How Do I Show the Review Date on My Horizontal Scroll Widget in Feedspace?

Last updated on June 12, 2026

Overview

The Horizontal Scroll widget displays your review cards in a continuously looping ticker that moves across the page, giving visitors a live, animated stream of social proof. Because the cards scroll past quickly, every piece of information on each card needs to earn its place. The Show Review Date toggle, found in the Widget Content Customization section of the Design tab, controls whether the date a review was submitted or imported appears on each card as it scrolls by.

Enabling this option adds a visible timestamp to every review card in the ticker. For visitors watching the scroll, seeing recent dates signals that your reviews are current and actively collected, not a static snapshot from years ago. This is especially valuable on the Horizontal Scroll widget because the continuous motion draws the eye, and a clearly displayed date reinforces authenticity in the moment a card passes through view.

How to Show the Review Date on Your Horizontal Scroll Widget

Step 1: Open the Widgets Section

Log in to your Feedspace account. In the left-hand navigation, click Widgets to open your list of existing widgets.

Step 2: Edit Your Horizontal Scroll Widget

Locate your Horizontal Scroll widget in the list. Click the Edit button (or the pencil icon) next to it 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 settings panel. This tab contains all visual and layout customization options for the 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 all the toggles that control which pieces of information appear on each review card in the ticker.

Step 5: Enable the Show Review Date Toggle

Find the Show Review Date toggle within the Widget Content Customization section and switch it on. Once enabled, the date each review was submitted or imported will appear on every card as it scrolls across the ticker. To hide the date, switch the toggle off.

Step 6: Save and Publish Your Changes

After enabling the toggle, click Save to apply your changes. If the widget is already embedded on your site, the live ticker will update automatically to show the review date on each scrolling card.

What You Can Do Next

  • Toggle star ratings on or off for the Horizontal Scroll ticker by visiting the same Widget Content Customization section and adjusting the Show Star Ratings option.
  • Adjust the scroll speed, direction, and card spacing of your Horizontal Scroll widget from the Design tab to match your site layout.
  • Filter which reviews appear in the ticker by going to the Content tab and selecting specific sources, ratings, or tags so only your best, most recent reviews scroll.
  • Copy the updated embed code from the widget editor and re-paste it on any page where you want the refreshed Horizontal Scroll ticker with dates to appear.
