How to embed testimonials on WordPress.
Collect customer quotes, approve them in EmbedProof, and add them to your WordPress site with an embed script.
Add approved customer quotes to a WordPress page with a script tag. Collect and moderate the testimonials in EmbedProof, then place the widget in a Custom HTML block or another area that permits scripts. Your WordPress hosting plan and user permissions must allow custom JavaScript.
This guide walks you through installing the EmbedProof widget on WordPress step by step. Start with an approved testimonial you have permission to publish, and confirm your site permits custom scripts. Free includes one widget, up to 10 testimonials, and Grid and Masonry layouts. Pro adds all five layouts.
Install steps
- 1Copy your EmbedProof widget script from the dashboard
- 2In WordPress admin, open the page or post where you want testimonials
- 3Add a Custom HTML block (block editor) or switch to Text mode (classic editor)
- 4Paste the script tag where you want the widget to appear
- 5Update or publish the page
The snippet
Here's the full script tag you'll paste into WordPress. Replace YOUR_TOKEN with the widget token from your EmbedProof dashboard:
<script async src="https://embedproof.app/api/widget/YOUR_TOKEN"></script>Works with the block editor (Gutenberg), classic editor, and Elementor HTML widget. No plugin required.
Why EmbedProof on WordPress
- Add the widget with a script tag, without a WordPress plugin
- Works with the block editor, classic editor, and Elementor
- Doesn't touch your database — your testimonials live in EmbedProof
- Loads asynchronously so the script does not block initial HTML parsing

Frequently asked questions
Does it slow down my site?
EmbedProof loads asynchronously. Like any embedded content, it adds network requests and rendering work; check your WordPress page with the widget enabled to measure the impact.
Can I customize the look?
Yes. EmbedProof ships with light and dark themes. Free includes Grid and Masonry; Pro adds List, Carousel, and Marquee. Everything is configured in the dashboard — no CSS overrides needed inside WordPress.
Do I need technical skills?
You need access to a WordPress page or embed field that permits custom scripts. Copy the snippet from your EmbedProof dashboard, publish your page, and check the result. Collecting customer feedback is a separate step; you can also add existing quotes with permission.
What does it cost?
New accounts get a 14-day Pro trial without a credit card. After the trial, Free limits apply unless you subscribe: one live widget and up to 10 testimonials.
