V6<\/strong> \u2014 Photo hero card: large image on top, dark content section with a quote marker below.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nMore layouts with Pro<\/h4>\n\n
Six additional layouts (V7\u2013V12) \u2014 pastel tilted cards, split-panel hero, masonry wall, featured + grid, spotlight + list, and an editorial big-quote \u2014 are previewed inside the admin and unlocked by the optional Qaiyo Testimonials Pro<\/strong> add-on, which also adds star ratings, a front-end submission form, video testimonials and more.<\/p>\n\nPer-testimonial fields<\/h4>\n\n
Customer name (title), photo (JPG\/PNG\/WebP, max 1 MB), position, company, optional heading, quote\/description, plus card-color controls (used by V4 highlight and V7 background).<\/p>\n\n

Qaiyo ecosystem<\/h4>\n\n
If you also run another Qaiyo plugin that hosts an ecosystem dashboard widget or panel (for example Qaiyo Admin Booster), Qaiyo Testimonials reports a New reviews<\/strong> summary card to it: how many testimonials are waiting for approval, with a direct link to the moderation screen. The integration is a plain WordPress filter \u2014 nothing is loaded and nothing is sent anywhere if no such plugin is installed.<\/p>\n\nMultilingual<\/h4>\n\n
Ships with translations for English, Hungarian, German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), Italian, Russian, Turkish and Polish, with locale variant fallback (e.g. de_AT \u2192 de_DE). Compatible with Polylang, WPML, TranslatePress and Loco Translate.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n- Upload the plugin folder to
\/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code>.<\/li>\n- Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu.<\/li>\n
- Add testimonials under Testimonials in the admin menu.<\/li>\n
- Place the shortcode
[qaiyo_testimonials version=\"v1\"]<\/code> on any page.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\nCan I change colors per shortcode instance?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes \u2014 every appearance setting on the Settings page can be overridden via shortcode attributes.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does V5 support more than 29 testimonials?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo, V5 is limited to the first 29 to keep the avatar grid manageable. Use V1\/V2\/V3 for larger sets.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
1.2.0<\/h4>\n\n\n- New: \"New reviews\" ecosystem card.<\/strong> Qaiyo Testimonials now reports a summary card to any sibling Qaiyo plugin that hosts an ecosystem dashboard widget or panel (for example Qaiyo Admin Booster). The card shows how many testimonials are waiting for approval, plus how many are published, with a direct link to the moderation screen. Nothing is registered and no query runs if no host plugin is present.<\/li>\n
- Developer: two new extension points \u2014 the
qaiyte_eco_card_body<\/code> action (append your own content inside the card) and the qaiyte_has_pro<\/code> filter (reports whether the Pro add-on is active; it never gates free functionality).<\/li>\n- Compliance: the bundled \"Discover Qaiyo\" panel now carries this plugin's own prefix throughout (class
Qaiyte_More_Plugins<\/code>, its page slug, transient, stylesheet handle and registry global), as WordPress.org requires every declared identifier to be plugin-prefixed rather than brand-level.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n1.1.0<\/h4>\n\n
Quality, performance and standards pass (WP Health Kit audit remediation).<\/p>\n\n
\n- Performance: fixed an N+1 query in the shortcode render loop \u2014 testimonial meta is now primed in a single query instead of one query per item. Added
no_found_rows<\/code> (the shortcode never paginates) and skipped the term-cache prime on the render query.<\/li>\n- Performance: the admin testimonial pickers (V8\/V10 featured, Display list) are now bounded instead of loading every post with
posts_per_page => -1<\/code>.<\/li>\n- Theme compatibility: admin CSS no longer uses a bare
input[type=\"color\"]<\/code> selector or !important<\/code> on layout properties; both are now scoped to the plugin's own UI.<\/li>\n- Coding standards: roughly forty inline
style=\"\"<\/code> attributes in admin output were moved to enqueued CSS utility classes; the Display Builder visibility toggles now switch a class instead of relying on jQuery show\/hide.<\/li>\n- Type safety: resolved all PHPStan level 5 argument-type warnings (integers are cast to string before
esc_attr()<\/code> \/ esc_html()<\/code>).<\/li>\n- Housekeeping: canonical
GPLv2 or later<\/code> license header, added the Tested up to<\/code> header, and aligned internal version constants with the plugin header.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n1.0.0<\/h4>\n\n
First public release.<\/p>\n\n

- Semantic HTML (figure \/ blockquote \/ figcaption) with proper itemprop attributes.<\/li>\n
