YouTube comments from real viewers are some of the most authentic social proof you can showcase on your WordPress site. When people leave positive comments on your product demos, course walkthroughs, or service explainer videos, those reactions reflect genuine audience engagement that is hard to replicate elsewhere. Displaying these video testimonials on your website brings that credibility front and center, helping potential customers see how your content resonates with a real audience before they ever make a decision.
What You Need Before You Start
- A Feedspace account with YouTube Comments imported
- A WordPress site where you have admin access
- The Feedspace WordPress plugin installed (covered in Step 3 below)
Step 1: Import Your YouTube Comments into Feedspace
Before you can display anything on WordPress, your YouTube Comments need to be inside Feedspace as reviews. Follow the import guide to bring them in.
- Log in to your Feedspace account.
- Navigate to Import Reviews from the sidebar.
- Select YouTube Comments as your import source.
- Follow the on-screen steps to connect your YouTube channel and pull in the comments you want to display.
- Review the imported comments and approve the ones you want to use as testimonials.

Step 2: Create a Widget in Feedspace
Once your YouTube Comments are imported, create a display widget to control how they appear on your site.
- In Feedspace, go to Share Reviews from the sidebar.
- Click Create Widget and choose a widget type:
- Wall of Love: a grid layout ideal for showcasing multiple video testimonials at once
- Carousel: a sliding layout that cycles through comments automatically
- List: a vertical feed of individual comment cards
- Filter by source and select YouTube Comments to include only your imported viewer comments in this widget.
- Customise the widget appearance: choose colors, fonts, and layout options that match your WordPress theme.
- Click Save Widget. Feedspace generates a unique embed code for it.
Step 3: Install the Feedspace WordPress Plugin
The Feedspace WordPress plugin lets you embed your widget on any page or post without touching code.
- In your WordPress admin dashboard, go to Plugins and click Add New.
- Search for Feedspace in the plugin directory.
- Click Install Now, then Activate.
- After activation, open the Feedspace plugin settings in WordPress and enter your Feedspace API key to connect your account.

Step 4: Add the Widget to Your WordPress Page
With the plugin active and your widget ready, embed your YouTube Comments reviews on any page or post.
- Open the WordPress page or post where you want to display your video testimonials.
- In the Gutenberg block editor, click the + button to add a new block.
- Search for the Feedspace block and select it.
- In the block settings panel on the right, choose the YouTube Comments widget you created in Step 2.
- Click Update or Publish to save the page.
Your YouTube Comments will now display live on your WordPress site.
Tip: Highlight Comments on Your Most Viewed Videos
YouTube viewer comments carry extra weight when they come from your highest-traffic videos, since those videos already have proven reach and audience trust. When importing, prioritise comments from videos with the most views or engagement. This way, the testimonials you display on WordPress reflect the opinions of your widest and most active audience, making your social proof even more compelling to new visitors.
