What Is the Feedspace WordPress Plugin?

Overview

The Feedspace WordPress plugin is a free, official plugin available on WordPress.org that lets you display any Feedspace widget directly on your WordPress site. Whether you want to show a review slider, a testimonial grid, or a wall of love, the plugin handles the embedding for you, with no manual coding or JavaScript snippet required.

What the Plugin Does

Normally, embedding a Feedspace widget on a website involves copying a JavaScript snippet from the Feedspace dashboard and pasting it into your site’s HTML. The WordPress plugin removes that step entirely. Once installed, it connects your Feedspace account to WordPress using a Widget ID, then renders the widget automatically on any post or page you choose.

Widgets update in real time: as new reviews come in through your Feedspace forms or imports, they appear on your site without any changes on the WordPress side.

Key Features

• Free to install: the plugin is listed on WordPress.org and available at no extra cost.
• Gutenberg block support: add the dedicated “Feedspace Widget” block in the WordPress block editor, paste your Widget ID, and publish.
• Shortcode support: use
  in the classic editor or any theme that accepts shortcodes, so the plugin works regardless of which editor you prefer.
• Any widget type: review sliders, testimonial grids, carousels, wall of love displays, and all other Feedspace widget layouts are supported.
• Real-time display: reviews collected through Feedspace appear on your WordPress pages automatically, keeping your social proof current.
• No coding required: installation and setup follow the same process as any WordPress plugin, using the built-in Plugins dashboard.

How It Connects to Your Feedspace Account

The plugin identifies which widget to display using a Widget ID. You copy this ID from the embed code in your Feedspace dashboard (look for the data-id value in the JavaScript snippet). Each widget you have created in Feedspace has its own unique ID, so you can embed different widgets on different pages of your WordPress site.

How This Differs from Manually Adding the JavaScript Snippet

Feedspace provides a JavaScript embed snippet for sites that need to embed widgets without a plugin. On WordPress, pasting raw JavaScript into the post editor is blocked by default for security reasons, and inserting it through a theme or a custom HTML block can be unreliable across editor updates.

The WordPress plugin avoids these issues by handling the script loading in the correct way for WordPress, using a registered Gutenberg block and shortcode that are tested to work across WordPress versions. You get the same live widget output without needing to edit theme files or manage code directly.

Classic Editor and Gutenberg Compatibility

The plugin works with both the modern WordPress block editor (Gutenberg) and the classic editor. If you use Gutenberg, add the “Feedspace Widget” block from the block inserter. If you use the classic editor, insert the shortcode

into any post or page content area. Both methods produce the same result on the front end.

What You Can Do Next

• Install the Feedspace plugin from the WordPress Plugins dashboard by searching for “Feedspace”, then follow the setup steps to add your first widget.
• Read the full step-by-step setup guide to learn how to find your Widget ID and place it on a page using either the Gutenberg block or the shortcode.
• If you use Elementor, you can also embed Feedspace widgets using the Elementor widget integration instead of the block editor approach.
