At 6;05 you have to add a dataset, press the "+" button, Click "CMS" and select "Data Set." This is where I got lost, 8:11, i dont know where to find the area to add a lightbox. I asked ChatGPT and it told me to go to the app market, type in lightbox and it will show you a bunch of apps that you can use to indicate a pop-up when someone presses on that "Post Your Testimonial" button. If you figure it out from here, please share your steps with me! And I will do the same if I figure it out!!! :)
I don't have a data manager with my Wix. From reading reviews it looks like there have been substantial changes since this video. Has there been a revised step by step for how to set up the data connection??

Hello, I do not see the same things/selections the you are displaying on my Wix page. For instance I do not see a data button or the same list you selected? What am I doing wrong or is there a different version of Wix?

This is a really helpful tutorial! The directions need updated for the version of Wix that's current (2022) but with some digging, I was able to figure out what I needed to do. Thank you so much!

This is so amazing! I've just started up my own business and this helped me so much. Way more professional. Thank you. Keep doing what your doing. I SUBSCRIBED xxx
Can this be done using a slider to show reviews? Also when building a lightbox on a current webpage the lightbox setting (Display on all pages have to be on) for it to function on wix mobile. However, for some reason, i can't select the page I want it on since the lightbox is already built on a particular page. Please help
Thanks Michael, I have followed the tutorial, but I must have missed something, my lightbox data is not transferring to my Dataset. If I add manually to my collection, it displays on the home page.

I have followed your tutorial, however, it only posts one comment and doesn't allow for more reviews to be published, keeping all the other columns on the default text. When all columns are connected to the dataset, then one review is posted into each separate column, eliminating the old review leaving multiples of one review. This occurs despite the "items displayed" settings being on 20. Help! UPDATE: I fixed it!
Hi! Thanks for sharing! It would be nice if there was a wix app for this linked to the member profile as I would like this to be member specific allowing edits etc and available under testimonials in their profile!
for some reason the testimonials aren't appearing on the page for them despite the button and forms both being connected to the dataset, like it won't load that the repeater and the visual stuff of the names and reviews are on the page but it's in the editor and I've saved and published the changes. I've got a testimonial in the database but it won't load on the page, just a blank space
Hello, around 10 minutes I get lost... When I create a light box for reviews I am unable to link the text boxes to my testimonials dataset. I create the dataset as instructed but the options don't show up.. Any idea what the problem might be?
the information was great i completed all steps but for some i can see the reviews in my editor site but once i published it i can not see the actual reviews posted
Every time I have someone post a testimonial, it displays 1 or multiple of the same ones. Can't seem to get it to populate a new testimonial each time. Do you know what I can do?
Amazing thank you so much!!! I just have one doubt... If I limit it to say 20 testimonials, what happens to the older ones? Can we continue those in a tab format or do they disappear?
Hi Micheal, thanks very much for this. It was stressing me out until I found your video. Question though.. I've done a test run before publishing it all works but I don't how to delete my test Testimonial. I don't want to show up on the published site but I don't want to delete the repeater with it all setup either. Hope this makes sense, could really use your help thanks!
Great tutorial. Thank you. But I was wondering, how can you make the testimonials silde from right to left instead of stacking them from top to bottom? Thank you.
I have followed your video and everything I believe is in place as per your youtube video. When I type a test testimonial and hit submit. It transfers me back to the right page. But not customer testimonial appears. I just don't get what is wrong.
After setting up Testimonial page. Then I go to data base field, to Create a new collection(Custom Use).....Ready to to set and create collection to add my text and I keep getting this message...."An error has occurred, just your internet connection and again." I do and then all i get is loading page, and waiting and waiting....Am I doing something wrong?!?!?!?
Very clear and concise. Question: Can email be a field to use? And if so, can it be kept hidden to the public, but stashed in our account for future emailings?
