Overview
The Avatar Group widget presents a compact cluster of reviewer profile photos alongside a star rating count and a short trust headline. Its strength is in conveying social proof at a glance, so the display area is intentionally tight. When a reviewer submits a lengthy testimonial, that full text can push the widget out of proportion, overwhelming the compact visual layout and drawing attention away from the avatar cluster and star count that make the widget effective.
The Shorten Long Reviews toggle, found in the Widget Content Customization section of the Design tab, solves this by truncating long review text after a few lines and replacing the remainder with a “read more” link. Visitors who want the full detail can click to expand the text inline. This keeps your Avatar Group widget visually balanced, loads faster on smaller screens, and ensures that the rating count and reviewer avatars remain the focal point of the social proof element.
How to Shorten Long Reviews on Your Avatar Group Widget
Step 1: Open the Widgets Section
Log in to your Feedspace account. In the left navigation menu, click Widgets to open the list of all widgets you have created.
Step 2: Edit Your Avatar Group Widget
Locate the Avatar Group widget you want to update. Click the Edit button (pencil icon) next to that widget to open the widget editor.
Step 3: Go to the Design Tab
Inside the widget editor, click the Design tab at the top of the panel. This tab contains all visual and layout configuration options for your Avatar Group widget.
Step 4: Find the Widget Content Customization Section
Scroll down within the Design tab until you reach the Widget Content Customization section. This section groups together options that control how review text and other content elements are displayed inside the widget.
Step 5: Enable the Shorten Long Reviews Toggle
Find the Shorten Long Reviews toggle and switch it on. Once enabled, any review text that exceeds a set number of lines will be automatically truncated in the widget display. A read more link will appear at the cut-off point, allowing visitors to expand the full review text if they choose. Click Save to apply the change to your widget.
What You Can Do Next
- Preview your Avatar Group widget on your page to confirm that long reviews are being truncated correctly and the “read more” link appears as expected.
- Adjust the star rating display on your Avatar Group widget by visiting the show or hide star ratings option to further refine the social proof layout.
- Explore other Widget Content Customization options in the Design tab to control reviewer name visibility, date formats, and other display details on your Avatar Group widget.
