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 WordPress

The Facebook mark must remain visible inside the widget — do not override it with CSS in your WordPress theme.
If your theme uses Gutenberg, paste the embed snippet inside an HTML block (not a Shortcode block) so the Facebook recommendations load on first render.
For WooCommerce product pages, the Facebook widget works alongside Google review widgets on the same product without breaking either one.

Facebook Review Widget for WordPress — Free, No Plugin Needed

BlooTrue's Facebook Review Widget for WordPress is a free, plugin-free embed that displays your Facebook reviews on any WordPress site. It works with both Gutenberg (block editor) and the Classic Editor, requires no coding, and works with any public Facebook Page — no Facebook ad spend required. Unlimited views on every plan. Six widget styles (slider, marquee, grid, list, masonry, badge, compact badge) with light and dark themes plus a free custom color picker. 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.

Does BlooTrue work on WordPress.com?

Self-hosted WordPress (wordpress.org, the 95% case) supports the widget fully. On WordPress.com, the Business tier or higher supports custom HTML and works. The free WordPress.com plan strips script tags for security, so the widget will not render there.

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.

Is the BlooTrue Facebook widget free for WordPress?

Yes, BlooTrue is completely free for WordPress. No credit card, no plugin needed, unlimited views on every plan. The free plan shows Facebook reviews with BlooTrue branding in the footer.

Do I need Facebook ad spend to embed reviews on WordPress?

No. BlooTrue works with any public Facebook Page. You do not need Facebook ad spend or a paid Facebook tier. Just paste your facebook.com/yourpage URL into the BlooTrue builder.

Do I need a WordPress plugin to use BlooTrue?

No. BlooTrue uses a pure HTML embed that works in Gutenberg's Custom HTML block, the Classic Editor's Text tab, and the Custom HTML sidebar/footer widget. No plugin to install, configure, or update.

Will the BlooTrue Facebook widget slow down my WordPress site?

No. The widget loads asynchronously after your page content, so it never blocks rendering. The script is under 20KB and reviews are served from a CDN cache. Typical load impact is under 50ms — well within Core Web Vitals thresholds.

Does it work on WordPress.com or only self-hosted WordPress?

Self-hosted WordPress works perfectly. WordPress.com Business plan and above also allow custom HTML and work fine. The free WordPress.com plan strips script tags for security — the widget will not load there. Upgrade to a paid WordPress.com plan or migrate to self-hosted WordPress (wordpress.org) to use the widget.

Can I customize the widget to match my WordPress theme?

Yes. The widget supports light and dark themes, 8 preset accent colors plus a free custom hex picker, two card layouts (reviewer-first or review-first), and toggles for reviewer names, dates, review text, and profile images. The outer background is transparent, so it blends with any WordPress theme automatically.
