement in sales. These small but powerful symbols help reassure customers that their transactions are secure and legitimate.

And fortunately, adding trust badges to your WordPress checkout pages isn’t complicated at all. Whether you’re selling physical products or digital downloads, this step-by-step guide will show you how to set up trust seals in WordPress.

You’ll learn which badges work best and where to place them for maximum impact. By the end of this tutorial, you’ll have everything you need to boost your store’s credibility and increase your sales.

Before we dive into the beginner’s guide, here are some quick links to help you navigate to the sections that you’re interested in:

What Are Trust Badges?

Trust badges are visual elements or icons designed to reassure visitors that your website or online store is secure, reliable, and credible. You have probably seen them on checkout pages, product pages, or even website footers.

They often include badges like ‘Secure Checkout,’ ‘Money-Back Guarantee,’ ‘Verified Seller,’ or ‘Free Shipping.’ These symbols act as subtle but powerful signals that help customers feel safe making a purchase from your store.

Trust badges are especially important for online stores because customers are sharing sensitive information like credit card details.

A well-placed trust badge, such as one showing your site uses SSL encryption or is backed by a reputable payment processor, can ease concerns and help to reduce cart abandonment.

Even small design choices, like adding a PayPal or Stripe logo, can have a big impact on customer confidence.

WordPress makes it easy to add trust badges using plugins, widgets, or even custom code.

Whether you run a WooCommerce store or sell digital products with Easy Digital Downloads, adding trust badges is a simple step that can directly affect your sales.

The Benefits of Using Trust Seals in Your Online Store

Adding trust badges to your WordPress site is about more than looking professional. It also gives your customers the confidence to take the next step.

When visitors trust your site, they are more likely to stick around, make a purchase, and even return for more.

Here are some key benefits of using trust badges on your site:

• ✔️Reduce Cart Abandonment: One of the biggest reasons customers abandon their carts is fear of fraud or security concerns. Displaying trust badges like ‘Secure Checkout’ or ‘SSL Secured’ reassures them that their information is safe.
• ✔️Boost Conversions: Trust badges directly impact your sales. When customers see that your store is verified or offers guarantees, they feel more confident buying from you. In fact, a study found that adding trust badges to checkout pages increased conversions by up to 42%.
• ✔️Build Credibility: Badges like ‘Verified Seller’ or those from well-known payment processors (like PayPal or Stripe) make your site look more credible.
• ✔️Encourage Repeat Purchases: When customers have a positive, trustworthy experience, they are more likely to come back. Badges like ‘Money-Back Guarantee’ or ‘100% Satisfaction Guaranteed’ tell buyers that you stand by your products and can build long-term loyalty.
• ✔️Improve Perceived Value: Trust badges also improve how customers view your products and services. A badge like ‘Free Shipping‘ has a psychological boost because users love the idea of getting more value without additional cost.

Types of Trust Badges That You Can Use

You must keep in mind that not all trust badges are created the same, and each serves a specific purpose to address different customer concerns. From security to shipping guarantees, the type of trust badge you use can make a big difference in how customers perceive your store.

Here are some of the most common types of trust badges used on WordPress sites.

Secure Checkout Badges

One of the biggest concerns for customers when it comes to online shopping is whether their personal and payment information is safe. This is where secure checkout badges come into play.

These badges, often displayed as a padlock icon or labeled with ‘SSL Secured,’ let shoppers know your site is using SSL encryption to protect sensitive data.

In WordPress, secure checkout badges can be automatically added if you are using a reliable SSL certificate.

Many hosting providers even include SSL for free.

Pairing this with a visible badge on your checkout page makes it clear to customers that their payment details are safe from hackers or breaches.

Payment Processor Badges

Another layer of reassurance comes from using payment processor badges. Logos from trusted payment providers like PayPal or Stripe tell customers that their transactions are being handled by well-known and secure systems.

For instance, we use a ‘PayPal Verified’ logo on the MonsterInsights checkout page. This immediately ensures customers that they have the option to pay securely through a trusted platform.

This simple addition can make all the difference when a hesitant shopper is deciding whether or not to complete their purchase.

Credit Card Logo Badges

Another idea for trust badges is to display credit card logo badges on your checkout page. These badges, like Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and others, let customers know that they can securely make payments using their preferred card.

