Testimonials Widget_2160p.mp4

In this video, I'm going to be discussing the testimonials widget

00:00:05

The testimonials widget is an easy way to leave testimonials and reviews and display them in an easy -to -view fashion

00:00:14

As you can see, this is a simple website that's just got a header and testimonials widget very basic

00:00:20

This is for my web design reviews, so if I was like a web developer, I can build websites for people and have them leave reviews and then I can make those reviews into testimonials as you

00:00:31

can see here

00:00:32

00:00:38

This guy sure knows what he's doing

00:00:40

This is a review for a web developer, but you can leave a testimonial for literally anything and you can have someone make you a testimonial for whatever business it is you have or you're doing

00:00:52

It's very simple to use

00:00:54

When you open up the widget, you have your intro titles and text that will be displayed above the testimonial

00:01:00

Anything you put here will show up above it and then the list items is where you would actually put the testimonials themselves as you can see here

00:01:09

It's very simple

00:01:10

Just click add a new item to the list and that will generate a new item or you can edit an existing item by clicking on that content

00:01:20

This will let you edit all of the content for that item or that testimonial

00:01:25

Each item is an individual testimonial and you simply fill out the information

00:01:29

Start with the picture at the top

00:01:31

You can drag and drop from your computer or you can upload

00:01:34

Once you do that, you can then add a name such as page turner is the name of this person reviewing and leaving this testimonial and below that you would put their signature which could be their

00:01:45

profession, their website, their company or store or whatever it is you want here

00:01:50

She's an author in this case and then below that you would put the main text

00:01:54

Which would appear above the image in the actual view

00:01:58

You can write whatever testimonial it is that was left for you, have someone write testimonials for you, reviewing your product

00:02:04

However, you want to do that, simply put the information right here

00:02:08

You can even schedule this to be published later

00:02:11

Testimonials will be published automatically by default but you can have it set as a draft so that it won't be visible while you're editing it or no index so that it won't be visible by search

00:02:21

engines and web crawlers

00:02:23

You can add buttons as well

00:02:25

There's a variety of different button options that you can choose from

00:02:28

Please watch the buttons tutorial and the buttons widget in order to see how all of those work and you can even add tags, any tags that you create will allow this particular element to be searched

00:02:41

for so you can organize and search by tabs

00:02:44

The SEO open graph URL, this is where you would put your search engine optimization information such as your meta title description and other SEO meta data

00:02:54

That can be in place there

00:02:59

The similar slash nearby items, this would be used to display similar items that you want

00:03:07

You can use this to connect widgets or display items next to each other and the comments will allow you to enable comments

00:03:15

You can turn those on and this will allow users to leave comments for that particular widget

00:03:22

When you're done with writing all of your testimonials and reviews, always remember to save an update and that will create that particular testimonial element then once you're done you would simply go back to the testimonials

00:03:35

either by clicking on the testimonials button at the top there or by clicking the back button down here to go back to this widget page and then from there you would simply add another testimonial by

00:03:49

clicking the button to add a new item to the list once all that's done you can save and then your testimonials are ready to go and that's how simple it is to use the testimonials widget