This was a fantastic video. Thank you so much for your help, it's very easy to follow, this issue I face os no option is there for lightbox in my menu option nor it is there in the add option. I am from India, does the country you reside in have different options? can you help me out, please?
Hello, I created my testimonial but I am still having issues. When I submitted a test testimonial it allows me to click on the profile picture which then takes me to my dashboard. I am not sure if it is supposed to do that, but I would really like to know how to fix that issue. Also, I noticed a few people ask how do you delete a testimonial but I do not see a response from you on any of them. Could you please assist in answering how to delete a posted testimonial? Thank you!
Thank you for this video. It has been very helpful. I am stuck at step (17:00) connect button --Link connects to SUBMIT. On my end, the SUBMIT option is not available under LINK CONNECTS TO. Please HELP!
Is there a way to allow customers to upload photos, other than their profile photo, along with their testimonials. For instance: Bob did a great job of fixing my guitar, here are before and after photos.
Hi does anyone know if you can add repeaters for reviews on dynamic profile pages, I’ve tried everything and the submitted test reviews will not show on my live site it’s blank, however it shows up on the preview page :S
so what you just did... Will this add to that list automatically when somebody post their testimony? Or do you then have to go in and add that into the list manually?
Hi, hope you are fine... I have a multilingual web page, and I want to have the spanish testimonial just shows on the spanish page and the english on the englosh page. Indeed, the idea is the persons hat browse in englizh could input their testimonial in englis and just show on that page, the same for the one in spanish. Right now what I have to do is transalte and join both in the same field so you should both languages in both pages but that is TOO long. Do you think an easy way to do what I want. Thanks a lot in advance....
Ok so I did all that work saved it clicked on preview mode and the whole Testimonial page disappeared. It doesn't matter what I do the Testimonial disappears.
Hey this was a really helpful video, but i was wondering who do you do the star rating that you briefly mentioned? I have tried to do it and am running into issues. PLEASE Help... Need ASAP!
@@TheWixTrainingAcademy Yes in the video when making your dataset you mentioned adding a star rating system. I am trying to do that in my website for work, but am not getting any success in getting the data to show in the reviews from the survey i put in. All the results show the same star rating which is different that the results from the survey. Can you explain the process of how to put in a star rating in a survey so that the responses show correctly on the website.
great video, but all my repeaters disappear and I have only 1 left in editor, and there is just i testimonial showing up despite how many test testimonials I create. It only shows the new one :(
Thanks! I followed your tutorial precisely, but when other individuals locally attempt to open the lightbox by clicking on the button, nothing happens. Unfortunately, I don't understand why this happens. Also, how can individuals who place a testimonial delete or change it (the permission roles are set to 'anyone', as you described)?
I am able to make the reviews thing but the reviews always get linked to a specific account. I want everyone visiting the site to see the reviews. Can you please help me out?
I am trying to add testimonials to my website and I am stuck at 10:08 where it saids WTA registration. Please do not send me a link to watch another video. I have paid my membership to WIX for a year and need specific help in finding that WTA registration so I can move forward. Time is money and customers need to leave their testimonials!!! Thank you for you time
For some reason the testimonials submitted via phone don't show up on desktop & test. submitted via desktop don't show on the mobile view. How do I fix that?
Hi Michael, any tips on how to edit a testimonial post after it's submitted? The image didn't come through correctly and they want to update it. Thanks so much!
Just made an attempt at this. Only to realize I hadn't done the "Light box" route at all. Kinda gutted now. Can't even recall the mention of "light box" in the tutorial itself.
Thanks for all your hard work with this,. One comment, you should not push your website so hard in the voice-over to someone who is already a convert, it can really put people off the videos. Cheers
Awesome explanation of how to set up a testimonial section!! Question: Is it somehow possible to auto-fill certain fields (e.g., "Name", "Profile Picture" etc.) for someone who is already logged into the website as a member? Thanx RS
At 10:08 on the video you introduce WTA Registration page which I do not have on my end. I understand WTA is Wix Training Academy, but my site doesn't have a registration page, so I'm not sure how to proceed. Currently, I have services I offer which can be booked online and paid for online, so would a registration page be part of the information they need to provide when booking a service? These are services for which I would like a review so I guess the answer is yes, I'm just not sure how to connect them.
