# How to add Orka to Ghost. 

 Let readers ask the person behind the publication.

 A small snippet in your site’s head. A direct line to the humans behind your project.

 ● YOUR GHOST SITE Hi! Can you help me get started? 

 [Before you start](#before)[Installation](#installation-steps)[Check it works](#check)[Questions](#faq)

## A quick check before you start.

 A Ghost setup with Code Injection available and an administrator who can change those settings.

 WHERE YOU WILL ADD IT Settings → Advanced → Code Injection → Site Header 

 ONE PROJECT. ONE SNIPPET. 

## Bring your site aboard.

 01 

### Copy the right project’s snippet

 Open [your Orka dashboard](http://dashboard.orka.chat/), then Settings → your project → Installation. Under How to embed, click Copy Code. If this is a new website, create its project first so incoming messages have the right context.

 02 

### Open Code Injection

 In Ghost admin, go to Settings → Advanced → Code Injection.

 03 

### Paste into Site Header

 Add your complete Orka snippet in Site Header for site-wide coverage. Leave existing scripts and styles in place.

 04 

### Save and open the publication

 Save, visit your public homepage and open an article to verify the widget on both.

 THE INSTALLATION SNIPPET Copy example 

```html
<script type="text/javascript">window.ORKA_APP_ID="YOUR_PROJECT_ID";(function(){d=document;s=d.createElement("script");s.src="//widget.orka.chat/app.js";s.async=1;d.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(s);})();</script>
```

 YOUR_PROJECT_ID is a placeholder. Copy the complete snippet from your own project’s Installation screen. This example contains no customer’s project ID.

### The Ghost detail that matters.

 Ghost also has per-post code injection. Use the global Site Header for chat across the publication. A custom theme must output Ghost’s head helper for header injections to appear. When you switch themes, include the chat in your post-launch checks.

 Ghost(Pro) feature availability depends on your plan. Confirm that your admin exposes Code Injection before choosing this route; a single post’s code field is not a substitute for a site-wide setup.

 THE FIRST HELLO IS YOUR TEST 

## Installed is good. Working is better.

 Use a real published page and a test visitor. You are checking the complete journey, from the widget to the right project in your inbox.

 Open it like a customer. Visit the published site on desktop and mobile. Open the widget and check that it does not cover a key control. Send a recognizable test message. Use something like “Installation test — Ghost”. Check it arrives in the project you intended. Answer from the shared inbox. Reply once and confirm the answer reaches the visitor. Then visit another site page and check again. Set the welcome before inviting people in. Review your colors, availability, reply expectations and help articles. Choose AI behavior separately. 

## One more project? Same open tab.

 Repeat with the next project’s snippet. SaaS, app, shop or publication: the conversations can all come to one inbox.

 YOUR BEARINGS, BEFORE YOU DIVE IN 

## Your Ghost installation questions.

 Still wondering about something? [Ask a human at Orka ↗](mailto:hello@orka.chat)

 Where do I find my Orka snippet? + Log in to the Orka dashboard, open Settings, select the project for this website and choose Installation. Click Copy Code in How to embed. Use that project’s full snippet, not the placeholder shown in this guide.

 What do I need on Ghost? + A Ghost setup with Code Injection available and an administrator who can change those settings. Ghost(Pro) feature availability depends on your plan. Confirm that your admin exposes Code Injection before choosing this route; a single post’s code field is not a substitute for a site-wide setup.

 Do I add it to every page? + Use the site-wide header or the shared layout so the script is included wherever you want chat. Add it once, not through both a plugin and a theme. Test the homepage and an inner page.

 Does every website need a different project ID? + Use a separate Orka project for each distinct product or store whose context you want to keep separate. Copy its own snippet. The conversations can still appear together in your shared inbox.

 Why is the widget missing? + Check the published site, confirm the project ID and complete script are present, and look for duplicate installations. Review your platform’s plan restrictions, cache, consent settings and browser extensions. If it still fails, send Orka the public page URL and the error you see.

 Does installing the snippet enable AI automatically? + Installing the widget is separate from choosing your knowledge and AI behavior. Configure the project, review its answers and decide whether you want human replies, AI drafts or automatic replies. AI usage is separate from the team plan.
