Google Plus - Creating a Badge

---

In this chapter, let’s discuss how you can create a badge in Google+.

Step 1 − Log in to Google+ account.

Step 2 − Open developers.google.com.

Step 3 − Enter the required fields. Google+ offers options of adjusting the width (180-450 pixels), the layout (portrait or landscape), the theme (dark or light), cover photo, tagline, etc.

Step 4 − Once done with the editing process, we will receive a code. Copy the full code.

Step 5 − Go to the WordPress dashboard and select appearance → widgets.

Step 6 − Add the text widget to the sidebar where we want the ‘follow’ option to appear.

Step 7 − Paste the copied code to the widget field. Now, automatically the badge starts appearing on the page.