It helps visitors feel more confident about sharing their payment information since they recognize these major payment brands. It is a simple way to show that your website supports safe and secure transactions.

We recommend placing these card logos where they are easy to spot, like near the payment options or checkout button.

Customer Satisfaction Badges

Customer satisfaction badges are a great way to boost confidence and encourage people to make a purchase. These badges signal to potential buyers that your store values their experience and offers reliable services.

For instance, Money-Back Guarantee is a customer satisfaction badge that reassures customers that if they are not happy with their purchase, they can get their money back.

Similarly, a Free Shipping Badge can instantly make your store more appealing. It is an easy way to increase conversions by highlighting a benefit that many customers look for when shopping online.

You can also add a Verified Seller Badge if you have a store on a platform like Etsy. This will allow you to show that your store is credible and trustworthy.

Client and Partner Logo Badges

Displaying your clients’ logos on your website is a powerful way to build credibility and trust.

When potential customers see that well-known brands or companies work with you or are using your product, it gives your business a stamp of approval.

For example, at OptinMonster, we show a list of logos of all the famous brands that are using our product.

Third-Party Endorsement Badges

Third-party endorsement badges are another tool for improving your credibility. They show that your business has been recognized or approved by an external organization or expert.

These badges act as independent validation that your products or services meet certain standards, making potential customers feel more confident about their purchase decisions.

For instance, seals from trusted organizations, like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) or security certification seals (like Norton or McAfee), can go a long way in reassuring customers that your site is safe.

If your business has won any industry awards or been featured in top publications, then you can also show these badges. They will serve as proof that experts or influencers in your field recognize your business’s quality and success.

Method 1: How to Add Custom Trust Badges to Checkout Pages in WooCommerce (Custom Code)

If you’ve already designed your WooCommerce checkout page and want to add trust badges to it, then this is the method for you. It’s also a free method if you don’t want to invest in a dedicated WooCommerce plugin like FunnelKit (Method 2).

We’re going to be working with custom code here, which can be a bit risky and even break your website. That’s why we’re going to use WPCode.

It is the best WordPress code snippets plugin on the market. After thorough testing, we have concluded that it is the easiest and safest way to add custom code. To learn more, see our WPCode review.

Note: Keep in mind that you will also need to add your own trust seal images to the WordPress media library. For details, see our guide on how to properly add images in WordPress.

First, you need to install and activate the WPCode plugin. For step by step instructions, see our tutorial on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Upon plugin activation, head over to the Code Snippets » + Add Snippet page from the WordPress dashboard.

Here, click the ‘Use Snippet’ button under the ‘Add Your Custom Code (New Snippet)’ option.

You will now be directed to a new screen where you must add a code snippet name. This name will only be for your identification and will not be shown to any users.

Then, choose ‘HTML Snippet’ as the ‘Code Type’ from the popup.

Go ahead and add the following custom code into the ‘Code Preview’ box:

<div class="wpcode-trust-badge" style="text-align: center;">
	<img src="/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/trust-badge.png" width="100" alt="Trusted" />
</div>

After that, be sure to replace the placeholder image URL with the URL of your trust badge image to display it correctly on the checkout page.

Keep in mind that you’ll need to upload the trust badge image to your WooCommerce store and retrieve its URL from the WordPress media library. If you’re unsure how to do this, check out our tutorial on how to get the URL of images you upload in WordPress.

You can add as many trust badge images as you like.

Now, scroll down to the ‘Insertion’ section and choose the ‘Shortcode’ option.

Then, toggle the ‘Inactive’ switch to ‘Active’ and click the ‘Save Snippet’ button.

Once you do that, WPCode will generate a shortcode that you will be adding to your WooCommerce checkout page.

Simply click the ‘Copy’ button and store the shortcode somewhere safe.

Now, open your store’s checkout page in the WordPress block editor.

Here, you need to choose a suitable place within the checkout block to display your trust badge, ensuring it’s highly visible to customers.

While the ‘Shortcode’ block isn’t available in this section, the trust badge shortcode will still work correctly when placed inside a ‘Paragraph’ block.

Finally, click the ‘Update’ or ‘Publish’ button to store your changes.

