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

Instagram posts and mentions from real customers carry powerful social proof, especially for lifestyle, fashion, food, and beauty brands. When a customer shares a photo of your product on Instagram, that authentic content builds far more trust than a written testimonial alone. By displaying your imported Instagram reviews directly on your WordPress site with Feedspace, you turn genuine social content into a compelling reason for visitors to buy, book, or subscribe.

What You Will Need

• A Feedspace account with at least one Instagram post or mention imported
• A WordPress site with the Feedspace WordPress plugin installed
• Editor or Administrator access to your WordPress dashboard

Step 1: Import Your Instagram Posts into Feedspace

Before you can display Instagram content on WordPress, you need to import your Instagram posts and caption testimonials into Feedspace.

1. Log in to your Feedspace account.
2. Navigate to Import Reviews in the left sidebar.
3. Select Instagram from the list of available platforms.
4. Follow the on-screen prompts to connect your Instagram account and import your posts and mentions.
5. Once the import completes, your Instagram content will appear in your Feedspace reviews list.

Step 2: Create a Widget in Feedspace

Once your Instagram posts are imported, create a widget to control how they display on your WordPress site.

1. In your Feedspace dashboard, go to Widgets in the left sidebar.
2. Click Create Widget and choose a display format, such as a grid, carousel, or list.
3. Under the Sources or Filter settings, select Instagram as the review source so only Instagram content appears in this widget.
4. Customise the widget appearance including colors, card layout, and the number of reviews to show.
5. Save your widget. Feedspace will generate a unique widget ID for use in the next steps.

Tip: Instagram posts with high-quality images perform especially well in grid and masonry layouts. Choose a format that lets the visual content shine to maximise engagement on your WordPress pages.

Step 3: Install the Feedspace WordPress Plugin

The Feedspace WordPress plugin lets you embed your widgets anywhere on your site using a simple shortcode or block.

1. Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard.
2. Go to Plugins and click Add New.
3. Search for Feedspace and click Install Now, then Activate.
4. Once activated, open the Feedspace plugin settings and enter your Feedspace API key to connect your account.

Step 4: Add the Instagram Widget to Your WordPress Page

With the plugin installed and connected, you can embed your Instagram widget on any page or post.

1. Open the WordPress page or post where you want to display the Instagram reviews.
2. In the Gutenberg editor, click the + icon to add a new block.
3. Search for Feedspace and select the Feedspace Widget block.
4. Choose the Instagram widget you created in Step 2 from the dropdown.
5. Click Update or Publish to save the page.

Your Instagram posts and mentions will now appear live on your WordPress page, automatically updating as you import new content in Feedspace.

Where to Place Instagram Reviews for Best Results

Consider embedding your Instagram widget in these high-impact locations on your WordPress site:

• Homepage: A grid of Instagram posts near the hero section immediately signals an active, engaged community.
• Product pages: Customer Instagram mentions shown alongside product details reinforce purchase confidence.
• About page: Real social posts from customers give your brand story authenticity and relatability.
• Landing pages: Instagram social proof near your call-to-action can significantly improve conversion rates.
