To add a testimonial slider in Divi 5, install the Divi Torque plugin, drop the Testimonial Slider module into any row, then add one slide per review with a quote, name, role, and star rating. It auto-plays, is fully responsive, and takes about five minutes — no code required.
What is a testimonial slider?
A testimonial slider is a rotating carousel that shows customer reviews one (or a few) at a time. Instead of stacking every quote down the page, it cycles through them automatically — so you fit far more social proof into a small, eye-catching space, usually near a call to action.
How do you add a testimonial slider in Divi 5?
- Install and activate Divi Torque (the Testimonial Slider module ships in Divi Torque Pro).
- Edit any page with the Divi Builder and open the section and row where you want the slider.
- Click the grey + icon, search for Testimonial Slider, and insert it.
- Add a Testimonial Slide child for each review and fill in the quote, author name, role or company, and star rating.
- Open the parent module and set the slider behavior — autoplay, arrows, dots, and how many slides show at once.
- Save. Your testimonials now rotate automatically on every device.
How do you style the testimonials?
Use the module's Design tab to control the card background, border, and shadow; the quote, name, and role typography; the portrait size and shape; and the star color. Because it's built natively in the Divi Builder, every option inherits your global colors and fonts, so the slider matches your brand with no custom CSS.
Testimonial Card vs Testimonial Slider: which should you use?
| Feature | Testimonial Card (Lite) | Testimonial Slider (Pro) |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free | Divi Torque Pro |
| Layout | Single static card | Auto-playing carousel |
| Star ratings | Yes | Yes |
| Autoplay & swipe | No | Yes |
| Best for | One highlighted quote | Many rotating reviews |
Do testimonials actually increase conversions?
Yes. Around 93% of consumers say online reviews influence their purchasing decisions, according to the BrightLocal Local Consumer Review Survey. Placing a rotating slider beside a "Buy now" or "Get a quote" button keeps that proof visible without pushing the button below the fold.