Now, visit your WooCommerce store to see the trust badges in action.

Method 2: How to Add Trust Badges to WooCommerce Checkout Pages (Plugin Method)

If you want to add trust badges to your WooCommerce checkout page without using custom code, then FunnelKit Funnel Builder is a great option.

It comes with professionally designed checkout templates that already include trust badges, helping you create a high-converting checkout experience with minimal effort.

Keep in mind that this version will involve creating an entirely custom WooCommerce checkout page. So, if you just want to add trust badges to your existing checkout page, then please go to Method 1.

We’ve tested FunnelKit a lot over the years, and it’s a great tool for improving your WooCommerce store. For details, see our complete FunnelKit review.

First, you need to install and activate the FunnelKit Funnel Builder plugin. For details, see our tutorial on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Once you’ve activated the plugin, you need to go to the FunnelKit » Store Checkout page and click the ‘Create Store Checkout’ button.

You can now choose from any of FunnelKit’s professionally designed checkout page templates.

To take a closer look at the trust badges for each template, simply click the ‘Preview’ button.

We’re using the Hific template, which has multiple trust badges related to security.

When you find a template you want to use, go ahead and click on the ‘Import This Funnel’ button.

Doing this will show a prompt on the screen.

Go ahead and click the ‘Activate’ button. Once you do that, type in the name for your store’s checkout page.

Method 3: How to Add Trust Badges to Checkout Pages for Digital Products

If you sell digital goods with Easy Digital Downloads (EDD), then it’s actually super easy to add trust badges to your checkout pages. You’ll just need to make sure that you first have a functional store for selling digital downloads in WordPress.

You’ll also need the WPCode plugin because it comes with built-in EDD locations that make it even easier to add trust badges to your store.

Important: Keep in mind that you will also need to add your own trust seal images to the WordPress media library. For details, see our guide on how to properly add images in WordPress.

First, you will need to install and activate the WPCode plugin. For details, see our guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Upon plugin activation, visit the Code Snippets » + Add Snippet page and choose the ‘Add Your Custom Code (New Snippet)’ option.

Then, select ‘HTML Snippet’ as the code type.

Now, simply add the following custom code into the ‘Code Preview’ box:

<div class="wpcode-trust-badge" style="text-align: center;">
	<img src="/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/trust-badge.png" width="100" alt="Trusted" />
</div>

Once you do that, make sure to add the URL of your trust badge image from the media library. If you’re not sure where to find it, then please see our guide on how to get the URL of images you upload in WordPress.

Then, scroll down to the ‘Insertion’ section and choose the ‘Auto Insert’ mode.

After that, you need to expand the ‘Location’ section and switch to the ‘eCommerce’ tab.

Next, scroll down to the ‘Easy Digital Downloads’ section and select the ‘After the Checkout Cart’ option. Now, your trust badges will automatically be added to your EDD checkout page.

If you’re using the free version of WPCode, then you’ll need to copy the WPCode shortcode and paste it into your checkout page. For details, see our guide on how to add shortcodes in WordPress.

Go ahead and toggle the ‘Inactive’ switch to ‘Active’ from the top.

Then, click the ‘Save Snippet’ button to store your settings.

Now, visit the checkout page in your digital downloads store.

Here, you will notice that the trust badges are showing in your chosen location.

Bonus Tips for Using Social Proof in Your Online Store

Using random icons on your checkout page won’t automatically boost conversions. Instead, you need the right trust signals in the right places.

Here are a few tips to get the most out of social proof in your WordPress store:

• 🎨Match the Badges to Your Store’s Design: Trust badges should stand out just enough to grab attention without clashing with your design. Avoid oversized, pixelated, or mismatched badges that make your checkout page look cluttered.
• 🔥Test and See What Works Best: Not all badges work the same for every store. Try different placements, designs, and messaging to see what resonates with your customers. A/B testing can help you find the perfect combination.
• ⭐Show more social proof with customer reviews. Showing positive reviews from happy customers can also convince shoppers to complete their purchases. For details, see our guide on how to show Google, Facebook, and Yelp reviews in WordPress.
• 💰Show real-time purchase notifications. Showing users that other customers are buying your products can convince them to do the same. Learn how to do this in our guide on how to create a live sale notification in WooCommerce.
