Settings reference

Each testimonial has the following settings:

Image

Select or upload an image, used as the profile picture for the person being quoted in the testimonial.

Testimonial

Add the quote text for the testimonial. This is a rich text box, so you can make parts of the text bold or italic. You can also add links to it.

Author

Add the name of the person being quoted.

Settings reference

On mobile devices, testimonials sections can be displayed as carousels that scroll from left to right.

To make your testimonials sections display as a carousel, just make sure that each testimonial has an Image added to it.

If some testimonial blocks don't have an image, then each testimonial is displayed vertically, from top to bottom.
