KingWeb Testimonials Manager is a complete testimonials system for WordPress. Collect testimonials through a public submission form, moderate them in the admin, respond publicly, and display them as a grid, carousel, top-rated list, or a single embedded testimonial — via shortcodes, an Elementor widget, or a Gutenberg block.
Highlights
<ul>
<li>Public submission form with star rating, optional photo (Media Library), and company.</li>
<li>Moderation: approve / reject / delete, bulk actions, public admin responses, CSV export.</li>
<li>Display modes: grid (with filters + search), carousel, top-rated, and single embed.</li>
<li>Builders: “Custom Testimonials” Elementor widget and a native Gutenberg block — pick a Display Type, no shortcode required.</li>

<li>Editable, white-label emails (thank-you, admin notification, response) with branding controls.</li>
<li>SEO: Schema.org review + aggregateRating JSON-LD.</li>

<h3>Third-party libraries</h3>
This plugin bundles the following third-party libraries (each MIT-licensed, GPL-compatible):
<ul>
<li>Chart.js v4.5.1 — https://github.com/chartjs/Chart.js — MIT License</li>
<li>Swiper v12.2.0 — https://github.com/nolimits4web/swiper — MIT License</li>
</ul>
<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin includes an optional Google reCAPTCHA v3 integration for spam protection on the testimonial submission form. It is disabled by default and only becomes active when a site administrator enters their own reCAPTCHA v3 Site Key and Secret Key under Testimonials → Settings.
When enabled:
<ul>
<li>What it is / what it is used for: Google reCAPTCHA v3 scores form submissions to block automated spam, so only the testimonial submission form is affected.</li>
<li>What data is sent and when: when a visitor submits the testimonial form, the reCAPTCHA script (loaded from www.google.com) generates a token in the visitor’s browser; the plugin then sends that token, the site’s reCAPTCHA secret key, and the visitor’s IP address to Google’s verification endpoint (https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify) to obtain a spam score. No data is sent when the keys are not configured.</li>
<li>Service provider: Google. Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms — Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy — reCAPTCHA terms: https://www.google.com/recaptcha/about/</li>
</ul>
If no reCAPTCHA keys are configured, the plugin does not contact any external service.
