Testimonial Grid

Step: 1 Create new testimonials

The Divi Plus plugin after installation creates a DP Testimonials menu in the WordPress Dashboard with the following options,

1. All Testimonials
2. Add New
3. DP Testimonial Categories

To add a testimonial grid on a webpage, you have to create testimonials first. The following steps can help you create one,

1. Go to the DP Testimonials >> Add New.
2. On the next window, It will open up a text editor similar to the post and page. Here, in the Add Title field input your testimonial title.
3. After this, input your review in the content field area.
4. Then, create a new category by tapping the Add New Testimonial Category below the Publish block.
5. After this, go to the Testimonial Meta Fields under the content area. And input the details in all the fields as required.
6. For the author’s image, you can set it manually in the Testimonial Author Image block under the DP Testimonial Categories by clicking the Set Testimonial Author Image. Or you can enter the Gravatar Account email. The testimonial module will fetch the author’s image from there.
7. After completing all the fields, Publish your testimonial.
8. Likewise, you can easily create multiple testimonials in no time.

Step: 2 Create testimonial categories

To display testimonials, it’s not necessary that you create categories. However, it would help you manage your testimonials on a webpage preferentially. You can create testimonial categories when creating a testimonial, as mentioned above in step 4. Alternatively, you can create & manage the testimonial categories as follows,

1. Go to the DP Testimonials >> DP Testimonial Categories.
2. Here, you can create a new category by entering the required details under the Add New Testimonial Category labels like Name, Slug, Parent Testimonial Category, and Description.
3. Once done with all the details, click Add New Testimonial Category.

If you want to edit a previously created category,

1. Simply click the Edit link under the category name.
2. And make changes according to your needs.
3. Update.
