We’d like to introduce our first WordPress plugin, Random Testimonials.
With this plugin you have the ability to display a number of testimonials either in a page or post. The amount displayed is determined by you. We also created a submission form that you can include in a post or page in order to have people submit their testimonials to you. User submitted testimonials are added to a queue in your WordPress Admin for your approval.
Here is a quick set of instructions to get you going:
- Install the plugin either via FTP or Admin backend
- Activate the plugin
- Go to the Random Testimonials Admin, under Settings
- Add any testimonials you already have (yes, you could even make some up)
- To have the testimonials show in a post use the following code: [show_testimonials limit="x"] and replace ‘x’ with the number of testimonials you would like displayed.
- To have the testimonials submission form displayed in a post/page use the following code: [testimonial_form]
Don’t forget to check your queue every now and then to see if there any new testimonials waiting for your approval.
Below is the file for you to enjoy. If it worked out for you, feel free to leave a comment, we’d like to hear from you.

It’s a really good plugin for a business website to use. There does not seem to be an option to edit the testimonials though which is a problem. Some clients just can’t spell! Shame to have to delve into the database to make changes!

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I’ll see what we can do about releasing a 1.2 with that feature enabled. We always appreciate good suggestions and comments like this!
Thanks,
Jason
