Are visitors allowed to add testimonial?

Valerie 14 years, 1 month ago

I added to my page [Testimonials: all] and that worked great to display them.
However, how do I give visitors to the site the ability to add a testimonial. I don’t see a shortcode or anything to do that.

Hi Valerie,

you’re right, there is no option for adding testimonials directly from visitors.
Testimonials section should be nice, well kept with good formatting. Therefore we think it is better if you enter testimonials yourself. If you can use some form for collecting testimonials, why not use comments?

Hi Valerie,

We often think about adding an add your own testimonial form (with picture).

Thanks for the suggestion.

Zdenka, let’s try to add this to at least the pro version sometime soon. We can use the built-in WordPress text parsing for comments and just need an image uploader. Of course the image uploader is a security issue but I think we have one now which is safe (i.e. disallows anything other than images and won’t allow execution of the files until they are vetted: it should also not let the visitor know where the files are going – when approved the image should be moved to a different directory).

Yes, the ability for a user to enter their own testimonial makes most sense :)

I’d be very interested in purchasing this if it had the ability for a customer to enter a testimonial themselves, which are left pending until approved/deleted.

Also a testimonial rotator, with a link to see more/full testimonials.

Hi Vitaly,

at the moment we don’t have form for adding new testimonials by users themselves, but we’re planning to add this feature soon.

A testimonials rotator is available in PRO version, and it can be set up by adding the corresponding code into the theme template.

Hello,

As owner of a web business – I to, would be interested to have clients add their own testimonials.

This would be an excellent feature – when can you include this function?

Hi Karen,

we are working on an improvement of our testimonials plugin and it’s PRO version, and we’ll be adding this functionality as well.
