Carousel layout on one page and Tile view on another, possible?

@orlandosydneyphotographer Yes, you can do this by using different Shortcodes on different pages (or even the same page). Shortcode parameters will always override the values in the General section.

Page 1:

[reviews_rating limit=12 view=3 excerpt=180]

Page 2:

[reviews_rating theme="tile columns three center" limit=null view=null excerpt=180]

I recommend having the values in General as the baseline and then modifying this using one of the many Shortcode parameters (see the Shortcodes section) to alter this design.

Thank you for your reply and suggestion.

They both display in a carousel format with different looking layouts. I was hoping for carousel on some pages, as they take up less real-estate, and non carousel on other pages.

I’m using Avada page builder, as that may have an impact. I can send some screen shots if you like?

@orlandosydneyphotographer The “view” parameter will instigate the carousel if there’s nothing set in the General section, otherwise you’ll need to set it to “null” or “0” to clear this.

Can you try this Shortcode (or similar) on the other non-carousel page:

[reviews_rating theme="tile columns three center" limit=null view=0 excerpt=180]

I will perform some tests on my side in the coming days and release a fix if this doesn’t work for you.

Thank you again. In the General Tab -> Carousel View O bring up a dialogue box ‘Value must be greater than or equal to 1’

Nul or – allows more reviews to be viewed as expected.

Now all the other pages have lots and lots of reviews showing instead of the few, which is what I was trying to avoid.

Was looking for a solution to allow all the reviews to show all at once on the “review page”, but carousel on all the other pages to save them taking up all that page real estate.

If this is not currently an option with the Avada theme, I’ll just have to accept that’s how it is. Be nice to solve this though.

@orlandosydneyphotographer The issue will be independent of the theme – Avada doesn’t alter the plugin’s code.

For the “Carousel View”, please simply delete the number so it is empty (rather than “0” zero). It will show a wide hyphen when it’s empty.

In the Shortcode parameters, you’ll be able to either set it to empty: [reviews_rating view=""] or [reviews_rating view=null]

I did check your home page and I recommend a limit of 18 here (6 x 3 = 18) so there are 3 reviews per slide.

• Please can you share the current value in Setup | View?
• And the two Shortcodes you’re using on the home page and reviews page?

Thank you for the suggestions. I’ll come back to you soon.

Reviews page – [reviews_rating]

Home page – [reviews_rating id=”01, 02, 03, etc”]

thank you for your time

@orlandosydneyphotographer You will need to set the view to null or empty as suggested earlier. Otherwise, it will default to your General settings which has a carousel view set to a number.

Hi again,

I think I’ve followed your suggestion. I’ll go back to my question a few weeks ago. It is possible to have the Carousel layout on the home page and to then have a full tile view of the review page, is this possible?

Because now the reviews page has them all tiled, which is great, but the home page in not a carousel and it is taking up 4 screen pages of space, and on mobile even more. Which is not good.

@orlandosydneyphotographer The view parameter is the key.

Either set it to null to hide it or set a number to enable it. You’ll need a view greater than or equal to 1 and a limited great than or equal to 2.

You can view all the parameters in the Shortcodes section of the plugin’s settings.

Hi,

I followed your suggestion, its been set to Null. Hence that may be where the issue is.

Review Limit set to Null. – . Show All Reviews checked radio button.

Carousel View set to Null. – .

Thank you for you persistence in trying to resolve this.

Hi,

did you end up finding a fix to resolve this or still a work in progress?

@orlandosydneyphotographer Please refer to the Shortcodes section of the plugin’s settings. Everything relating to themes, carousels views and more will be covered here.

Specifically, In the WordPress Dashboard, go to Settings | Reviews and Rating – Google Reviews, then select the Shortcodes tab and scroll down to the Parameters in this section.

Anything included as a Shortcode parameter will override the settings in the General section there. So, you can really specific exactly what you want to see – almost every conceivable aspect of the reviews and rating will be customisable.

Thank you for your reply.

I’ve been looking there for weeks and can’t see how to have a carousel with specific reviews in the way it’s been described in this thread.

Feel free to reply with suggested short codes that does this.

Thank you for your ongoing support

@orlandosydneyphotographer I did offer some Shortcodes in an earlier post.

Here are two Shortcodes you can try for your home page and reviews page:

Home page:

[reviews_rating theme="center columns three tile" view=3 limit=12 interval=10 loop="infinite"]

Genuine Top Reviews:

[reviews_rating theme="center columns three tile" view=null limit=null]

There are plenty of more examples at the Demonstration website: Tiles | Carousel.
