Advanced: Modify the embed code

First, grab your Review Stream embed code from Dashboard > Widgets. If you’ve already embedded the code in your website editor, locate it there.

To exclude specific review sites from your stream, simply add the attribute data-exclude=”reviewsite” inside the <div> tags. Here is an example embed code with Facebook and Yelp excluded (note the use of commas to separate entries).

<div class="gradeus-stream" data-exclude="facebook,yelp" data-url="http://grade.us/yourname"></div> <script>// <![CDATA[ !function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src="//platform.grade.us/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document, "script", "gradeus-wjs"); // ]]></script>

If you prefer, you can use the data-include attribute to exclude all sites and indicate which sites to include. Simply add the data-include=”reviewsite” attribute inside the <div> tags. Here is an example emded code with only Google+ included.

<div class="gradeus-stream" data-include="googleplus" data-url="http://grade.us/yourname"></div> <script>// <![CDATA[ !function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src="//platform.grade.us/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document, "script", "gradeus-wjs"); // ]]></script>
