Quick Start Guide
From a fresh install to a live testimonial showcase — in about five minutes.
Once Real Testimonials is installed and activated, getting your first showcase live takes three moves: add a few testimonials, pick how you want to display them, and follow that path's guide. This page points you in the right direction.
Haven't installed it yet?
Head to Installation & Activation first — it covers uploading the plugin, the setup wizard and activating your license. Then come back here.
Step 1: Add a few testimonials
A showcase needs something to show, so start with the content. Go to Real Testimonials → All Testimonials → Add New and create two or three testimonials — a headline, the quote, a star rating and the reviewer's photo are plenty to get going.
The Add New Testimonial guide walks through every field, step by step. And here's the nice part: testimonials are shared across the whole plugin, so whichever display path you pick next, this content works with both.
Step 2: Pick how you'll display them
There are two ways to put testimonials on a page. They read from the same testimonials, so you can switch later — nothing gets locked in. New here? Go with Blocks.
Step 3: Make the plugin yours
Once your showcase is up, take a few minutes in the plugin's own admin area — the Real Testimonials Dashboard. It's where you turn blocks and modules on or off, connect integrations, manage saved templates and tune plugin-wide settings, so the plugin only carries what you actually use.
