How to Add Reviews to Elementor (Step-by-Step, 2026)

To add reviews to Elementor, build a review widget in a review app, copy its embed code, and paste it into Elementor’s HTML widget. The reviews then update on the page as new ones come in.

Elementor’s own Reviews widget, part of Elementor Pro, only shows reviews you type in by hand. That works for a few quotes, but it never pulls in a new review.

This guide covers the full setup with screenshots, where reviews do the most work on an Elementor page, and how to fix a widget that does not show.

Ways to Add Reviews to Elementor

There are three routes, and they differ in where the reviews come from.

A review app is the only route that also asks customers for reviews, so the widget keeps filling up without extra work.

How to Add Reviews to Elementor

These steps use WiserReview. Steps 1 to 6 happen in the WiserReview dashboard, and steps 7 and 8 happen in Elementor.

Step 1: Bring Your Reviews In

1. Open the WiserReview dashboard and go to Manage Reviews.
2. Click Import Reviews.
3. Pick a source such as Google, Facebook, or a CSV file.
4. Map the columns and confirm the import.
5. Turn on review requests so new reviews arrive after each order or project.

Step 2: Open a Review Widget

1. Go to Widgets in the WiserReview dashboard.
2. Find the widget you want, such as Carousel.
3. Click Add widget, or Manage if one already exists.

Step 3: Name the Widget

1. Type a name that says where it will go, such as Homepage reviews.
2. Click Create.

Step 4: Pick Which Reviews Show

1. Open Filter Reviews in the left menu.
2. Choose a review source, or leave it on All.
3. Pick a tag so each Elementor page shows the reviews that fit it.

Step 5: Style It and Click Install

1. Work through Layouts, Cards, and Color Options to match your Elementor theme.
2. Watch the preview on the right as you change settings.
3. Click Install at the top of the page.

Step 6: Copy the Embed Code

1. Stay on the Javascript tab.
2. Click the copy icon next to the code.

Step 7: Add an HTML Widget

1. Open the page in the Elementor editor.
2. Type html in the widget search box.
3. Drag the HTML widget to the spot where the reviews should appear.

Step 8: Paste the Code and Update

1. Paste the WiserReview code into the HTML Code box.
2. Click Update, or Publish on a new page.
3. Open the live page in a private window to see the widget.

The HTML widget is part of free Elementor, so you do not need Elementor Pro for these steps.

Running WooCommerce? The WiserReview plugin for WordPress adds the product review section and star ratings to product pages without the HTML widget.

Where to Place Reviews on an Elementor Page

Reviews work best next to the decision they support. Elementor makes it easy to drop the same widget into several sections.

• Below the hero: a carousel of short reviews right after your main promise.
• Next to pricing or the main button: two or three reviews that mention value or results.
• On product and service sections: reviews filtered by tag, so each section shows its own feedback.
• On every page: paste a rating badge into a footer template built with Elementor Pro’s Theme Builder.
• On a reviews page: a full review wall, linked from the menu.

Short, specific reviews read best in a slider. Our guide to the review carousel covers layout and speed settings.

Show New Reviews as Notifications

A widget shows reviews in one section. A notification shows a fresh review in a small card wherever the visitor is on the page, such as “Maya R. left a 5-star review.”

WiserNotify pulls recent reviews from your review sources and shows them on any Elementor page with a verified label. It suits landing pages, where a full review block would compete with the main button.

Review Widget Not Showing in Elementor?

Most missing widgets come down to one of these causes.

• Cached page: clear the cache in your caching plugin and your host, then reload in a private window.
• Delayed scripts: some speed plugins delay or combine JavaScript. Exclude the WiserReview script from those settings.
• Hidden section: check the HTML widget’s Advanced tab, where Responsive settings can hide it on mobile or desktop.
• Editor preview: some embeds only load on the published page, so check the live URL rather than the editor.
• Empty filter: if the widget loads but shows nothing, widen the tag or source filter from Step 4.

Common Mistakes With Elementor Reviews

• Too many widgets on one page: one review section and one badge are enough. More slows the page and splits attention.
• The same reviews everywhere: tag reviews by product or service so each page shows feedback that matches it.
• Hand-typed reviews that never change: a static block goes stale, while a connected widget keeps adding new reviews.
• Skipping the mobile check: preview each page in Elementor’s mobile view before you publish.

Wrap Up

Elementor handles the layout, and a review app handles the reviews. Build the widget once, paste it into an HTML widget, and it keeps filling with new reviews.

Start with one widget near your main button, check it on mobile, then add more spots once it is working.
