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. Click Import in the left sidebar.
3. Paste your Instagram post 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.

For a detailed walkthrough of the import process, see How to Import Instagram Posts into Feedspace.

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. 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.

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

For full plugin setup instructions, see How to Use the WordPress Feedspace Plugin.

Step 4: Add the Instagram widget to your WordPress page

With the plugin installed, you can embed your Instagram 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.

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.
