How to Easily add Family Tree JS 2 in WordPress

Creating a family tree on your WordPress website might sound like a complex task, but with the right tools, it’s surprisingly easy. We’ll walk you through a simple way to create a beautiful, interactive family tree using Family Tree JS 2 and a lightweight WordPress plugin.

Let’s get started!

🧩 Step 1: Install the "Insert Headers and Footers" Plugin

Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
Navigate to Plugins > Add Plugin.
In the search bar, type Insert Headers and Footers.
Click Install Now, then Activate.

This plugin allows you to easily add custom code to your site’s <head> and <body> sections—perfect for loading external scripts.

⚙️ Step 2: Add FamilyTreeJS Code to Your Site

Once the plugin is activated:

Go to Settings > WP Headers and Footers in your dashboard.
In the Scripts in Header section, paste the following:

<script src="https://cdn.balkan.app/familytree2.js"></script>
<div id="tree"></div>
<style>
	html, body{
	  width: 100%;
	  height: 100%;
	  padding: 0;
	  margin:0;
	  overflow: hidden;
	  font-family: Helvetica;
	}
	#tree{
	  width:100%;
	  height:100%;
	}
</style>

This loads the Family Tree JS 2 library, adds a <div> element where your tree will appear and the CSS.

In the Scripts in Body section, add this script:

<script>
    let familyTree = new FamilyTree2(document.getElementById('tree')); 

    familyTree.addFamilyMembers([
        { 
            id: 1, 
            fatherId: 2, 
            motherId: 3,  
            spouseIds: [4], 
            siblingIds: [5, 6], 
            childIds: [7],
            name: 'Me' 
        }, 
        {id: 2, name: 'Father'},
        {id: 3, name: 'Mother'},
        {id: 4, childIds: [7], name: 'Spouse'},
        {id: 5, name: 'Sibling 1'},
        {id: 6, name: 'Sibling 2'},
        {id: 7, name: 'Child'}
    ]).draw(1);
</script>

This script initializes the tree and adds seven example family members.

💾 Step 3: Save and View Your Family Tree

Click Save at the bottom of the settings page. Now, when you visit your site, you’ll see your interactive family tree!

✅ Final Thoughts

With just a few steps, you can enhance your WordPress site with a fully interactive family tree. It’s ideal for personal blogs, genealogy projects, or even family reunion websites.
