Testimonials Manager for WordPress

Testimonials Manager is a WordPress plugin that allows you to manage and display testimonials for your blog, product or service. It can be used to build your portfolio or to encourage readers to subscribe / buy your products.

This is without doubt the best testimonial plugin for WordPress – it’s simple but powerful and flexible. Version 2 is redesigned and improved to allow more options when adding, managing and displaying testimonials.

Add and Edit Testimonials Easily

To add a new testimonials, just enter the Name, Website and Website URL as well as the full testimonial. Version 2 comes with a built in text editor, using TinyMCE. You can use Gravatars or upload a custom user image. All uploaded images will be automatically re-sized based on your settings.

Add New Testimonial

You can then view all your testimonials in a screen that is pretty similar to how you manage WordPress comments, and choose to Edit or Delete testimonials:

Manage Testimonials

Display Full Testimonials Page

All your testimonials can be displayed according to order on a full page. All you need to do is paste the following code in any WordPress page where you want your testimonials to appear:

Your full testimonials page will look like this:

Testimonials Manager is an awesome plugin. Best of its kind that I have found.

I have several niche blogs. Sometimes I leave comments unapproved for weeks, because I don’t have time to decide about the borderline ones. (The obvious spam I delete immediately.)

The Comment Policy plugin gives everyone clear warning and should make life much easier!

Thanks for the great plugin. It works perfectly! Love the fact that there's a widget AND being able to have a testimonials page. Ive tried at least two other plugins, and they dont match the functionality of Testimonials Manager.

Testimonials Manager is cool! It saves me alot of time designing a testimonial page.
Plus, it is so easy to manage.

The Testimonials Manager plugin works a treat!! I've used mine in the sidebar on one of my blogs; extremely easy to set up and it really looks the part!

As of version 2, we added pagination and the ability to sort the order of testimonials that appear of the full page. Now you can have the latest testimonials displayed first, on page 1.

Testimonials Widget

Rotate Testimonials Using Sidebar Widgets

Most importantly, you can rotate a predefined number of testimonials in your sidebar using WordPress widgets. Just drag and drop the Testimonials Manager widget in the correct sidebar, then give it a title and set the amount of testimonials to rotate.

The widget will automatically detect pages with the shortcode and link to it automatically with a “Read More” link. If you’ve put the code in more than one page, you can choose which page to link to.

Of course, you can also edit the appearance of the widget using the Custom CSS box. Make your testimonials scream out loud if you want to, or subtly remind your readers why they are subscribed in the first place.

From Version 2 onwards, you can have as many widgets as you want on different sidebars, depending on the design of your blog. Plus, the widget now uses true randomization instead of “linear” randomization.
