What is WP React Embed?

WP React Embed is a production-ready WordPress plugin that allows you to seamlessly integrate React components into your WordPress site. Whether you're building interactive calculators, dynamic forms, or custom UI widgets, this plugin makes it effortless.

Simply upload your JSX files or paste your React code directly into the textarea editor, and the plugin generates a shortcode you can use anywhere on your site. With built-in support for React hooks, Lucide icons, theme modes, and base64 JSX protection for complex components, you have everything you need to create modern, interactive components.

Designed with developers in mind, WP React Embed includes live preview, component templates, comprehensive error handling, and universal theme compatibility—all while maintaining CSS isolation to prevent theme conflicts. All libraries (~3.7MB) are bundled locally for WordPress.org compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Basic React knowledge is recommended. You should be familiar with JSX syntax and React hooks (useState, useEffect). However, we provide 4 pre-built templates that you can customize without deep React knowledge.

Yes! Version 2.1.0 includes CSS isolation that prevents theme conflicts. Components are wrapped with proper reset styles, so they work with any WordPress theme including Astra, GeneratePress, Divi, and Elementor.

Not directly. Since JSX is transformed in the browser using Babel Standalone, you can't import from npm. However, you can use CDN alternatives (React, Lucide icons are already included). For complex projects requiring npm packages, consider building locally and embedding the compiled bundle.

Go to React Embed → All Artifacts, find your component, click "Edit", make changes in the Monaco editor, and save. The component will update everywhere you've used the shortcode—no need to re-embed!

The plugin loads React (~45KB), ReactDOM (~130KB), and Babel (~300KB) only when shortcodes are present. You can configure it to load everywhere or conditionally. Multiple components on one page share these libraries (no duplicate loading).

Only WordPress administrators can create/edit components. JSX code is sanitized before storage. However, since you're writing JavaScript that runs in browsers, only give access to trusted users. Always review code before publishing.
