Troubleshooting
Widget not showing?
- Verify your Workspace ID is correct
- Check that you have approved testimonials in your dashboard
- Clear any caching plugins (WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, etc.)
- Check browser console for JavaScript errors
Styling conflicts?
- ProofLayer widgets are scoped to avoid conflicts
- If your theme overrides styles, try adding the widget to a full-width section
- Contact support if you need custom CSS adjustments
Performance concerns?
- The widget script is only 8KB gzipped
- Testimonials are loaded asynchronously
- No impact on your Core Web Vitals
