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

Overview

ThemeForest is the world’s leading marketplace for premium WordPress themes, templates, and code items by Envato. When buyers leave reviews on your ThemeForest product listings, those ratings represent genuine social proof from paying customers who have tested your work in real projects. Displaying those reviews directly on your own WordPress site gives potential buyers the confidence they need to choose your theme or template over competitors, without requiring them to leave your site to verify your reputation on the marketplace. Feedspace lets you import your ThemeForest reviews and embed them on any page or post using a customisable widget.

What You Need

• A Feedspace account (Professional or Business plan recommended for full widget customisation)
• Your ThemeForest reviews already imported into Feedspace (see the import guide linked in related articles)
• The Feedspace WordPress plugin installed on your site

Step 1: Import Your ThemeForest Reviews into Feedspace

Before you can display reviews, you need to bring them into Feedspace from ThemeForest.

1. Log in to your Feedspace account.
2. Navigate to Import Reviews from the sidebar.
3. Select ThemeForest from the list of available platforms.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect your ThemeForest account and pull in your buyer reviews.
5. Once the import is complete, your ThemeForest reviews will appear in your Feedspace testimonials library, including star ratings, reviewer names, and review text.

Tip: ThemeForest reviews include item-specific ratings left by verified buyers, which means every imported review carries built-in credibility. Feedspace preserves all original review content during import, so nothing is lost or altered when you bring your reviews across.

Step 2: Create a Widget in Feedspace

Next, build the display widget that will show your ThemeForest reviews on your WordPress site.

1. In Feedspace, go to Share Reviews and select Widgets.
2. Click Create Widget and choose a widget type that suits your layout. Common options include:
   • Wall of Love: a grid of review cards, ideal for a dedicated testimonials page
   • Slider: a rotating carousel, great for landing pages and homepages
   • List: a vertical stack of reviews for sidebar or footer placements
3. Filter the reviews to include only your ThemeForest testimonials if you have reviews from multiple sources.
4. Customise the widget appearance: choose colours, fonts, card styles, and whether to show star ratings and reviewer avatars.
5. Click Save to create the widget. Feedspace will generate a unique shortcode for this widget.
6. Copy the shortcode from the widget settings page. It will look similar to [feedspace id="your-widget-id"].

Step 3: Install the Feedspace WordPress Plugin

The Feedspace WordPress plugin lets you embed your widget anywhere on your site using the shortcode.

1. In your WordPress admin dashboard, go to Plugins and click Add New.
2. Search for Feedspace in the plugin directory.
3. Click Install Now next to the Feedspace plugin, then click Activate.
4. After activation, go to the Feedspace plugin settings in your WordPress admin sidebar.
5. Enter your Feedspace API key or connect your account as prompted. You can find your API key in Feedspace under Automation settings.
6. Save the plugin settings.

Step 4: Add the Widget to Your WordPress Page or Post

With the plugin active and connected, you can now place your ThemeForest reviews widget anywhere on your site.

1. Open the WordPress page or post where you want to display your ThemeForest reviews.
2. In the Gutenberg block editor, click the + icon to add a new block.
3. Search for the Shortcode block and add it to the page.
4. Paste the Feedspace widget shortcode you copied in Step 2 into the shortcode block.
5. Click Update or Publish to save the page.
6. Visit the page on the front end of your site to confirm that your ThemeForest reviews are displaying correctly.

Where to Display ThemeForest Reviews for Best Results

Choosing the right placement for your ThemeForest reviews can significantly increase buyer confidence and conversions. Consider these high-impact locations:

• Product or portfolio pages: place a review widget alongside screenshots and demos of each theme or template to give buyers social proof exactly where they are evaluating your work
• Homepage: a slider widget in a hero or testimonials section immediately signals credibility to first-time visitors
• Pricing or checkout pages: reviews placed near a call-to-action or purchase button help overcome last-minute hesitation
• Dedicated testimonials page: a Wall of Love layout gives visitors a comprehensive view of all your buyer feedback in one place

Common Questions

Will my ThemeForest reviews update automatically after the initial import?

New reviews added to ThemeForest after your initial import will not appear automatically. You can re-run the import from Feedspace at any time to pull in the latest reviews and keep your widget up to date.

Can I display reviews from multiple ThemeForest items in one widget?

Yes. If you have imported reviews from multiple ThemeForest product listings, you can include all of them in a single widget or create separate widgets for each item and embed them on the relevant product pages.

Can I filter which reviews appear in the widget?

Yes. In the Feedspace widget editor, you can filter by star rating, date, or tag to show only the reviews that best represent your product quality. For example, you might choose to display only four-star and five-star reviews on your homepage widget.
