README

A modern, lightweight WordPress plugin for managing and displaying customer testimonials and reviews — built for social proof and business credibility.

CI

Features

  • Testimonial post type with hierarchical Groups and rich fields: rating, company, designation, website, verified badge, company logo, location, social links.
  • Seven layouts: Grid, List, Card, Carousel, Marquee, Masonry, Spotlight.
  • Nine card styles: Classic, Modern, Minimal, Bubble, Bold, Glass, Gradient, Outline, Retro — per block (style attribute) or site-wide default; extensible via the advanced_testimonial_card_styles filter.
  • Shortcode [advanced_testimonial], a no-build Gutenberg block with a live (ServerSideRender) preview, and an Elementor widget.
  • Front-end submission form ([at_form]) — visitors submit testimonials that land as Pending for review, with nonce + honeypot + rate-limit spam protection and an optional admin email notification.
  • Video testimonials — a per-testimonial Video URL (YouTube / Vimeo / MP4); cards show a play button and the video opens in a lightbox, with nothing loaded until the visitor clicks play.
  • Settings page (General / Styles / Performance / Submission Form / Advanced) with full theming via CSS custom properties.
  • Schema.org Review markup, accessibility (ARIA, keyboard), RTL support.
  • Performance-first: frontend assets load only when testimonials are present; a tiny vanilla-JS carousel (no jQuery, no external libraries).
  • Developer friendly: theme template overrides (theme/advanced-testimonial/*.php) and filters.

Shortcode

[advanced_testimonial layout="grid" columns="3" group="clients" limit="9" order="desc"]

Attributes: layout, style (classic/modern/minimal/bubble/bold/glass/gradient/outline/retro), width (wide/full), columns, limit, group, ids, order (asc/desc/random), orderby (date/title/menu_order/rating), verified (1 = verified only), autoplay, and show_rating / show_image / show_company / show_designation / show_location / show_date / show_verified / show_website / show_video.

Submission form: [at_form title="Leave a review" group="clients"] — attributes: title, success (custom success message), group (auto-assign submissions to a group).

Architecture

  • Namespace AdvancedTestimonial, PSR-4 autoload (with a bundled fallback loader, so composer install is not required at runtime).
  • includes/ core · admin/ CPT, taxonomy, meta boxes, columns, settings · frontend/ query, renderer, template loader, assets · shortcode/ · blocks/ (no-build) · templates/ · assets/.

Development

composer install     # dev tools (PHP_CodeSniffer + WPCS)
composer lint        # run coding-standards checks
composer lint:fix    # auto-fix where possible

PHP 7.4+ compatible. Coding standard: WordPress-Core (see phpcs.xml.dist).

Release workflow

  1. Bump the version in 4 places: advanced-testimonial.php (header + ADVANCED_TESTIMONIAL_VERSION), blocks/block.json, composer.json, and readme.txt (Stable tag + changelog).
  2. Commit and push to main. Wait for CI (lint + PHPCS) to pass.
  3. Tag the release: git tag X.Y.Z && git push origin X.Y.Z. The Deploy workflow publishes it to WordPress.org.

Requires GitHub secrets SVN_USERNAME and SVN_PASSWORD (a WordPress.org account with commit access to the plugin).
