I found this plugin very easy to use and easy to install. Great job and thank you!
Because there are so many developers who do not consider user workflow or just blatantly misrepresent their plugins capabilities I judge a plugin based on what I have to do to make it work. this plugin requires multiple tutorials. So i can not validate what it does or does not do because anything that requires that much guidance was not built for the audience its being delivered to. This is a review plugin. It should be a one click install and attach it to everything on the site with a toggle slider to turn it on/off per site owners requirements. the actual features should be nothing more than text fields to fill in. Why those type of parameters would require multiple tutorials is exactly why this is an unknown plugin without much of a following.
Free, a lot of options, easy to use. I recommend
Using in WordPress RTL language, the form setting page won’t allow seeing the sub-menus, because this page layout is not designed for systems of languages that are aligned to the right.
In addition, though the plugin looks solid, it lacks of many features found in similar plugins, like to allow only logged-in users to send testimonial, and to identify the user username and email and placed them automatically in the end user form.
Many of Admin graphic icons (i/e/ rating stars, tabs titles) are shown as empty squares and not showing the expected icons.
The dark parts of the testimonials premade themes has dark default font color, and it’s not clear where the font color changed.
Changing the Testimonials Styles of the Testimonial Slider seems not to have any effect on the Front End, and the Front End does not show more than 1 column.
The Center style of the Carousel Layout preset is showing one centered enlarged testimonial, but instead of sliding the testimonials one by one and stop by centering the next testimonial, it slides 2 times of the testimonials’ length that are shown on screen, so each auto or manual sliding is moving testimonials that the user even not exposed to them,
The name “Carousel” layout Preset is actually behaving like as what is known a “Slider”, and what is called Slider, actually behaves like what is known as “News Ticker” in similar plugins. That’s confusing.
Clicking the slider navigation arrows causing the testimonials (checked when set to 2 columns set on screen at a time) to slide without stopping when the testimonials frames are aligned with the website width, so a testimonial can stop when just half of it is shown horizontally.
When using a14″ Laptop, is shows testimonials in 3 columns in the Front End, though I set the Laptop settings to show 2 columns, and 3 columns setting is used only for desktop and Large desktop.
It’s a cool plugin you can customize and it looks smooth.
