About this plugin
Turn happy customers into your best marketing. Advanced Testimonial helps you collect trust, build social proof and increase conversions by showcasing real client reviews anywhere on your WordPress site — in beautiful grids, carousels, cards and more.
Manage reviews like regular posts, group them, and drop them onto any page with a shortcode, a Gutenberg block or an Elementor widget.

Why Advanced Testimonial?
- Build credibility & social proof — show authentic reviews with star ratings, photos, companies, locations and verified badges.
- Increase conversions — place persuasive testimonials on landing pages, product pages and checkout to turn visitors into customers.
- Win in Google — Review/Rating structured data on every testimonial, eligible for ⭐ star rich results when your reviews point at a product, app or course (Google never stars a business reviewing itself — pick the reviewed thing in Settings → General).
- Fast & lightweight — frontend assets load only where they are used, with no jQuery and no bloat, so your pages stay fast.
- Fits any site — agencies, SaaS products, WooCommerce shops, restaurants, portfolios, healthcare and more.
Everything you need
- Seven display layouts: Grid, List, Card, Carousel, Marquee, Masonry and Spotlight.
- Nine card styles — Classic, Modern, Minimal, Bubble, Bold, Glass, Gradient, Outline and Retro. Mix any style with any layout, per block or site-wide.
- A no-build Gutenberg block, an Elementor widget and the [advanced_testimonial] shortcode.
- Front-end submission form — add [at_form] to any page so visitors can submit testimonials directly from your site. Submissions land as “Pending” for you to review before publishing, with spam protection (nonce, honeypot and rate-limiting) and an optional admin email notification.
- Video testimonials — paste a YouTube, Vimeo or self-hosted MP4 link on any testimonial; the card shows a play button and the video opens in a lightbox.
- Rich per-review fields: headline, rating (half-stars supported), company, designation, location, photo, company logo, review date, verified badge, website and social links (X/Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook).
- Group filter tabs, a “Read more” toggle for long reviews and “Load more” batching.
- Ready-made demos you can import in one click from the built-in Demo Library.
- Handy Tools tab: one-click starter demo, JSON import/export of your testimonials, clear cache, reset settings and system info.
- Translation-ready, accessible (ARIA, keyboard, RTL) and built on the WordPress Coding Standards.
