Topic summary

  • Request: Add a background image to the Reviews.io ratings bar widget at the top of the site. The built-in customization only allows a left-to-right gradient recolor.

  • Implementation need: The poster wants to know where in the backend to place code to use an image and align elements to match a provided mockup. An attached image is central to understanding the desired design.

  • Current limitation: They cannot find where the widget’s background is controlled in the theme/app code.

  • Response: A reply notes this depends on how the review section was integrated (e.g., app embed, theme block, or script). The suggestion is to contact the Reviews.io app/provider to see if image backgrounds are supported or can be enabled.

  • Outcome: No code-based solution was provided. No changes or decisions were finalized.

  • Status: Unresolved/ongoing.

  • Next steps: Contact Reviews.io support to confirm if the widget supports custom background images and, if so, where to inject custom CSS/HTML or configure the setting.

Hello all,

I am wondering if it is possible to add a background image to the Reviews.IO ratings bar widget at the top of this site.

When trying to design it via the Reviews.io site, the only option is a re-colour in the form of a gradient, from left to right.

If an image is possible, it would be more versatile for design, however I cannot find where to put this code on the back-end in order to add an image.

I would like to add in an image to make it view like below, however I would also need a way to match everything up correctly.

Would anyone know how to implement this code into the back-end to achieve this?

I appreciate any help.

Hi @Toptoys2uHS

This depends on how the Review section is added. I would suggest contacting the Review app provider as they might give this option available for you
