How Do I Shorten Long Reviews on My Carousel Widget in Feedspace?

Last updated on June 12, 2026

Overview

The Carousel widget displays your reviews as individual cards that slide horizontally, showing one or a few cards at a time before looping back to the beginning. Because the widget cycles through cards in a fixed viewport, a review with several long paragraphs of text can stretch a card vertically, break the visual rhythm of the carousel, and push star ratings and reviewer details far down the card where visitors may not notice them.

The Shorten Long Reviews toggle, found in the Widget Content Customization section of the Design tab, solves this by truncating lengthy review text after a few lines and appending a read more link. Every card in the carousel stays a consistent, readable height, the sliding animation feels polished and uniform, and visitors who want the full text can expand it with a single click. Enabling this option is especially useful when your Carousel contains reviews imported from multiple sources that vary widely in length.

How to Shorten Long Reviews for Your Carousel Widget

Step 1: Open the Widgets Section

Log in to your Feedspace account. In the left sidebar, click Widgets to open the Widgets listing page, where all your saved widgets are displayed.

Step 2: Edit Your Carousel Widget

Find the Carousel widget you want to update. Click the Edit button (or the pencil icon) next to that widget to open the widget editor.

Step 3: Go to the Design Tab

Inside the widget editor, locate the tab bar at the top of the settings panel. Click the Design tab to switch from the Content settings to the Design settings for your Carousel 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 all the toggles that control which content elements appear on each review card in the carousel.

Step 5: Enable the Shorten Long Reviews Toggle

Inside the Widget Content Customization section, locate the Shorten Long Reviews toggle. Click the toggle to turn it on. When enabled, review text that exceeds a set number of lines will be truncated in the carousel card, and a read more link will appear so visitors can expand the full review text inline. Click Save to apply the change to your widget.

What You Can Do Next

  • Adjust other content toggles in the Widget Content Customization section, such as showing or hiding star ratings, to further refine how each carousel card looks.
  • Preview your Carousel widget after saving to confirm that all cards display at a consistent height and the read more link appears on longer reviews.
  • Copy the updated embed code or widget link from the widget editor and replace any existing placements on your website or landing pages.
  • Explore the Design tab for additional carousel customization options, such as card background color, font style, and the number of cards visible at one time.