I had a lot of frustration here. My screen does not show things the same way and I could not figure out lightboxes vs container boxes. I can certainly appreciate all the efforts put forth, but after three hours of near successes, all leading to failure. I have given up
Yes, this was one aspect of it. You have to use a related product function in the code to assign it to one specific product. I will be making an update video.
I love this tutorial! The only thing I noticed is that after following all these steps, when someone posts a tutorial, if you long press on the actual testimonial on the published website, it opens a link to Wix in a foreign language. This is probably something I did wrong with the dataset but how do I fix that?
Hey, I've followed every step in the vid, but when I press submit on the live site nothing happens. And it seems "Collections" is the new term as I do not see "datasets" anywhere :( please help.
@@jenniferbishop3260 No I just chose not to display the live feed of the data that comes in. I think it's overrated! I just use static reviews. And submit contact info into my contact forms. Not rally looking for reviews at the moment.
Hello Thank You So much for sharing! I followed all the steps and made sure everything is linked and for some reason when I publish it and write a test review it doesn't show on the customer review page. Do you have any solution?
Hi! I want to add an option for my clients to select which photoshoot they have had. So that a label appears on the review. Do you know if that's possible? I don't want them to fill it in by themselves. Then they will all name their shoot differently. Thanks for you clear explanation by the way!!
what is the option to put the stars in the rating? i found in the user input how to ask for stars, but im not sure which type should i ask for in the database,
How do we add a total review count on the product itself, not just a floating review box. I want my customers to see a total average rating on the product
Thanks you so, the video is great! I created my portfolio site in Mobirise software and exported as plain HTML static site to local drive - is it possible to import this site to Wix?!
Hi. Great videos. How can I review the testimonial before be live automatic? Now anyone make a testimonial in my web page and go directly to Live database instead sandbox and I do not know how to fix this
This was really helpful. Thank you so much!

Hi, I try to figure out but I can't do it... the second dataset don't allow me to use the testimonial on it.

It changed.... So this guid is great for last year... But now it's different...
Thanks a lot for the video, helped me out a lot!!

Can this be done using a slider to show reviews? Also when building a lightbox on a current webpage the lightbox setting (Display on all pages have to be on) for it to function on wix mobile. However, for some reason, i can't select the page I want it on since the lightbox is already built on a particular page. Please help
Thanks you so much, what an amazing informative video. Helped me, who is a beginner
Thanks Michael, I have followed the tutorial, but I must have missed something, my lightbox data is not transferring to my Dataset. If I add manually to my collection, it displays on the home page.
Can you create a new video of how to add testimonials now with the new updates that fix have>
The "CMS" is where you will find the data base section. If you click on the table icon in the left corner the is labeled "CMS" this is where you will create your collection as he says at 1:58. From here you can either use AI to generate the collection for you or make it from scratch. If you are following his video I would make it from scratch just so you know how to do it and then if you want to use AI then you can. After clicking on "create from scratch," follow his video from 2:49. To change the settings to, for example "Who can view content, add content, delete content, or update content," click on" More Actions in the top right corner. And select "Permissions & Privacy." At 4:17 you have to add a repeater, so click on the "+" button, click on "Layout Tools" and select "Repeaters," Be careful because it wont look like the one he is using and you have to enter your own information, for example: enter a text box for full name, a paragraph box for the testimonials, a image for the profile picture, etc. Whatever you do to one on the section in the repeater it will replicate in the other sections. At 6;05 you have to add a dataset, press the "+" button, Click "CMS" and select "Data Set." This is where I got lost, 8:11, i dont know where to find the area to add a lightbox. I asked ChatGPT and it told me to go to the app market, type in lightbox and it will show you a bunch of apps that you can use to indicate a pop-up when someone presses on that "Post Your Testimonial" button. If you figure it out from here, please share your steps with me! And I will do the same if I figure it out!!! :)
Great video !! So helpful . I just did it because of this video !!!
