Why Use BlooTrue for Facebook on Elementor?

The free way to put Facebook reviews on an Elementor page — Facebook has no embed, and add-on packs skip Facebook.

Fills Facebook's Missing Embed

Facebook doesn't publish an official embed widget for merchants. BlooTrue is the free, drag-and-paste alternative — pulls reviews from your public Facebook page automatically.

Free Elementor Is Enough

The HTML widget ships with free Elementor — no Pro license, no add-on widget pack, no third-party Elementor extension to buy.

Live Preview While You Build

The HTML widget renders the embed inside the editor canvas, so you design around your real Facebook reviews instead of a gray placeholder.

No Facebook API Key Required

Works with any public Facebook Page. No Facebook Fusion application, no API quotas, no business-level claim required.

What makes a Facebook widget different from a Google review widget?

Facebook's recommendation system works differently from star-based platforms like Google. Knowing how recommendations become stars, and how Page moderation works, avoids surprises after you embed.

How BlooTrue turns Facebook recommendations into star ratings

Facebook retired numeric star ratings in 2018. Instead, visitors tap Recommends or Doesn't recommend and write a short comment, and the Page shows a percentage of people who recommend it. BlooTrue normalizes that into the star format your other widgets use: each “Recommends” renders as a 5-star review, each “Doesn't recommend” as 1 star, and the Page's overall recommendation percentage becomes a clean 0–5 star header rating. The result is a Facebook widget that looks and reads exactly like your Google or Yelp widget — no confusing percentages on your site. The header rating always comes from Facebook's own published aggregate, never from averaging the individual cards.

Where the recommendations come from and how often they refresh

BlooTrue fetches the publicly-visible recommendations from your Facebook Page on a server-side schedule — roughly once every 24 hours on paid plans — and caches the result. Your site never calls Facebook directly, so visitor traffic to your page doesn't depend on Facebook being reachable, and the widget loads instantly from cache. Only recommendations that are public on your Page are included; anything set to private or hidden by the Page owner is never pulled. Each recommendation keeps its reviewer name, photo, and comment, and links back to your Facebook Page.

Turning on recommendations and what shows up in the widget

Recommendations only appear if your Page has the Reviews / Recommendations section enabled and public. If your Page is brand new or has recommendations switched off, there's nothing for the widget to import yet — turn the section on in your Page settings and the widget will populate as soon as your first public recommendation lands. Once enabled, the widget shows whatever your Page shows publicly: no more, no less. If a recommendation disappears from your widget after a sync, it almost always means the reviewer deleted it or Facebook removed it — the widget simply follows your Page's public state.

Moderation, Community Standards, and attribution

Facebook moderates recommendations under its Community Standards and removes spam, hate speech, and content that violates its policies. Because BlooTrue reads only your Page's public recommendations, the widget automatically reflects those removals on the next sync — you never display content Facebook has already taken down. Every card keeps the Facebook mark and the reviewer's name, and clicking a review links back to your Facebook Page, so attribution stays intact. BlooTrue never fabricates a rating: an empty “Recommends” with no comment is still shown as a real recommendation, and the header number is always Facebook's own aggregate.

Facebook tips for Elementor

Use Elementor's HTML widget, not the Text Editor widget — some setups strip script tags from Text Editor content.
The Facebook widget preview renders live inside the Elementor editor, so you can fine-tune section spacing before publishing.
Theme Builder users can drop the widget into a global footer template once and show Facebook recommendations site-wide.

How Do I Install BlooTrue Facebook in Elementor?

Takes less than a minute with the built-in HTML widget — free Elementor included.

Open the Page with Edit with Elementor

In your WordPress admin, open the page where you want Facebook reviews and click Edit with Elementor.

Pages, posts, landing pages — and, with Pro, popups and Theme Builder templates — all work.

Drag the HTML Widget into a Section

In the widget panel on the left, search for "HTML" and drag the HTML widget into the section where the Facebook reviews should render.

Avoid the Text Editor widget — it strips <script> tags on some setups and the embed silently disappears.

Paste the Facebook Embed Code

Paste the BlooTrue Facebook embed code into the HTML Code field. The live preview updates inside the editor canvas, so you can fine-tune the section around your real reviews.

Publish

Click Publish (or Update). Your Facebook reviews are live — on free Elementor, with no API key, at $0.

Reviews auto-sync from Facebook every 24 hours. Pro tip: a Theme Builder footer placement shows your reviews on every page.

