WP Plugin: Random Testimonials

By: Jason Craig on Jul 10, 2009 | 6 Comments

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.

Random Testimonials Plugin

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

Hello Jason,
I’m wondering if “Customer Say’s” in the bottom of this page made by this Random Testimonials plugin?
Well, I want to try your plugin and I’m using wordpress v3.0.1 on localhost. But, when I try to entering Random Testimonials page under Settings, it says: “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

please tell me what’s the problem?

Hi,

No that’s something we hard-coded in. I can’t answer that for you without seeing your blog.

Thanks,
Jason

No, I’ve not tested on the server yet, coz still work on localhost and when tried to install it on localhost using WP 3.0.1 with AppServ then WP show “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.” when click Random Testimonials page under Settings Dashboard.

Hi, I’m using your plugin.
I want to change the color of Testimonial Author / Client name.
Please tell me which file and which code to look for.

Thanks.
