How to embed Google reviews in Flatsome
Once you’ve created your Google review widget code using WiserReview, embedding it into Flatsome is straightforward:
Log in to WordPress Admin: Open your WordPress dashboard.
Navigate to Appearance > Widgets: Access your theme widget areas.
Add a Custom HTML Widget: Drag and drop the Custom HTML block into the desired widget area (e.g., footer, sidebar).
Paste the WiserReview Code: Insert the generated embed code into the HTML field.
Use Flatsome UX Builder for Placement: Alternatively, open Flatsome’s page builder and add the Custom HTML element where you want reviews to appear.
Save and Update: Publish changes and refresh your site to see reviews live.
This ensures your Google reviews display seamlessly across your Flatsome theme and are mobile-friendly.
Here are the most common mistakes Flatsome store owners should avoid:
Only displaying 5-star reviews: A mix of feedback looks more authentic than showing only perfect ratings.
Ignoring mobile responsiveness: Flatsome sites attract mobile shoppers, so non-optimized review embeds can harm user trust.
Overloading with plugins: Too many third-party plugins can slow down WordPress. Use one reliable tool like WiserReview.