Facebook Review Widget for Elementor — Free, Works on Free Elementor

BlooTrue's Facebook Review Widget for Elementor is a free embed that displays your Facebook reviews on any page built with Elementor. Facebook does not publish an official embed widget for merchants — its Fusion API is a partner-channel product used by apps like Apple Maps and Trivago — and Elementor add-on packs rarely cover Facebook at all. BlooTrue closes that gap with a single snippet pasted into Elementor's built-in HTML widget: search "HTML" in the widget panel, drag the widget into the section you want, paste the code, and watch the live preview render your real Facebook reviews inside the editor canvas. The HTML widget is part of free Elementor, so no Pro license is needed. Avoid the Text Editor widget — it strips script tags on some setups and the embed silently disappears. Pro users can place the same snippet inside Elementor popups and Theme Builder footers for sitewide placement. No Facebook API key, no Fusion application, no business claim required — any public Facebook profile works. 100+ widget styles, light and dark themes. On paid plans, schema.org Review + AggregateRating JSON-LD is added to the page, which makes it eligible for star ratings in Google search results where the embed runs inline rather than inside an iframe.

Why doesn't Facebook have an official embed?

Facebook's Fusion API is positioned as a partner-channel product rather than a merchant self-service product. Facebook does not publish a paste-ready embed widget the way Google publishes Place Cards. For Elementor builders, third-party widgets like BlooTrue are the canonical way to surface Facebook reviews — and the built-in HTML widget makes the install a drag-and-paste job.

About Facebook reviews in this widget

The Facebook widget embeds the recommendations left on your Facebook Page. Facebook retired star ratings for Pages in 2018, so there is no native Facebook star average; the widget shows each Recommends as a 5-star card and turns the Page's overall recommendation percentage into a 0 to 5 star figure for the header, both read from your Page. A customer leaves a recommendation by tapping Recommends or Doesn't recommend and writing a comment, which only works once Reviews are switched on in your Page settings. Many owners reach for Facebook's Page Plugin instead, an iframe of your timeline with no way to feature recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Facebook only lets people click Recommends, so what rating does my widget display?

Facebook dropped numeric stars for Pages in 2018, so the widget does not invent a Facebook star average. Each Recommends becomes a 5-star card, and the header converts the Page's overall recommendation percentage into a 0 to 5 star figure. Both come from your Page, not from a calculation over the cards on your site.

Can I use Facebook's own Page Plugin to embed my recommendations?

No. The Page Plugin drops your whole Page timeline into an iframe and has no setting to show only recommendations, and Facebook's own tools cannot place them on an external site at all. The BlooTrue builder takes your Page URL instead and gives you a one-line embed, with no Facebook ad spend and no plugin required.

My Page has no Reviews tab, so where would the recommendations come from?

They only exist once you turn them on: open your Facebook Page settings, find the Reviews or Recommendations option and switch it on. Until then customers cannot tap Recommends and the builder finds nothing to import. A free widget holds the recommendations found that day; paid plans check the Page daily and drop the BlooTrue badge.

Does the Facebook review widget work with free Elementor?

Yes. The HTML widget that hosts the embed ships with free Elementor — no Pro license, no add-on pack, no third-party extension. Search "HTML" in the widget panel, drag it into a section, and paste.

Does Facebook offer its own Elementor widget?

No. Facebook does not provide an official embed widget for businesses — its Fusion API is gated for partner apps, not merchant self-embeds. Elementor add-on packs rarely include Facebook. BlooTrue is the free path.

Do I need a Facebook API key or Facebook Fusion access?

No. BlooTrue works with any public Facebook Page — no Facebook API key, no Facebook Fusion application, no business-level claim required.

Why does my Facebook embed not show up in Elementor?

Usually because it was pasted into the Text Editor widget, which strips <script> tags on some setups. Move the snippet into the HTML widget (search "HTML" in the widget panel) and it will render reliably.

Can I put Facebook reviews in an Elementor popup or footer?

Yes. The embed works inside Elementor popups and in footers built with Theme Builder (both Pro features). A footer placement shows your Facebook reviews on every page of the site.

Is the BlooTrue Facebook widget free for Elementor?

Yes. Completely free — no recurring fee, unlimited views. The free plan shows your Facebook reviews with BlooTrue branding in the footer.

Will the widget slow down my Elementor site?

No. The widget loads asynchronously after your page content. The script is under 20KB and reviews are served from a CDN cache. Typical impact on Largest Contentful Paint is under 50ms.
