Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Show Facebook reviews and X (Twitter) posts on your WordPress site — in a beautiful review slider or grid.

WP Review Slider helps you turn Facebook Page reviews, Facebook recommendations, and positive X (formerly Twitter) posts into on-site testimonials and social proof. Reviews are downloaded once, stored in your WordPress database, and served from your own server for fast page loads.

This plugin uses the official Facebook API and the X API v2 — not scraping or crawling. That means a more reliable, compliant way to display customer feedback on your WordPress site.

Why use WP Review Slider?

  • Display Facebook reviews and Facebook recommendations with a shortcode, widget, or template function.
  • Search and download X (Twitter) posts about your business, then show them next to your Facebook reviews.
  • Build an engaging review slider (or a responsive grid/list) without writing code.
  • Keep reviews on your server for better performance and control.
  • Create multiple review templates for different pages, posts, and sidebars.

Here’s a quick video demonstration of adding reviews in less than 2 minutes!

Facebook reviews & recommendations

Facebook switched many pages from a 1–5 star scale to Positive or Negative recommendations. WP Review Slider can save those recommendations with a rating value so you can still display them as 5-star reviews when you want.

How Facebook reviews work:

1. Connect to our Facebook app with a couple of button clicks.

2. Click Retrieve Reviews to download Facebook Page reviews and recommendations into your WordPress database.

3. Create a review template and paste the shortcode into a post, page, or widget area.

X (formerly Twitter) posts & testimonials

Search X for posts mentioning your business, download the ones you want to showcase, and display them in the same review slider / template system as your Facebook reviews.

How X (Twitter) posts work:

1. 0a keys (Consumer Key, Consumer Key Secret, Access Token, Access Token Secret). A Bearer Token can be used as a fallback.

2. Search with the X API v2 (recent search covers the last 7 days; full-archive search is available if your X access allows it).

3. Click the download icon next to posts you want to keep.

4. In template Filter settings, choose Review Type: Facebook, X (Twitter), or both — then pick a source and display them with your shortcode.

Note: X’s Free developer tier does not include post search. You need a paid X API plan (for example Pay Per Use) with Recent Search access. Spaces in search queries mean AND; use OR (example: Yellowhammer OR Huntsville ) when you want either term.
