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

Overview

Wistia is a professional video hosting platform built for businesses, and the customer success stories and case study videos you host there are among the most persuasive forms of social proof you can put in front of prospects. Displaying those video testimonials directly on your WordPress site keeps visitors engaged longer, builds credibility at the exact moment buyers are evaluating your product, and removes the friction of sending people away to a third-party page to watch them. With Feedspace, you can import your Wistia video testimonials, build a polished display widget, and publish it anywhere on your WordPress site in just a few steps.

What you need before you start

• A Feedspace account with your Wistia video testimonials already imported (see How to Import Videos from Wistia into Feedspace)
• A WordPress site where you have permission to install plugins and edit pages
• The Feedspace WordPress plugin installed, or access to embed a shortcode or block on your pages

Step 1: Import your Wistia video testimonials into Feedspace

Before you can display anything on WordPress, your Wistia video testimonials must be imported into Feedspace. If you have not done this yet, follow the import guide first.

1. Log in to your Feedspace account.
2. Click Import in the left sidebar.
3. Paste your Wistia video URL into the input field. Feedspace detects the platform automatically.
4. Click Import Video, select the videos you want to import, then click Import Review in the footer.

Wistia videos imported into Feedspace retain their original hosted video player, so your testimonials will play directly within the widget using Wistia’s clean, distraction-free video experience rather than a generic embed. This keeps your brand presentation consistent and gives viewers the same high-quality playback your Wistia setup is known for.

Step 2: Create a widget in Feedspace

A widget is the display container that controls how your Wistia video testimonials look on your WordPress site. You can choose from several widget styles depending on where you want to place the testimonials and how much space you have.

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 is the easiest way to 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 place your Wistia testimonials widget on any page or post using the Feedspace block or shortcode.

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.

Where to place your Wistia testimonials widget

Video testimonials perform best when placed where buying decisions are made. Consider adding your Wistia widget to these high-impact locations:

• Homepage hero or below-the-fold section: greets visitors with real customer voices immediately
• Pricing page: addresses hesitation at the moment prospects are weighing cost against value
• Product or features page: backs up your claims with proof from customers who have experienced the results
• Landing pages for campaigns: increases conversion rates by combining your offer with credible social proof
• Case studies or testimonials page: creates a dedicated destination for prospects who want to do deeper research before buying
