FAQ
Can I adjust the height of the Stories Widget?
The recommended method to adjust the height of the stories widget is to adjust the height of the parent HTML container of the widget.
The parent HTML container also needs the overflow property set to auto.
Do you have more resources on the different widget options and how to install them?
Yes we do. 🙏
What should I do if my widget is installed but not showing up?
Check your website caching.
NiceJob review widgets do not work well with caching plugins (which are common on WordPress sites). These plugins save a frozen snapshot of your page, which stops live widgets from dynamically loading.
Solution: Turn off or clear your caching plugin—or exclude the specific page hosting the widget from caching—to allow your NiceJob review widget to load properly.
Can I limit the reviews on the Stories widget?
The intended purpose of the stories widget is to go on a dedicated 'Reviews' or 'Testimonials' page on the site. It auto-populates from your NiceJob dashboard and allows visitors to browse through the different reviews left by customers. At this time, there is not an ideal way to limit how many stories appear at a time.
The Carousel widget is a great widget to instal inf you only want to showcase a few reviews.
Can I add photos?
Yes! To add a custom photo to an existing review:
Head over to the Stories Page in your Nicejob account.
Find the review you would like to add a photo to
Click the (...) in the bottom right hand corner of the review you would like to add a photo to.
Select edit story and upload a photo of the amazing work you do. 😎
