How Do I Show or Hide Star Ratings on My Cross Slider Widget in Feedspace?

Last updated on June 12, 2026

Overview

The Cross Slider widget displays your reviews in a full-focus format, where each review card takes center stage as it transitions in with a cross-directional slide animation. Because only one review is visible at a time, every element on that card carries more visual weight than in a grid or carousel layout. The Show Review Ratings toggle, found in the Widget Content Customization section, lets you decide whether star ratings appear on each full-focus card alongside the review text and reviewer information, or whether only the text and reviewer details are shown.

Turning ratings on adds instant credibility signals directly below the reviewer name on each focused card, helping visitors assess review quality at a glance. Turning ratings off creates a cleaner, text-first presentation that can work well when your reviews are long and detailed, or when visual simplicity is a priority for the page where the widget is embedded.

How to Show or Hide Star Ratings for Your Cross Slider Widget

Step 1: Open the Widgets Section

Log in to your Feedspace account and navigate to the Widgets section from the left-hand sidebar. You will see a list of all the widgets you have created.

Step 2: Edit Your Cross Slider Widget

Locate the Cross Slider widget you want to update and click the Edit button for that widget. This opens the widget editor where you can adjust all layout and content settings.

Step 3: Go to the Design Tab

Inside the widget editor, click the Design tab at the top of the settings panel. This tab contains all visual and layout customization options for your Cross Slider 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 contains toggles that control which elements appear on each review card in your Cross Slider widget.

Step 5: Toggle Show Review Ratings On or Off

Find the Show Review Ratings toggle within the Widget Content Customization section and set it to your preferred state:

  • Toggle on: Star ratings are displayed on each full-focus review card, giving visitors an immediate visual indicator of review quality as each card slides into view.
  • Toggle off: Star ratings are hidden, and each card shows only the review text and reviewer information, producing a cleaner and more text-focused presentation.

Once you have set the toggle, save your changes. The widget on your site will reflect the updated setting immediately after saving.

What You Can Do Next

  • Change the star rating color on your Cross Slider widget to match your brand palette so the rating icons blend seamlessly with each focused review card.
  • Customize other content elements in the Widget Content Customization section, such as reviewer name and profile photo visibility, to further refine what each full-focus card displays.
  • Preview the Cross Slider widget on your page after toggling ratings to confirm the card layout looks balanced with your review text length and overall page design.
  • Explore the full Design tab options for your Cross Slider widget, including transition speed and card styling, to create a cohesive look across all review cards.
