How to Effortlessly Add Testimonials to Your WordPress Site with Kadence Blocks

Got some amazing feedback from your audience? Whether it's about your blog, your course, or your membership, good testimonials are pure gold. They build trust, boost credibility, and can even help increase conversions. But it's not enough to just collect them—you've got to display them in a way that makes them shine.

In this post, we’re diving into how you can effortlessly add testimonials to your WordPress site using Kadence Blocks. With just a few clicks, you'll have a stunning layout that makes those reviews pop.

Why Testimonials Matter

We all rely on recommendations. Whether it's choosing a restaurant or signing up for an online course, other people's opinions matter. Testimonials provide proof that your product, service, or blog delivers value.

Instead of just telling people, “Hey, I'm awesome!”—let your audience do the talking for you. That's why displaying testimonials in a clear, stylish way is key.

Adding a Testimonial Block with Kadence Blocks

So, how do you showcase a killer testimonial on your WordPress site using Kadence Blocks? It’s easy. Let's break it down step by step:

Step 1: Insert a Testimonial Block

First, create or open the page where you want to add your testimonials. Add a new block and select the “Testimonials” block from the Kadence Block options.

Boom—you’ve just inserted a fully styled testimonial block in seconds, ready for some content.

Step 2: Customize the Text

Once the testimonial block is set up, it’s super easy to tweak the content. Just click directly on the block and:

• Add the testimonial: Copy and paste or type in the testimonial you want to display.
• Add the name: Insert the name of the person who gave the testimonial. For example, Jane Doe.
• Add optional details: You can also include their title or occupation (e.g., CEO of YourCo).

Step 3: Add a Picture

Want to go the extra mile and make it even more personal? Add a photo of the person giving the testimonial. Just click the image placeholder and upload a picture of them. This adds a human touch and makes the testimonial feel even more genuine.

Step 4: Choose a Layout

Kadence gives you multiple styles to choose from so the testimonial layout fits perfectly within your site’s overall design. You can easily switch between:

• Cards: A classic, boxed layout.
• Bubble: Gives you that speech bubble effect.
• Image in Content: Displays a picture alongside the testimonial.
• Basic: A clean, minimalist look.

You can even arrange multiple testimonials into a grid or a carousel depending on how many reviews you want to show at once.

Step 5: Adjust Design Elements

Still not satisfied? Kadence Blocks provide a ton of customization options to make sure everything looks just right:

• Background color: Change it to something different from your headline to make it stand out.
• Quotation marks: Want those fancy quotation marks? Add them with a click and choose their color.
• Font: Adjust both the font and size for the testimonial text and the person's details.
• Star ratings: If your user has given you 5 stars, you can display them right next to their testimonial. You can even change the color of the stars.

What If You Don’t Have a Picture?

Don’t sweat it if your client or audience member doesn’t have a photo to share. Just remove the image from the block. You can also hide their occupation or title if that’s not relevant. The block still looks amazing without those extra details.

Wrapping it All Up: Save and Preview

Once you're happy with everything, hit Save. Now, give your page a quick preview. Kadence Blocks are designed to provide clean, professional layouts that are mobile-responsive, so don’t worry—your testimonial will look great on both desktop and mobile.

If the styling fits your brand and the testimonial rings true, you’re good to go!
