Using effective testimonials is an important step in this process and highlighting the right testimonials is of the utmost importance. Did you know that 90% of people trust testimonials from people they know, and that 70% of people trust testimonials of strangers posted online? (Neilsen, 2009) * Testimonials build trust. Nothing is more trustworthy than seeing a real person talking highly of your product or service * Testimonials can answer important questions * Testimonials overcome buyer skepticism by showing how your product has helped others * A testimonial can substantiate claims that you have made on your website * By including a first name, last name and company name in the testimonial, you are showing that your testimonials are coming from real people ## Screenshots * [[ * Settings page of Super Testimonials. Select your image style, layout, theme and much more. * [[ * Options page * [[ * Super Testimonials example * [[ * Super Testimonials example * [[ * Available testimonial shortcodes * [[ * Premium add-on testimonial example * [[ * Premium add-on example ## Blocks This plugin provides 2 blocks. * Super Testimonials – All * Super Testimonial – Single ## Installation 1. Once activated, click the “Testimonials” link in your left navigation 2. Create a testimonial by clicking on “Add New” and fill in the required fields. 3. Ensure that you have changed the settings to your liking within the Testimonials- >Settings page 4. Copy and paste the shortcode of your choice and paste it into your post or page 5. Your testimonials should now appear on your website ## FAQ ### I’ve installed the Super Testimonials plugin, now what? Once installed and activated, a link should appear in your left navigation panel within your wp-admin section. Click on the “Testimonials” link and follow the on screen instructions. ### How do I get the premium version of Super Testimonials? Order your copy of [Super Testimonials Premium](https://codecabin.io/store/super-testimonials-pro/?utm_source=wordpress&utm_medium=click&utm_campaign=readme). ### How do I create a Testimonial? * Click on Testimonials in your left navigation menu * Click on the “Add New” button at the top of the page * Fill in the relevant fields such as a title and body for your testiomial and click “Publish” * A shortcode will be created for each individual testimonial ### What shortcodes can I use? * To see all the shortcodes that are available to you, go to “Settings” under “ Testimonials” and click on the “Shortcodes” tab. * [super_testimonial id=”x”] [super_t_all_testimonials] ### How do I create a testimonial widget? Showing your testimonials within a widget is easy. Simply copy and paste the shortcode of the testimonial into a text widget and press “Save”. Your testimonial widget should appear on your website. Keep in mind that you should rather select an individual testimonial shortcode for a widget instead of the shortcode that dispays all the testimonials. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/de987407805bbb712ec92b6b8f1f9bcbed84db3e43005f9702227c02bb668099? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[No support with pro](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-support-with-pro/)󠁿 [midian42](https://profiles.wordpress.org/midian42/) February 23, 2021 DON’T PAY FOR THE PRO ADD-ON (Sola Testimonials). The plugin integration with pro is broken, and I’ve gotten no response to my request for help a week ago. I’ve paid for the pro, and it’s pretty much useless now. I’m on the hunt for a new plugin. It *was* a nice plugin. I got a whole 3 years of use out of it before it was abandoned. As far as I can tell, the free version still works, but what’s the point when I paid for more? ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6b8ee5fa0fdef732facad6899914777e67181bb9cdffbe2278397545b77538e1? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Poor support, buggy](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/poor-support-buggy-3/)󠁿 [](https://profiles.wordpress.org/peterfz30/) April 6, 2020 Support for this plugin seems to be non-existant. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7fd048e9fe25c58d53b7f760ff03df9c325011a7977eeae3e85c9a6b397b519d? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Excellent supoort](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-supoort/)󠁿 [sclibbon](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sclibbon/) March 15, 2018 I was looking to change the links on the plug in from Nofollow to follow and the assistance I received from Dylan was nothing sort of top class.

Approval now requires the publish_posts capability. * Security: Added nonce verification to the testimonial edit-screen meta save, the per-form configuration metabox (Pro) and the public testimonial submission form (Pro). * Security: Replaced extract($_POST) with explicit per-field sanitization in every settings save handler (5 sites across both plugins). * Security: Added a real nonce to the testimonial-page-change AJAX endpoint (the previous ‘security’ parameter was just the AJAX URL). * Security: Public testimonial submissions now default to ‘pending’ status so the approval flow is enforced (Pro). * Security: Submission handler moved from wp_head to template_redirect so the post- submit redirect actually works (Pro). * Security: Removed an unreachable email-recipient branch from the public submission handler that could have been reached via extract($_POST) (Pro). * Security: All admin form values now run through esc_attr / esc_url / esc_html on output. Custom CSS output is wrapped with wp_strip_all_tags to prevent style- tag breakout. * Security: REST endpoint methods are now declared as arrays instead of an unparsed‘ GET, POST’ string. * Security: Update checker no longer deserializes arbitrary PHP classes from the remote response (Pro). * Security: Direct file access protection (ABSPATH guard) added to every PHP file. * Replaced the deprecated get_page_by_title() call (scheduled for removal in WordPress) with get_posts() in the activation routines. * Removed the bundled Ace editor (~3MB across 100+ files) from the plugin distribution. The Custom CSS field on the Styles tab and the Pro Slider tab now use WordPress’s built-in CodeMirror editor with full syntax highlighting, line numbers, and bracket matching – and respect the user’s “Disable syntax highlighting” preference. * Removed the unused jquery.form-validator script from Lite. It was only consumed by the Pro submission form and is now bundled with Pro instead, so Lite-only sites no longer download it. * Restyled the Custom CSS settings field for a cleaner WordPress-admin look (focus ring, monospace stack, soft border, line-number gutter). * Updated the Lite version link in the admin footer to point at the WordPress.org plugin page, and removed the Twitter link. * Fixed a longstanding bug where the ‘Allow HTML’ and ‘Content Type’ options on the Pro options screen were silently never saved due to typos in the save handler. * Fixed a small bug on the Pro Slider’s Custom CSS field where the saved value was passed through nl2br() before strip_tags(), introducing then removing line- break tags on each render. #### 3.0.0 – 2020-11-13 – Medium priority * Renamed to
