WP-Testimonials: a WordPress Plugin

WP-Testimonials is a plugin for WordPress that lets you display your customer/client/product testimonials on your blog.

You may add, edit or remove testimonials through the “Testimonials” navigation tab in the admin area. The plugin includes the option to display one or more random testimonials in your sidebar using a widget.

Testimonials can also be displayed all on one page. Simply create a new page in the dashboard (leaving the content area blank) and then select that page from the drop-down list in the Testimonial settings.

All of the information you need to install and use the plugin is contained in the readme file.

If you are having an issue with blank pages…

I believe the problem is caused when you had a previous testimonials plugin installed and that plugin fails to remove the table when you uninstall it.  This leaves the table in your database which can conflict with the WP-Testimonials table.

To solve this problem, go to the Settings tab of the Testimonials dashboard and check the box to “Remove table when deactivating plugin” and save your settings.  Now, deactivate and then reactivate the plugin.  This should remove the old table and force a clean install of my plugin.

Anyone having the blank page issue should back up their testimonials and try this method to see if it solves the problem.

  1. Hello – I would like to say that I appreciate your work. The plugin is very helpful. I was wondering if there is any way to add a form to my testimonial page that will allow clients to input their own testimonials. I can create the form on the page but am not advanced enough to have it write to the database. Thanks.
