How to add testimonials with an image?

Question

Does anybody have an idea how to add testimonials with an image in WordPress? Is there is any plugin that fulfills my requirement? I searched but did not find any. It must support PHP version 4.4.9.

Answer 1

Make a new category called Testimonials then, in your theme folder add a new file called testimonials.php.

Add this in the newly created file:

<div id="testimonials">
    <?php $args = array('caller_get_posts' => 1, 'post_type' => 'testimonials', 'post_status' => 'publish', 'posts_per_page' => 5);
    query_posts($args);
    if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); 
    $image = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'testimonial-image', true);
    ?>

        <div class="testimonail">
            <img src="<?php echo $image; ?>" width="" height="" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" />
            <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
            <?php the_content(); ?>
        </div>

    <?php endwhile; else : endif; ?>
</div>

Then add where do you want the testimonials to show. Example footer.php

Now you can add testimonials by simply adding a new post and fill it under the Testimonials category. As for the image, make a new custom field called testimonial-image and for the value add the path to the image (ex: http://example.com/image.png).

And you are good to go.
