Implementing testimonials

You can use the Testimonials shortcode and widget to nicely showcase some kind words from your clients or partners in a dynamic carousel.

Step #1: Create the testimonials

From your admin panel, go to Testimonials > Add new.
The edit page is quite similar to regular blog posts, except that content is not handled in the same manner.
Add a title (for your own reference, the title won’t appear on the front end)
Fill the form and add the actual testimonial in the “content” box.
Note: The URL is optional, you can use it to create a link to your client’s site or just leave it blank.
If you have a picture, avatar or logo for the client, upload it as a featured image
Rince and repeat for every nice comment you want to show off!

Step #2b: Use the widget to display the testimonials carousel in a sidebar

Simply drop the “IceFit testimonials” widget to your sidebar, and give it the title you want (i.e. “Testimonials”, or “What they say” etc.). The widget will automatically generate a carousel rotating the testimonials you added in step #1.
