Polaroid Grid
Display testimonials in a stylish Polaroid-style photo grid layout.
The Polaroid Grid styles each testimonial like an instant photo print — reviewer image front and center, with the quote and details below — for a warm, personal, photo-first wall of testimonials.
When to use it
- Photo-heavy testimonials where the reviewer's face is the star.
- Brands with a friendly, personal or handmade feel.
- Event, community or portfolio pages.
How to add it
- Click the + block inserter and search for Polaroid Grid.
- Open Query Builder to choose which testimonials appear.
- Add reviewer images for the best effect.
Layouts
The Polaroid Grid's Layouts panel is the same single settings list as the Grid:
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Select Card Style | One of six card designs — the Polaroid frame styling is layered on top on the front end. |
| Columns | Columns per device (1–20), default 3 / 2 / 1. |
| Column Gap / Row Gap | Space between prints and rows, default 24 / 16 / 12 px. |
| Ajax Pagination | Load more testimonials a page at a time, without reloading the page — attaches the Ajax Pagination child block. |
| Review Summary / Live Frontend Filter / Ajax Testimonial Search | The grid-family add-ons; turning one on wraps the block in a Testimonial Group. |
There's no tilt or rotation control — the pinboard look (the alternating lean of each print) is applied automatically.
Query Builder
This panel decides which testimonials the wall shows. Pull the latest ones, one or more groups, a hand-picked set, or only high star ratings — then set the display limit and the order (or shuffle randomly). See the full breakdown in the Carousel reference.
Card Content
This panel controls the testimonial card itself: toggle and drag-to-reorder the parts on it (photo, title, text, rating, name and more), set the alignment and a hover effect, and style the card's background, border, shadow, corners and padding. See the full breakdown in the Carousel reference.
Testimonial Content
This panel shapes the title and the quote — heading tag, full or trimmed length with a Read More action (expand, popup or link), optional quote symbols, plus typography and colors for both. See the full breakdown in the Carousel reference.
Star Rating
This panel styles the rating on each card: pick from 16 icon styles (stars, hearts, thumbs and more), set the size and spacing, and choose the filled and empty colors. See the full breakdown in the Carousel reference.
Reviewer Image
This panel controls the reviewer photo — and for a Polaroid it's the star of the show: the aspect ratio and size shape the "print", and the fallback avatar keeps testimonials without a photo in the frame. Retina loading and click-to-play video testimonials live here too. See the full breakdown in the Carousel reference.
Reviewer Details
This panel handles the who-said-it line — the name's heading tag, a verified badge, how company info, location and date are displayed, and typography for each part. See the full breakdown in the Carousel reference.
Social Media
Shown when the Social Profiles card part is on, this panel sizes and styles the reviewer's social icons — icon size, clickable area, gap and colors. See the full breakdown in the Carousel reference.
Motion Effects
This panel adds movement as the block scrolls into view — an entrance animation (fade, slide, zoom, bounce) and an optional scrolling effect, per device. See the full breakdown in the Carousel reference.
Advanced Settings
This panel covers the whole block: a background with padding and margin, per-device visibility (show or hide the block on desktops, tablets or mobile devices), and custom CSS class and ID fields for your own styling. See the full breakdown in the Carousel reference.
Tips
- Set a 1:1 or 4:3 aspect ratio in Reviewer Image for a true photo look.
- Choose a fallback image so testimonials without a photo still fit the frame.
- Keep quotes short so each "print" stays balanced.
