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

Last updated on September 18, 2026

Overview

The Vertical Scroll widget moves columns of review cards up and down your page. One long review can stretch a card far beyond its neighbours, which leaves the whole row looking uneven and pushes the shorter reviews out of sight.

Shorten Long Reviews in the Widget Content Customization section cuts each review after a few lines and adds a “read more” link. Its description in the app reads “Enable to show ‘read more’ after few lines of review text. Best to adjust more reviews in less space.”
