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. Click Import in the left sidebar.
3. Paste your Reddit post or subreddit 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 in Feedspace

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

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 widget to your WordPress page

With the plugin installed, you can embed your Reddit reviews 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.

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.
