After you are satisfied with how the feed looks and functions, we can move to the final step, where you embed the reviews on your site.
Step 5: Embed Trustpilot Reviews on WordPress
You can use the Reviews Feed Pro plugin to embed Trustpilot reviews in 2 different ways:
- Embed Trustpilot reviews on a WordPress page

We will take a look at both methods below.
Embed Trustpilot Reviews on a WordPress Page
The Reviews Feed Pro plugin allows you to start embedding your reviews directly from the live feed editor.
You can start by selecting the Embed button in the upper right corner.

All of your WordPress web pages will be listed on the popup.
Choose the page where you want the review to appear, and then press the Add button at the bottom.
Next, you will be redirected to the selected page in the WordPress block editor.
There, add a new content block by clicking on the plus (+) icon.
Once you do so, use the search bar at the top to look for the “reviews feed” block.
Select the Reviews Feed block to finally embed your review feed.
Next, click on Update, and your reviews will be live. And that’s how easy it is to embed a Trustpilot review feed on your webpage with this plugin.
Since your reviews are live, you can open your web page and see what they look like.
Next, we will look at how to embed the reviews on your website.
Embed Trustpilot Review Widget on the WordPress Sidebar or Footer
Want to show your review’s on your site’s sidebar or footer areas? You can do so by adding a Trustpilot widget in WordPress.
Similar to the previous method, you can start this process from the live feed editor.
Go to the live feed editor and open the Reviews Feed » All Feeds menu and press the Trustpilot reviews feed.
This will bring you back to the live feed editor, where you can select the Embed button on the top.
A popup will appear with the embed options for your feed. Click on the Add to a Widget option which will let you manage the widgets on your site.
Next, click on either the Sidebar or the Footer panel based on where you want to embed your reviews.
For this example, we will select the Sidebar option.
After selecting where you want your review widget to be embedded, click on the plus (+) icon at the bottom.
Then select the Reviews Feed widget out of all the options.
You can then click on Update, and your review widget will be live on your site. Now, anyone visiting your website will be able to see your Trustpilot reviews directly on your site.
