Duke’s Qualtrics survey tool makes it easy for Duke faculty, staff and students to create surveys. Qualtrics also provides several ways to email or link to a survey -but doesn’t directly show you how to display a survey on a WordPress site – though it’s possible with a few small tricks. (Please note that if this method proves too cumbersome and/or doesn’t work for you, you can always just add a link to your survey for people to access and take).
1. First, create your Qualtrics survey and make sure you’ve activated it. Once activated, Qualtrics will provide you with an ‘Anonymous Survey Link.’ Copy that link and hold on to it.
2. Go to the Dashboard for the Duke WordPress site you want to add your Qualtrics survey to (note: you must be an administrator of the site you want to add a survey to in order to do this next step!). Click Plugins then find and activate Unfiltered MU. This plugin will allow you to add the code necessary to display your Qualtrics survey.
3. Create a new Page or Post in your Duke WordPress site. Once you’ve given the page a title, click the ‘HTML’ option for the editor.
4. Add the iframe code as seen in the image below. Substitute the URL for this survey with your URL. You might also have to change the width of your survey to accomodate your blog/site.
5. Click Update or Publish to create the page or post. You should now see your embedded Qualtrics survey on your WordPress page or post.
