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

Overview

Reddit is one of the most trusted sources of organic social proof on the internet. When users in a subreddit recommend or discuss your product without any incentive, that authenticity carries enormous weight with potential customers. Unlike paid reviews or polished testimonials, Reddit posts and mentions reflect genuine community opinions, which is why displaying them on your WordPress site can significantly boost trust and conversions. With Feedspace, you can import those Reddit posts and mentions and embed them directly on your website using a customisable widget.

This article walks you through the full process: importing your Reddit content into Feedspace, creating a display widget, installing the Feedspace WordPress plugin, and adding the widget to your site.

Step 1: Import Your Reddit Posts and Mentions into Feedspace

Before you can display Reddit content on WordPress, you need to import it into your Feedspace workspace.

1. Log in to your Feedspace account.
2. Navigate to the Import Reviews section from the sidebar.
3. Select Reddit as the import source.
4. Follow the on-screen prompts to connect your Reddit content and pull in the posts and mentions you want to display.
5. Review the imported items and confirm they are saved to your Feedspace workspace.

Step 2: Create a Widget in Feedspace

Once your Reddit posts and mentions are imported, create a widget to display them on your site.

3. Filter the widget to include your imported Reddit content. You can select specific posts and mentions or include all imported Reddit items.
4. Customise the widget appearance, including colours, card style, and branding, to match your WordPress theme.
5. Save the widget. Feedspace will generate an embed code for use on your WordPress site.

2. Go to Plugins and click Add New.

Tips for Displaying Reddit Content

Reddit mentions carry a unique credibility advantage: they come from communities that are widely known for honest, unfiltered opinions. Visitors to your site are often familiar with Reddit’s reputation, so displaying these posts and mentions signals that real people, in real communities, are talking about your product without being prompted. To make the most of this, consider placing your Reddit widget on high-traffic pages such as your homepage, pricing page, or product landing pages where trust signals have the greatest impact on conversion.
