I have a subscription – how can I use the widgets in WordPress?
Summary:If you have a Trustindex subscription, your WordPress widgets are managed directly from your Trustindex account. You don’t need to use the “Free Widget Configurator” in the plugin — your reviews will automatically appear, and you can embed widgets via shortcode or the Trustindex plugin block.
Why you don’t need the free plugin tab
With a Trustindex subscription:
New reviews are automatically synced to your account
Widgets are managed centrally in admin.trustindex.io
The plugin’s “Free Widget Configurator” tab is not needed
This ensures your widgets always display up-to-date reviews without extra manual steps.
How to embed widgets in WordPress
There are multiple ways to add your widgets to WordPress pages or posts:
1. Using shortcode
- Save your widget inTrustindex admin
Copy the WordPress shortcode provided for that widget
Paste the shortcode into any page, post, or widget area in WordPress
2. Using the Trustindex plugin
Install and activate the Trustindex plugin in WordPress
Go to the Log in tab and connect your Trustindex account
When editing a page or post:
Insert a new content block
Search for “Trustindex”
In the Trustindex block, select the widget you want to embed
The widget will appear immediately in your page/post
You can also embed any widget by its widget ID directly in the plugin block.
