Sometimes reviews just need to line up. Grid gives every testimonial card the same width and lets Columns decide how many sit side by side — the most predictable of the block's three layouts. *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) - Confirm **Layout** is set to Grid. ![The Layout options](https://nexterwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/testi-layout.webp) - Set **Columns** for how many cards sit in a row. ![The Columns setting](https://nexterwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/testi-columns.webp) > ***Grid does not trim long quotes.** Measured: there is no content-limit control on this layout at all, so every card grows to fit its text.* ## How It Behaves - **Columns really controls the width.** Measured: dropping Columns from 6 to 4 widened each card from 438 to 516 pixels — it is a share of a 12-column row, not a literal card count.- **Cards can end up different heights** if the quotes are different lengths, since nothing is trimmed. For a tidier grid, keep quotes to a similar length or use [Masonry](https://nexterwp.com/docs/show-testimonials-reviews-in-masonry-grid-layout-in-wordpress/) instead.- **No avatar renders a placeholder image**, not empty space — measured.- Grid uses the same underlying layout engine as Masonry (both add the class `tpgb-isotope`), just without the packing. ## Limitations - **No content limit.** If your quotes run long, Grid is the wrong layout — use [Masonry](https://nexterwp.com/docs/show-testimonials-reviews-in-masonry-grid-layout-in-wordpress/) or [Carousel](https://nexterwp.com/docs/add-testimonial-reviews-carousel-slider-in-wordpress/).- Uneven quote lengths can make the grid look ragged, since every card is full height. ## Troubleshooting ### My cards are different heights That is the quotes, not a bug — Grid always shows the full text. Trim your quotes by hand, or switch to [Masonry](https://nexterwp.com/docs/show-testimonials-reviews-in-masonry-grid-layout-in-wordpress/). ### Only one card shows per row Raise **Columns**. The default splits the row into 6 shares, so a wide card needs a higher share count to sit beside another. ## Related Docs - [Testimonials block guide](https://nexterwp.com/docs/add-testimonials-reviews-in-wordpress/)- [Masonry layout](https://nexterwp.com/docs/show-testimonials-reviews-in-masonry-grid-layout-in-wordpress/)- [Carousel slider](https://nexterwp.com/docs/add-testimonial-reviews-carousel-slider-in-wordpress/)- [Star ratings](https://nexterwp.com/docs/show-testimonials-reviews-with-star-ratings-in-wordpress/) ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: Why do my testimonial cards have different heights in Grid layout?** A: Grid keeps every testimonial card at full height, so uneven quote lengths make the row look ragged. The page says Grid does not trim long quotes and has no content-limit control, which is why the card height follows the text instead of forcing a uniform box. If you want a tidier result, keep quotes similar in length or switch to [Masonry](https://nexterwp.com/docs/show-testimonials-reviews-in-masonry-grid-layout-in-wordpress/). **Q: How many testimonials should I add for a grid layout in WordPress?** A: Add one row per person, because each testimonial is treated as a row with a name, role, quote, and optional photo. That structure matters in Grid since Columns only decides how many cards sit side by side. Nexter Blocks, part of Nexter WP and POSIMYTH Nexter, uses the same testimonial row model across the block, so clean input makes the layout easier to control. **Q: What should I do if only one testimonial card shows per row?** A: Raise Columns. The page explains that Columns controls how many cards sit in a row, and the default splits the row into 6 shares. If a card is too wide for the current share count, it will sit alone instead of sharing space with another card. Think of Columns as width control first, not just a count setting. **Q: Is Grid or Masonry better for long testimonial quotes?** A: Masonry is the better fit when quote lengths vary a lot. Grid does not trim text and has no content limit control, so long quotes make cards grow taller and can leave the layout looking uneven. Masonry packs cards more tightly, while Grid is the most predictable option when you want equal widths and simple column control. **Q: Does the Testimonials block work without Pro?** A: The Testimonials block is part of Nexter Blocks free and Nexter Blocks Pro, and the page labels the edition as Free. It also says the block, its three layouts, and its content limit are all part of Nexter Blocks free and Nexter Blocks Pro.Block. For setup, the block must be enabled under Nexter > Blocks in your WordPress dashboard. **Q: What happens if I leave out an avatar photo in a testimonial?** A: A placeholder image renders instead of empty space. That keeps the card structure intact even when a testimonial does not have a photo, which helps Grid stay visually consistent across rows. The page also notes that Grid uses the same underlying layout engine as Masonry, with both adding the class tpgb-isotope, just without Masonry’s packing behavior.
