Add your Google reviews to a WordPress website

WordPress: in a page

With our plugin (recommended)

1. In WordPress, go to Plugins → Add Plugin, search for “Truewidgets”, then install and activate Truewidgets – Google Reviews Widget.
2. Go to Settings → Truewidgets, paste your Widget ID, and click Save Changes. You’ll find the ID in Truewidgets, under Show your reviews.
3. Open the page where the reviews should go, add the Truewidgets Reviews block (or the shortcode [truewidgets]), and click Save (Publish, if the page is new).

Without the plugin

1. Open the page, and click + (the Block Inserter) where the reviews should go.
2. Choose Custom HTML, click Edit HTML, paste your Truewidgets code, and click Update. (If the block shows a box to type in instead, paste the code straight into it.)
3. Save the page: click Save (Publish, if the page is new).

WordPress needs no paid plan for this. On WordPress.com, code needs a paid plan (Personal or higher) with hosting features switched on: on free sites the code is removed when saved. Only Administrators and Editors can save code in a Custom HTML block: for other roles, WordPress strips the script out.

WordPress: on every page (floating badge)

First, in Truewidgets, choose the Floating badge layout for a widget in “Change how it looks”, then copy its Widget ID (for our plugin) or its code (without the plugin) from “Get the code”.

With our plugin (version 1.3.0 or later)

1. In WordPress, go to Settings → Truewidgets → Floating badge on every page, and paste the badge’s Widget ID.
2. Tick Show it on every page, and click Save Changes.

Without the plugin, on a block theme

1. Go to Appearance → Editor → Patterns → Template parts → Footer.
2. Add a Custom HTML block, click Edit HTML, paste your floating badge’s code, and click Update.
3. Click Save.

Without the plugin, on a classic theme

1. Go to Appearance → Widgets.
2. In a footer area, add a Custom HTML block, click Edit HTML, paste your floating badge’s code, and click Update.
3. Click Update at the top of the screen to save the footer.