Fantastic! Congratulations
I have followed your tutorial, however, it only posts one comment and doesn't allow for more reviews to be published, keeping all the other columns on the default text. When all columns are connected to the dataset, then one review is posted into each separate column, eliminating the old review leaving multiples of one review. This occurs despite the "items displayed" settings being on 20. Help!
UPDATE: I fixed it!
Hi! Thanks for sharing! It would be nice if there was a wix app for this linked to the member profile as I would like this to be member specific allowing edits etc and available under testimonials in their profile!
for some reason the testimonials aren't appearing on the page for them despite the button and forms both being connected to the dataset, like it won't load that the repeater and the visual stuff of the names and reviews are on the page but it's in the editor and I've saved and published the changes. I've got a testimonial in the database but it won't load on the page, just a blank space
I am having the same issue
Your awesome it worked great for me
Thank you 🙏
My visitor cannot click the upload button, do I need to buy an Ascend package first?
this video is amazing!! however when i do a sample, the testimonial does not show up, how can I fix this?
Im having the same problem.
Hello, around 10 minutes I get lost... When I create a light box for reviews I am unable to link the text boxes to my testimonials dataset. I create the dataset as instructed but the options don't show up.. Any idea what the problem might be?
the information was great i completed all steps but for some i can see the reviews in my editor site but once i published it i can not see the actual reviews posted
Every time I have someone post a testimonial, it displays 1 or multiple of the same ones. Can't seem to get it to populate a new testimonial each time. Do you know what I can do?
Amazing thank you so much!!! I just have one doubt... If I limit it to say 20 testimonials, what happens to the older ones? Can we continue those in a tab format or do they disappear?
thanku sir,for posting wahat i truelyyyy needed.
Glad I could help!
Love the training but When you get to the Site menu part, Mine does not show any of that so I'm really stuck and don't know what to do.
Hello , i did everything as you described , it is good but for a store it is not beneficial
how to add a feedback for each item (listing).
thank you!
Hi Micheal, thanks very much for this. It was stressing me out until I found your video. Question though.. I've done a test run before publishing it all works but I don't how to delete my test Testimonial. I don't want to show up on the published site but I don't want to delete the repeater with it all setup either. Hope this makes sense, could really use your help thanks!
Great tutorial. Thank you. But I was wondering, how can you make the testimonials silde from right to left instead of stacking them from top to bottom? Thank you.
Ya like a slider review
I have followed your video and everything I believe is in place as per your youtube video. When I type a test testimonial and hit submit. It transfers me back to the right page. But not customer testimonial appears. I just don't get what is wrong.
After setting up Testimonial page. Then I go to data base field, to Create a new collection(Custom Use).....Ready to to set and create collection to add my text and I keep getting this message...."An error has occurred, just your internet connection and again." I do and then all i get is loading page, and waiting and waiting....Am I doing something wrong?!?!?!?
Very clear and concise. Question: Can email be a field to use? And if so, can it be kept hidden to the public, but stashed in our account for future emailings?
I believe you can make email a compulsory field on the form but not make it part of the repeater 😊
How do I get to WTA webpage ? Im confused at that point
head to www.wixmywebsite.com/
This was a fantastic video. Thank you so much for your help, it's very easy to follow, this issue I face os no option is there for lightbox in my menu option nor it is there in the add option. I am from India, does the country you reside in have different options? can you help me out, please?
Hello, I created my testimonial but I am still having issues. When I submitted a test testimonial it allows me to click on the profile picture which then takes me to my dashboard. I am not sure if it is supposed to do that, but I would really like to know how to fix that issue. Also, I noticed a few people ask how do you delete a testimonial but I do not see a response from you on any of them. Could you please assist in answering how to delete a posted testimonial? Thank you!
is it also possible to link to google, facebook etc to automatically import those references, when people write new testimonials?
