With the plugin active and your widget ready, you can place your Bluesky posts anywhere on your WordPress site.

1. Open the page or post in the WordPress block editor where you want to display the widget.
2. Add a Shortcode block or a Feedspace Widget block from the block inserter.

You can add the widget to multiple pages, such as your homepage, about page, or a dedicated social proof page, using the same shortcode.

Tip: Keep Your Bluesky Social Proof Fresh

Because Bluesky is a decentralized and fast-moving platform, new posts and mentions about your brand appear regularly. Return to the Import Reviews section in Feedspace periodically to pull in the latest posts and approve fresh content for your widget. Keeping your displayed posts up to date signals to visitors that your community is active and engaged, which strengthens your social proof over time.
