What is different about Yelp on WordPress
Yelp is worth displaying and not worth chasing: it asks businesses not to solicit reviews at all. Show what you have and put your collection effort into Google.
Where to put the reviews in a WordPress site
Inside a post or page with a Custom HTML block, in a sidebar widget area, or site-wide through the footer.
Full-width sections suit carousel and grid layouts; narrow columns and sidebars suit a badge or a list. Floating badges can be limited to particular pages and to desktop or mobile.
When it does not show up
A caching plugin serving the old page, or a security plugin stripping the script. Clear the cache first, then check the plugin.
If the widget appears in the editor but not on the live site, the change was previewed rather than published. The WordPress troubleshooting page goes through the rest in order.
What it costs
The free plan runs on a live WordPress site — a plan, not a trial, with no expiry and no card at signup. Paid plans are priced by monthly views and widget count. Websites are unlimited on every plan.