Thank you for this video. It has been very helpful. I am stuck at step (17:00) connect button --Link connects to SUBMIT. On my end, the SUBMIT option is not available under LINK CONNECTS TO. Please HELP!
Is there a way to allow customers to upload photos, other than their profile photo, along with their testimonials. For instance: Bob did a great job of fixing my guitar, here are before and after photos.
Hi does anyone know if you can add repeaters for reviews on dynamic profile pages, I’ve tried everything and the submitted test reviews will not show on my live site it’s blank, however it shows up on the preview page :S
This works great! Does anyone know a way to only publish approved testimonials?
so what you just did... Will this add to that list automatically when somebody post their testimony? Or do you then have to go in and add that into the list manually?
in collections when inputing for ratings what do i put for the field type?please help
My testimonials are only dispalying one (and most recent) testimonial, how do I create different entries to reference different submissions?
Hi, hope you are fine... I have a multilingual web page, and I want to have the spanish testimonial just shows on the spanish page and the english on the englosh page. Indeed, the idea is the persons hat browse in englizh could input their testimonial in englis and just show on that page, the same for the one in spanish. Right now what I have to do is transalte and join both in the same field so you should both languages in both pages but that is TOO long. Do you think an easy way to do what I want. Thanks a lot in advance....
Do you have a trouble shooting video for this? I have it all set up, but it isn't showing the submitted testimony.
Very informative video, but when I have testimonials submitted, it is the same testimonial over and over again. Any insight on how I can change this?
Great learning...
Thank you!
Ok so I did all that work saved it clicked on preview mode and the whole Testimonial page disappeared. It doesn't matter what I do the Testimonial disappears.
Hey this was a really helpful video, but i was wondering who do you do the star rating that you briefly mentioned? I have tried to do it and am running into issues. PLEASE Help... Need ASAP!
Can you explain further?
@@TheWixTrainingAcademy Yes in the video when making your dataset you mentioned adding a star rating system. I am trying to do that in my website for work, but am not getting any success in getting the data to show in the reviews from the survey i put in. All the results show the same star rating which is different that the results from the survey. Can you explain the process of how to put in a star rating in a survey so that the responses show correctly on the website.
great video, but all my repeaters disappear and I have only 1 left in editor, and there is just i testimonial showing up despite how many test testimonials I create. It only shows the new one :(
Hi, is there a tutorial on how to connect dataset to a star review system?
Thanks! I followed your tutorial precisely, but when other individuals locally attempt to open the lightbox by clicking on the button, nothing happens. Unfortunately, I don't understand why this happens. Also, how can individuals who place a testimonial delete or change it (the permission roles are set to 'anyone', as you described)?
You can make it so that the person who wrote the testimonial...(site member author) is the only one to update or delete.
Thank you for your reply. Is this procedure explained somewhere? :)
I am able to make the reviews thing but the reviews always get linked to a specific account. I want everyone visiting the site to see the reviews. Can you please help me out?
I am trying to add testimonials to my website and I am stuck at 10:08 where it saids WTA registration. Please do not send me a link to watch another video. I have paid my membership to WIX for a year and need specific help in finding that WTA registration so I can move forward. Time is money and customers need to leave their testimonials!!! Thank you for you time
Really helpful, thank you!
No worries! Glad to help
Thank You Bro you did some great things..
Certainly trying my best!
For some reason the testimonials submitted via phone don't show up on desktop & test. submitted via desktop don't show on the mobile view. How do I fix that?
You really know how to give a good training. Very clear and at the perfect pace for an active listener. This tutorial gets 5 stars from me.
Great video. However, still unable to find an easy way to add a testimonial strip to my mobile version of my site.
Hi Michael, any tips on how to edit a testimonial post after it's submitted? The image didn't come through correctly and they want to update it. Thanks so much!
I will be creating a video for this!
