A carousel where every slide jumps to a different height feels broken, even when nothing is. Content Limit By's Height option fixes every card to the same size and lets the text scroll inside it instead of stretching the slide. *For every Dynamic Device setting in one place, see the [Testimonials block guide](https://nexterwp.com/docs/add-testimonials-reviews-in-wordpress/).* [LIVE BLOCK LINK](https://nexterwp.com/nexter-blocks/listing/wordpress-testimonial-reviews/) ## Before You Start - **Edition:** Free — the Testimonials block, its three layouts and its content limit are all part of Nexter Blocks (free) and Nexter Blocks Pro.- **Block to enable:** Testimonials, switched on under **Nexter > Blocks** in your WordPress dashboard.- **Each testimonial is a row.** Add one row per person: a name, a role, the quote, and an optional photo. ## Steps - Add the **Testimonials** block and add a row for each testimonial — a name, a role, the quote, and a photo. - Choose a **Layout**: Grid, Masonry or Carousel. ![The Layout options](https://nexterwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/testi-layout.webp) - Set **Layout** to Carousel. ![The Layout options](https://nexterwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/testi-layout.webp) - Open **Columns Manager** and set **Content Limit By** to Height. ![The Content Limit By control](https://nexterwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/testi-limitby.webp) - Set **Content Height** to the size every card should share. > ***Height scrolls, it does not trim.** Measured: the content box became a fixed size with overflow: auto, not a shortened quote.* ## How It Behaves - **Every card becomes the same height**, set by Content Height, regardless of how long the quote is.- **Long quotes scroll inside the card** rather than being cut off or growing the slide — measured directly as a scrolling box.- **Nothing is hidden behind a Read More link** in this mode — the whole quote is there, just inside a scrollable area. For a trimmed quote with a Read More link instead, use [Text Limit](https://nexterwp.com/docs/limit-testimonial-reviews-carousel-by-text-in-wordpress/).- Height mode is specific to Carousel — Grid has no content-limit control and Masonry uses Excerpt Limit instead, which trims rather than scrolls. ## Limitations - A visitor has to scroll inside the card to read a long quote, which is an extra action compared to a trimmed excerpt.- Only available on Carousel.- There is no automatic sizing — pick a height that comfortably fits your shortest realistic quote. ## Troubleshooting ### My slides are still different heights Confirm **Content Limit By** is set to Height, not Default, and that **Content Height** has a value. ### The text is cut off with no way to read the rest Check the content box is actually scrollable — hover it and try scrolling. If quotes are much longer than the box, consider [Text Limit](https://nexterwp.com/docs/limit-testimonial-reviews-carousel-by-text-in-wordpress/) instead, which adds a Read More link. ## Related Docs - [Testimonials block guide](https://nexterwp.com/docs/add-testimonials-reviews-in-wordpress/)- [Carousel slider](https://nexterwp.com/docs/add-testimonial-reviews-carousel-slider-in-wordpress/)- [Limit a carousel by text](https://nexterwp.com/docs/limit-testimonial-reviews-carousel-by-text-in-wordpress/)- [Masonry layout](https://nexterwp.com/docs/show-testimonials-reviews-in-masonry-grid-layout-in-wordpress/) ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: Why do testimonial carousel slides end up different heights in WordPress?** A: Different quote lengths make each slide stretch on its own, which is why the carousel can feel uneven or broken. Nexter Blocks fixes that with Content Limit By set to Height, so every card shares the same size and the text scrolls inside the box instead of pushing the slide taller. That keeps the carousel visually stable, especially when testimonials vary a lot in length. **Q: How do I make all testimonial carousel cards the same height?** A: Set the Testimonials block to Carousel, then open Columns Manager and change Content Limit By to Height. After that, set Content Height to the size every card should share. In Nexter Blocks, this turns the content area into a fixed-height scrolling box, so long quotes stay inside the card instead of changing the slide height. **Q: What should I use if I want a fixed-height testimonial carousel instead of a trimmed quote?** A: Height mode is the right choice when you want every testimonial card to stay equal in size and still keep the full quote available inside the slide. The text scrolls rather than getting cut into an excerpt. If you want a shortened quote with a Read More link instead, use [Text Limit](https://nexterwp.com/docs/limit-testimonial-reviews-carousel-by-text-in-wordpress/). **Q: Why are my testimonial slides still different heights after setting a height limit?** A: That usually means Content Limit By is still on Default or Content Height is empty. The fixed-height behavior only kicks in when Height is selected and a value is entered for Content Height. In Nexter Blocks, those two settings work together: one switches the mode, and the other defines the actual card height. **Q: Why is my testimonial text cut off with no way to read more?** A: In Height mode, the quote should be inside a scrollable content box, not hidden behind a Read More link. If it looks cut off, hover over the card and try scrolling inside it. When quotes are much longer than the box, switching to [Text Limit](https://nexterwp.com/docs/limit-testimonial-reviews-carousel-by-text-in-wordpress/) is cleaner because it adds a Read More link instead of relying on inner scrolling. **Q: Is fixed height available for testimonial grids and masonry layouts too?** A: No. Height mode is specific to Carousel in Nexter Blocks. Grid has no content-limit control at all, and Masonry uses Excerpt Limit instead, which trims text rather than making it scroll inside a fixed box. If your goal is equal-height slides with scrolling text, Carousel is the layout that fits that use case.
