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

For musicians, podcasters, and audio creators, listener comments and feedback on SoundCloud are some of the most authentic social proof you can share. When a fan takes the time to leave a comment on your track or podcast episode, that reaction reflects genuine audience engagement. Displaying those SoundCloud reviews on your WordPress site helps visitors understand the impact your audio content has on real listeners, encouraging them to hit play, follow your work, or book you for a project. With Feedspace, you can import your SoundCloud reviews and embed them in a polished widget on any WordPress page in just a few steps.

What You Will Need

• A Feedspace account
• Your SoundCloud reviews already imported into Feedspace (see the import guide linked in the related articles)
• A WordPress site where you want to display the reviews
• The Feedspace WordPress plugin installed on your site

Step 1: Import Your SoundCloud Reviews into Feedspace

Before you can display reviews, you need to bring them into Feedspace. If you have not done this yet, follow the SoundCloud import guide to pull in your listener comments and feedback.

1. Log in to your Feedspace account.
2. Navigate to Import Reviews from the sidebar.
3. Select SoundCloud as the source platform and follow the on-screen steps to import your reviews.
4. Once the import is complete, your SoundCloud listener reviews will appear in your Feedspace review library, ready to be used in widgets.

Tip: SoundCloud comments are tied to specific timestamps on your tracks, which makes them uniquely specific and credible. When imported into Feedspace, the original comment text is preserved exactly as your listener wrote it, so the authenticity of that moment-by-moment engagement comes through on your WordPress site.

Step 2: Create a Widget in Feedspace

Now that your SoundCloud reviews are in Feedspace, you can build a widget to display them on your site.

1. In Feedspace, go to Share Reviews from the sidebar.
2. Click Create Widget and give your widget a name (for example, “SoundCloud Listener Reviews”).
3. Choose a layout style for your widget:

• Wall of Love: a grid of review cards, great for a dedicated testimonials page
• Carousel: a rotating slider, ideal for embedding within a page section
• List: a vertical stack of reviews for a clean, minimal look

1. Filter the widget to include only your SoundCloud reviews by selecting SoundCloud as the source in the widget settings.
2. Customise the appearance (colors, fonts, card style) to match your WordPress site branding.
3. Click Save to finalise the widget. Feedspace will generate a unique widget ID for use in WordPress.

Step 3: Install the Feedspace WordPress Plugin

The Feedspace WordPress plugin lets you embed any Feedspace widget on your site using a simple shortcode, without touching any code.

1. Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard.
2. Go to Plugins and click Add New.
3. Search for Feedspace in the plugin search bar.
4. Click Install Now next to the Feedspace plugin, then click Activate.
5. After activation, go to the Feedspace settings in your WordPress sidebar and connect your Feedspace account by entering your API key.

Step 4: Add the Widget to Your WordPress Page

With the plugin installed and connected, you can now embed your SoundCloud reviews widget anywhere on your WordPress site.

1. Open the WordPress page or post where you want to display the reviews.
2. In the Gutenberg block editor, click the + button to add a new block and search for Shortcode.
3. Insert the Feedspace shortcode with your widget ID. The shortcode format looks like this: [feedspace_widget id="YOUR_WIDGET_ID"].
4. You can find your widget ID in Feedspace under Share Reviews, by opening the widget you created and copying the ID shown in the embed options.
5. Click Update or Publish on the WordPress page to save.
6. Visit the page on your live site to confirm the SoundCloud reviews widget is displaying correctly.

Common Questions

Can I display reviews from multiple SoundCloud tracks in one widget?

Yes. When you import SoundCloud reviews into Feedspace, all listener comments are added to your review library regardless of which track they came from. You can include all of them in a single widget, or create separate widgets for different tracks or albums.

Will the widget update automatically when I import new SoundCloud reviews?

Yes. Once a widget is embedded on your WordPress site, it pulls live data from Feedspace. Any new SoundCloud reviews you import into Feedspace and add to the widget will appear on your site without you needing to update the shortcode.

Can I use the widget in a page builder like Elementor or Divi?

Yes. Most page builders support shortcode blocks or shortcode widgets. Add a shortcode element to your page builder layout and paste in the Feedspace shortcode to display your SoundCloud reviews widget within any page builder design.