Just made an attempt at this. Only to realize I hadn't done the "Light box" route at all. Kinda gutted now. Can't even recall the mention of "light box" in the tutorial itself.
Thanks for all your hard work with this,. One comment, you should not push your website so hard in the voice-over to someone who is already a convert, it can really put people off the videos. Cheers
I appreciate the feedback! I did a bit more pushing in this video compared to others, because I want to hear everyone's testimonials!
Why my Dataset settings only can be read only? and the write only mode is not active
Awesome explanation of how to set up a testimonial section!!
Question: Is it somehow possible to auto-fill certain fields (e.g., "Name", "Profile Picture" etc.) for someone who is already logged into the website as a member?
Thanx
RS
I think you can't.
At 10:08 on the video you introduce WTA Registration page which I do not have on my end. I understand WTA is Wix Training Academy, but my site doesn't have a registration page, so I'm not sure how to proceed. Currently, I have services I offer which can be booked online and paid for online, so would a registration page be part of the information they need to provide when booking a service? These are services for which I would like a review so I guess the answer is yes, I'm just not sure how to connect them.
Are you using the Wix bookings app yet?
I had a lot of frustration here. My screen does not show things the same way and I could not figure out lightboxes vs container boxes. I can certainly appreciate all the efforts put forth, but after three hours of near successes, all leading to failure. I have given up
I followed your instruction in add product review video but the review was published in all products ? pls help
Yes, this was one aspect of it. You have to use a related product function in the code to assign it to one specific product. I will be making an update video.
@@TheWixTrainingAcademy when will that video come out?
I love this tutorial! The only thing I noticed is that after following all these steps, when someone posts a tutorial, if you long press on the actual testimonial on the published website, it opens a link to Wix in a foreign language. This is probably something I did wrong with the dataset but how do I fix that?
great video
Hey, I've followed every step in the vid, but when I press submit on the live site nothing happens. And it seems "Collections" is the new term as I do not see "datasets" anywhere :( please help.
Im in the same boat
Have you fixed yours? Nothing happens for me either!
@@ashlandjamison4310 Have you fixed yours? Nothing happens for me either!
@@jenniferbishop3260 No I just chose not to display the live feed of the data that comes in. I think it's overrated! I just use static reviews. And submit contact info into my contact forms. Not rally looking for reviews at the moment.
Hello Thank You So much for sharing! I followed all the steps and made sure everything is linked and for some reason when I publish it and write a test review it doesn't show on the customer review page. Do you have any solution?
We just launched: www.askwix.com/ and this would be a perfect source to help you on this task!
Thank you very much for your guidance. However I me trial and the testimonial is not showing up after refreshing page
Interesting. Does the content get added to the collection after submission?
I do not have the "Data" on mine. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
It has changed to be that you have to click "add" then "content manager" had to figure it out too as the platform must have evolved since this video
Hi! I want to add an option for my clients to select which photoshoot they have had. So that a label appears on the review. Do you know if that's possible? I don't want them to fill it in by themselves. Then they will all name their shoot differently. Thanks for you clear explanation by the way!!
Thank you! You would just need to add another input field!
what is the option to put the stars in the rating? i found in the user input how to ask for stars, but im not sure which type should i ask for in the database,
For stars, you will need to use Boolean if there is no ratings in database fields yet. They are always adding and evolving so it’s worth checking
how can i add booking review for that specific booking that customer made?
How do we add a total review count on the product itself, not just a floating review box. I want my customers to see a total average rating on the product
Thanks you so, the video is great! I created my portfolio site in Mobirise software and exported as plain HTML static site to local drive - is it possible to import this site to Wix?!
Does anyone know how to delete the reviews? I did some practice reviews and I need to get rid of them please help!!!!
Hi I don't seem to have the data section on y dashboard?
Hi. Great videos. How can I review the testimonial before be live automatic? Now anyone make a testimonial in my web page and go directly to Live database instead sandbox and I do not know how to fix this
Nice
