# How to hide star ratings on your testimonial widget

There's no single switch to hide stars in a widget. Stars show whenever a testimonial has a rating, so you remove the rating from the testimonials where you don't want stars.

Stars appear on a testimonial card whenever that testimonial has a star rating. There's no widget-wide setting to hide them. To show a testimonial without stars, clear its rating.

## Remove the rating from a testimonial

1. Open your wall. **My Testimonials** opens by default.
2. Find the testimonial and click **Edit** on its card.
3. Next to the stars under **Rating**, click **Clear**.
4. Click **Save Testimonial**.

The stars disappear from that card in your widget, your Wall of Fame page and everywhere else the testimonial is shown. Repeat for each testimonial.

## Stop collecting ratings

If you don't want ratings on new testimonials, turn off **Ask for Rating** on your collection page. See [How to choose which details customers fill in](/collection-page-settings/choose-form-fields.md).

## Good to know

* The review banner's average rating counts testimonials without a rating as 5 stars. See [How the average rating banner works](/testimonial-widget-settings/review-banner-average-rating.md).
* You can change the colour of the stars instead of hiding them, with **Rating Color** in the widget's **Testimonial Card Customization** panel. That needs a paid plan.
