Frequently Asked Questions
Most testimonial plugins were built for the classic editor and use shortcodes or custom page builders. Groundworx Testimonial is built entirely with native Gutenberg blocks, giving you a modern, flexible approach that works with block themes.
Yes. It works with any WordPress theme that supports the block editor. For best results, use with a block-based theme that supports theme.json.
It’s designed for Gutenberg, but the testimonial post type can be accessed by most page builders. The blocks themselves are Gutenberg-native.
Yes. Use the individual component blocks (Quote, Author, Citation, Photo) to build custom layouts, or use the complete Testimonial block and style it with theme.json or custom CSS.
Yes. Groundworx Testimonial registers its own testimonial post type with custom fields (quote, author, citation, photo).
Use the Query Loop block to pull in testimonials from the CPT. Add the Testimonial block (or individual field blocks) inside the loop, and each post will render automatically.

Groundworx Testimonial is built for block themes using theme.json. In classic PHP themes, styling and block controls may not behave as expected.
Schema markup helps search engines understand your testimonials and can display them as rich results in search. This builds trust before visitors even click through to your site.
Use the Query Loop block to pull testimonials, then add them to a carousel block (like Groundworx Carousel). Or use custom CSS/JavaScript for slider behavior.
