Groundworx

Groundworx Testimonial gives you a dedicated testimonial post type plus flexible blocks that fit seamlessly into the WordPress Block Editor.
You can display testimonials in two ways: 
– Query Loop – pull multiple testimonials automatically from the CPT. 
– Standalone block – insert a single block and select which testimonial post to display.
Each testimonial supports a quote, author, citation (e.g. company), and photo. The main Testimonial block also includes schema markup for SEO, helping search engines recognize and display your reviews.
<h4>Editing Experience</h4>
When you add a new testimonial in the admin, the editor is streamlined for this purpose: 
– The main block is a Testimonial Quote. 
– In the right sidebar, open the block settings panel (click the controls icon with sliders) to access fields for Author name, Citation (such as a company or title), and Photo.
<h4>Key Features</h4>
Custom Post Type + Fields 
Manage testimonials in one place with quote, author, citation, and photo fields.
Native Gutenberg Blocks 
Insert testimonials directly in the Block Editor—no shortcodes or legacy templates needed.
Main Testimonial Block 
Full testimonial with schema support for SEO.
Individual Field Blocks 
Use Author, Citation, Quote, and Photo as standalone blocks if you want to design custom layouts.
Flexible Display Options 
– Show multiple testimonials in a Query Loop. 
– Drop in a single block and select which testimonial to feature.
Accessible Markup 
Semantic HTML with proper <code><blockquote></code>, <code><figure></code>, and <code><figcaption></code> for screen readers and SEO.
Theme.json Integration 
Typography, spacing, colors, and borders inherit from your theme.json design tokens.
