How Do I Use the Feedspace Shortcode in WordPress?

Overview

The Feedspace WordPress plugin includes a shortcode,

, that lets you embed your configured testimonial widget anywhere shortcodes are supported. That includes posts, pages, sidebar widgets, Elementor shortcode elements, Divi code modules, and any other area in your theme that accepts shortcodes.

The shortcode always renders the widget whose ID is saved in the Feedspace plugin settings. There is no need to pass any extra parameters into the shortcode itself.

Before You Start

Make sure the Feedspace plugin is installed and activated on your WordPress site and that your Widget ID is already saved in the plugin settings. If you have not done this yet, follow the guide on how to use the WordPress Feedspace plugin first.

Step 1: Set Your Widget ID in the Plugin Settings

1. In your WordPress admin panel, go to Feedspace in the left sidebar.
2. Paste your Widget ID into the Widget ID field. You can find your Widget ID in your Feedspace dashboard under the widget embed code (look for the data-id value).
3. Click Save Settings.

Step 2: Copy the Shortcode

The shortcode you need is:

You can copy it directly from the Feedspace plugin settings page or type it manually.

Step 3: Paste the Shortcode into a Post or Page

1. Open or create the post or page where you want the widget to appear.
2. In the block editor, add a Shortcode block (search for “Shortcode” in the block inserter).
3. Paste
   into the shortcode block.
4. Click Save or Publish.

The widget loads automatically when a visitor opens the page. No additional configuration is needed after saving.

Using the Shortcode in a Sidebar Widget

1. Go to Appearance then Widgets in your WordPress admin panel.
2. Add a Shortcode widget to the sidebar or footer area of your choice.
3. Paste
   into the widget field.
4. Click Save.

Using the Shortcode in Elementor or Divi

The shortcode works in any page builder that supports shortcode rendering:

• Elementor: add a Shortcode element to your page layout, then paste
  into the shortcode field.
• Divi: add a Code module to your section or row, then paste
  into the code field.

Showing a Different Widget on a Specific Page

The shortcode always uses the Widget ID saved in the Feedspace plugin settings. It does not accept a widget ID as an inline parameter. To display a different widget on a specific page, update the Widget ID in the plugin settings before adding the shortcode to that page, then save the settings and publish the page.

If you need multiple different widgets on different pages at the same time, consider using the Feedspace Gutenberg block instead, which lets you set a Widget ID per block directly in the editor.

Tips

• You can place the shortcode as many times as you like across different posts and pages. All instances will render the same widget, whichever ID is currently saved in the plugin settings.
• Always save your Widget ID in the plugin settings before adding the shortcode to any page, otherwise the widget will not render correctly.
• Preview the page after publishing to confirm the widget loads as expected.
