The Testimonials Block

The Testimonials block in WordPress is perfect for showcasing customer feedback or important endorsements. Here’s how to add and customize a Testimonials block on your WordPress site.

Adding a Testimonials Block

Navigate to the Testimonials Section:

1. Start by logging into your WordPress dashboard.
2. From the sidebar menu, select the appropriate post or page where you want to add the testimonials.

Add a New Testimonials Block:

1. Within the post or page editor, click on the + icon to add a new block.
2. Search for “Testimonials” and select it from the available block types.

Customizing the Testimonials Block

Content Tab:

• Heading: Add an optional heading for the testimonial section. This will appear above the testimonials and can provide context or a brief introduction.
• Image: You can add an image from the media library to the block, which could be a background image or a relevant picture associated with the testimonials.
• Button: Add a call to action button with a link to direct users to a specific page for more testimonials or related content.
• Testimonials: Select and reorder any number of testimonials that have been added to the ‘testimonials’ section. The testimonials will be displayed in a carousel format.

Settings Tab:

• Section ID: This option allows you to add an ID to the block, which is useful for one-page websites with smooth scrolling links.
• Remove Bottom Margin: Toggle this option if you want to remove the default margin at the bottom of the block. This setting makes the block sit flush with the block below it.

Example Configuration

• Heading: What People Say
• Image: Add an image relevant to the testimonials.
• Button: Button text: “See More Testimonials”, Button link: “https://example.com/testimonials“
• Testimonials:
  • Testimonial 1:
    • Text: “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing elit torquent felis pharetra nam massa fringilla fusce.”

    • Company: Skiddle
  • Testimonial 2:
    • Text: “Phasellus viverra nulla ut metus varius laoreet.”
    • Name: Matt Wise

With these settings, your testimonials will be prominently displayed on the page, providing credibility and positive reinforcement from your customers.
