How to add reviews to WordPress

The exact steps for WordPress, in about five minutes, without a developer.

The short answer

Build a widget, copy one line of code, and paste it into a Custom HTML block. Appearance → Editor, or any page in the block editor. No developer and no theme files.

Step by step

  • Build the widget and connect your review sources

  • Choose a layout and match the colours to your site

  • Copy the embed code

  • In WordPress: Appearance → Editor, or any page in the block editor

  • Add a Custom HTML block and paste the code

  • Save and check the live page

Where to put them

A Custom HTML block inside a post or page, a sidebar widget area, or the footer for something site-wide. Page builders each have their own embed element.

Full-width sections suit carousel and grid layouts; narrow columns suit a badge.

Does WordPress have reviews built in?

No. WordPress has no built-in review system, so reviews come from an embed or a third-party tool.

If your reviews already live on Google or a marketplace, nothing built into a site builder will reach them.

If they do not appear

A caching plugin serving the old page, or a security plugin stripping the script. Clear the cache first, then check the plugin.

The WordPress troubleshooting page works through the rest in order.
