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

Overview

Coursera reviews carry unique weight in the education space because they come from verified enrolled learners who have completed course content and can speak directly to instructor expertise, curriculum quality, and real career impact. For educators, universities, and course creators, these reviews are among the most credible signals of learning outcomes available online. Displaying them on your WordPress site with Feedspace lets prospective students see authentic feedback from peers who have already experienced your course, building trust before they ever click “Enroll.”

What you need

• A Feedspace account with your Coursera reviews already imported
• A WordPress site with administrator access
• The Feedspace WordPress plugin installed and activated

Step 1: Import your Coursera reviews into Feedspace

Before you can display reviews on WordPress, you need to bring your Coursera reviews into Feedspace. If you have not done this yet, follow the Coursera import guide to pull in your learner reviews.

1. Log in to your Feedspace account.
2. Click Import in the left sidebar.
3. Paste your Coursera course 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.

Coursera reviews are tied to specific courses, so if you teach multiple courses on the platform, you can run separate imports for each one. This lets you create targeted widgets that show reviews relevant to a specific course page on your WordPress site, giving prospective learners the most relevant social proof for the course they are browsing.

Step 2: Create a widget in Feedspace

With your Coursera 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.

Step 3: Install the Feedspace WordPress plugin

The Feedspace WordPress plugin lets you embed your widget directly onto any page or post using a simple shortcode, with no manual code required.

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 activated, you can place your Coursera reviews widget on any page or post on your WordPress 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.
