Testimonial Carousel Pro Pro

How to set up and style the Testimonial Carousel Pro widget in Elementor.

Testimonial Carousel Pro shows customer reviews with star ratings, photos and names in a carousel, a grid or a masonry layout. It can shorten long reviews behind a Read more link and add a rating summary above the reviews. Use it on home, product and landing pages to show what customers say.

Part of: Bright Addons Pro.

Set it up

  2. In Testimonials, add an item for each review with the Testimonial text, Name, Job Title, Company, Photo and Rating (0 to 5).

  3. In Layout, choose the Layout and the Card Style, then set Alignment, Star Rating and Photo.

  4. To shorten long reviews, enter a number in Shorten After (words).

  5. In Rating Summary, turn on Show Summary and choose where the Numbers come from.

  6. For a carousel, open Carousel Settings and set Slides Visible, Autoplay, Arrows and Pagination.

Questions and answers

Does it pull reviews from Google or other sites?

No. You add each review by hand. The Source Text and Source Icon fields only label where a review came from.

Can I show half stars?

Yes. The rating field accepts steps of 0.5 and the stars fill partly to match.

Can I show my real review count in the summary?

Yes. Set Numbers to Type Your Own and enter the Average Rating and Number of Reviews.

Does the Read more link open a new page?

No. It shows the rest of the review in place and changes to Show less.
