How Do I Display Castbox Reviews on My WordPress Site with Feedspace?

If you host or produce a podcast listed on Castbox, listener reviews are among the most persuasive signals you can show to potential new subscribers. A visitor landing on your WordPress site who sees real feedback from engaged listeners, praising your episodes, your guests, or your production quality, is far more likely to hit subscribe than one who sees nothing at all. Feedspace lets you pull those Castbox reviews into a polished widget and embed it anywhere on your WordPress site, turning listener praise into a visible growth tool.

Step 1: Import your Castbox reviews into Feedspace

Before you can display your Castbox listener reviews on WordPress, you need to bring them into your Feedspace account.

1. Log in to your Feedspace account.
2. Click Import in the left sidebar.
3. Paste your Castbox podcast URL into the input field. Feedspace detects the platform automatically.
4. Click Fetch Reviews, select the reviews you want to import, then click Import Review in the footer.

Step 2: Create a widget with your Castbox reviews

With your listener reviews imported, the next step is to build a display widget inside Feedspace.

1. Go to Widgets in the sidebar.
2. Click a template from the template strip, such as Carousel or Masonry, to create your widget. The editor opens automatically.
3. In the editor, select the reviews you want to include using the checkboxes on the left.
4. Switch to the Design tab to customise the colors and appearance to match your site.
5. Go to the Share tab. Under HTML/WordPress, copy the Widget ID from the WordPress plugin section for use in the next step.

Castbox listener reviews often highlight specific episodes or themes. Consider curating your widget to feature reviews that mention your most popular episodes, which helps new visitors discover your best content right away.

Step 3: Install the Feedspace WordPress plugin

The Feedspace WordPress plugin is the easiest way to embed your widget without touching any code.

1. In your WordPress admin panel, go to Plugins and click Add New.
2. Search for Feedspace and click Install Now, then Activate.

Step 4: Add the widget to your WordPress page

With the plugin installed, you can now place your Castbox listener reviews widget on any page or post.

1. Open the WordPress page or post where you want to display the reviews.
2. In the Gutenberg editor, add a Feedspace Widget block to the location where you want the reviews to appear.
3. Paste the Widget ID you copied in Step 2 into the block.
4. Click Publish or Update to save the page.

Other ways to embed your widget

If you prefer not to use the plugin, Feedspace also provides alternative embedding options:

• Shortcode: Copy the Feedspace shortcode from your widget settings and paste it into any page, post, or text widget in WordPress.
• HTML embed code: Copy the JavaScript embed snippet from Feedspace and paste it into a Custom HTML block in the Gutenberg editor.

Why display Castbox reviews on your site?

Listener reviews on Castbox represent genuine audience engagement. When podcast creators surface these reviews on their own WordPress site, they give prospective listeners an immediate sense of the show’s community, tone, and value. Rather than asking visitors to visit Castbox to read feedback, you bring the social proof directly into your own space, where you control the presentation and context. This is particularly effective on episode landing pages, Patreon sign-up pages, or any page where you are asking listeners to take the next step.
