# How to show testimonials in batches with a "Load More" button

Show a set number of testimonials first and let visitors load more with a button, on your grid widget or your Wall of Fame page. Also explains why a carousel can show fewer testimonials than expected.

If you have lots of testimonials, showing them all at once makes the page long. Pagination shows the first few, say 10, with a **Load More** button that reveals the next batch. It works on the grid widget and on the Wall of Fame page.

Pagination needs a paid plan.

## On your testimonial widget

1. Open your wall and click **Testimonial Widget**.
2. Open the **Widget Settings** panel and find **Pagination option**.
3. Turn on **Enable Pagination on Grid Embeds**.
4. Set the **Number of testimonials to paginate**, for example 9 for three full rows of three.
5. Optionally change the **"Load More" Button Text** and the button, text and border colours.
6. Click **Save Widget Changes**.

## On your Wall of Fame page

1. Open your wall and click **Wall of Fame Page**.
2. Open the **Wall Display Settings** panel and find **Pagination option**.
3. Turn on **Enable pagination on the Wall of Fame page**.
4. Set the **Number of testimonials to show before Load More**, and optionally the button text and colours.
5. Click **Save Wall of Fame Changes**.

Without pagination, the Wall of Fame page loads every testimonial at once.

## Carousels and dual sliders show only the first batch

The widget setting is called "Grid Embeds", but it also applies to carousel and dual slider widgets. They don't have a **Load More** button, so they only ever show the first batch. If your carousel shows exactly 10 testimonials when you have more, this is why. Raise the number, or turn pagination off, and save.

## Good to know

* The **Load More** button is small and its text is shown in capital letters. Keep the text short, like "More" or "Show more".
* The number of testimonials needs a value. Leaving the box empty stops your changes from saving.
* When visitors pick a category, the batches restart from that category's first testimonials.
