CPANEL TIPS
- Download a backup copy of the file before editing it.
- For PHP sites the shared footer is often footer.php or an include; for static HTML you may need to add it to each page.
- If your cPanel site runs WordPress, follow the WordPress guide instead so a theme update does not remove it.

FAQ
FeedbackDots for cPanel, answered.
Which file should I edit in cPanel?
Edit the file that renders the bottom of every page, usually a shared footer or layout file such as footer.php. On a static HTML site, add the script before </body> in each HTML file.
Do I need to install anything on the server?
No. FeedbackDots is a single script tag that loads in the visitor’s browser. There is nothing to install on your hosting account.
Is FeedbackDots free to try?
Yes. The Starter plan is free to try with 1 seat, 25 tickets per month, and 1 domain, and no credit card is required. Starter includes the API and MCP server with up to 1,000 requests a month, and support is through the docs. The Pro plan is $49 per month for unlimited tickets, up to 10 seats, up to 3 domains, surveys and feature requests, integrations, and email support.
What does each feedback report include?
Each report includes the visitor’s note, an annotated screenshot, the page URL, console logs, device and browser details, and a session replay recorded by the widget.
Where do reports go?
Reports appear in your FeedbackDots dashboard. If you connect Linear or Slack in project settings, each new report can also open a Linear issue and post a Slack message with a link back to the full report.
