Groundworx Testimonial Reviews, Downloads & Maintenance

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.

Editing Experience

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
