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

If you work as a freelancer on Contra, the client reviews you have earned are powerful proof of your skills and reliability. Potential clients who visit your personal website want to see real feedback from people who have already hired you, but asking them to leave your site to check Contra can break their confidence. By displaying your Contra client reviews directly on your WordPress site with Feedspace, you keep visitors engaged and let your track record speak for itself, helping you win more projects across design, development, marketing, and creative roles.

Step 1: Import your Contra reviews into Feedspace

The first step is to bring your Contra client reviews into your Feedspace workspace so you can manage and display them.

1. Log in to your Feedspace account.
2. Click Import in the left sidebar.
3. Paste your Contra profile 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 Contra reviews

Once your client reviews are in Feedspace, you can build a widget to showcase them on your WordPress site.

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.

As a freelancer, consider highlighting reviews that mention specific skills or project types, such as logo design, web development, or social media strategy. Filtering your widget to show role-relevant client feedback makes it more persuasive to prospects looking for those exact services.

Step 3: Install the Feedspace WordPress plugin

The Feedspace WordPress plugin lets you add your widget to any page or post without touching 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 Contra reviews widget to your WordPress page

With the plugin installed, you can place your Contra client reviews widget anywhere on your site.

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.

What your visitors will see

Once the widget is live, visitors to your WordPress site will see your Contra client reviews displayed in the layout you chose. Each review shows the client’s name, their feedback, and the rating they left, giving prospective clients an honest view of what it is like to work with you. Because the reviews come directly from Contra, a platform known for independent contractors and commission-free freelance work, the social proof carries genuine credibility.

Common questions

Can I display only selected Contra reviews?

Yes. In the Feedspace widget builder, you can choose specific reviews to feature rather than showing all imported reviews. This lets you highlight the most relevant client feedback for each page on your site.

Will new Contra reviews appear automatically?

New reviews from Contra need to be imported into Feedspace first. Once imported, they become available in your widget settings. You can update your widget at any time to include the latest client feedback.

Do I need coding skills to add the widget to WordPress?

No. The Feedspace WordPress plugin adds a Gutenberg block that you can insert into any page using the standard block editor. No custom code is required.
