How Do I Select Reviews for My Cross Slider Widget in Feedspace?

Overview

The Cross Slider widget in Feedspace displays reviews using a bold cross-directional sliding transition where each review card takes full focus before the next one slides into place. Because every transition demands the visitor’s complete attention, the content of each selected review carries real weight. A weak or repetitive review in the sequence breaks the momentum that makes the Cross Slider so visually compelling.

The Select Reviews tab inside the Cross Slider widget editor lets you hand-pick exactly which reviews appear in that transition sequence. You can select reviews one at a time using individual checkboxes, or add all visible reviews in a single click using the Select All button. Choosing reviews with varied content, such as different reviewer names, different star ratings, and different styles of feedback, ensures that each cross-directional transition feels fresh rather than repetitive, keeping visitors engaged as the widget cycles through your testimonials.

How to Select Reviews for Your Cross Slider Widget

Step 1: Open the Cross Slider Widget Editor

Log in to your Feedspace account and navigate to the Widgets section from the main sidebar. Locate the Cross Slider widget you want to update and click on it to open the widget editor.

Step 2: Go to the Select Reviews Tab

Inside the widget editor, click the Select Reviews tab. This tab shows all the reviews available in your Feedspace account that are eligible to appear in the Cross Slider widget.

Step 3: Select Reviews Using Individual Checkboxes

Browse the list of reviews displayed in the Select Reviews tab. Each review card shows the reviewer’s name, profile photo (if available), and their review text. To add a specific review to your Cross Slider widget, click the checkbox on that review card. A checkmark confirms the review has been selected. Repeat this for each review you want to include in the transition sequence.

For the best experience with the Cross Slider’s full-focus transitions, aim to select reviews that cover a range of content. A mix of short punchy testimonials and longer detailed ones, or reviews that highlight different aspects of your product or service, gives each slide a distinct feel and makes the sequence more compelling to watch.

Step 4: Use Select All to Add All Visible Reviews at Once

If you want to include all the reviews currently shown in the list, click the Select All button at the top of the Select Reviews tab. This instantly checks every review card on screen, saving you from clicking each one individually. You can then deselect any specific reviews you do not want to include by unchecking their individual checkboxes.

Step 5: Save Your Widget

Once you are satisfied with your selection, click the Save button to apply your changes. The Cross Slider widget will now cycle through only the reviews you selected. Your live embed or published widget will update to reflect the new selection.

What You Can Do Next

• Use the search and filter options in the Select Reviews tab to narrow the list to your highest-rated reviews before selecting, so every cross-directional transition in the widget highlights your strongest social proof.
• Adjust the Cross Slider widget’s design settings, such as transition speed and card appearance, to complement the reviews you have selected and reinforce your brand style.
• Embed the Cross Slider widget on a key landing page or homepage hero section to place your boldest testimonials right where visitors first arrive.
• Return to the Select Reviews tab periodically to swap in newly collected reviews, keeping the transition sequence feeling current and preventing repeat visitors from seeing the same set of testimonials.
