Add each customer quote once, with who said it, an optional photo and a star rating. Every Testimonials section on your site shows them, featured ones first. **Who can do this:** Contributors, Editors, Admins and Owners can add and change testimonials. Publishing them needs an Editor, an Admin or an Owner. ## Before you start * Ask your customer before you quote them, and use their words as they wrote them. * To show testimonials on a page, add a **Testimonials** section too. See [Testimonials](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/guides/sections/testimonials.md). ## Add a testimonial **1. Open the list** Press ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows) and choose **Testimonials** under **Manage**. ![The Testimonials manager with 5 entries, its Author, Role, Rating and Featured columns, and the New Testimonial button ringed with badge 1.](https://mintcdn.com/fetchski-attract-api/VHp0B0s1nBbMi7JQ/images/cms/guides/content/testimonials/guides-content-testimonials-manager-light.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=VHp0B0s1nBbMi7JQ\&q=85\&s=4221063662733cb324dc5580f1bdebdd) The Testimonials manager, with author, rating and featured at a glance. **2. Start a new one** Choose **New Testimonial**. The editor opens on the **Basics** tab. **3. Fill in the basics** * **Title**: a name for the entry in your list, such as "Maya, puppy class". Visitors don't see it. * **Quote**: the testimonial itself, in the customer's words. This is the only part a testimonial must have. * **Author name**: who said it, such as "Maya R." * **Author role / context**: an optional second line under the name, such as "Puppy class, spring 2026" or "Daycare member since 2023". * **Rating (1–5)**: the star rating. It starts at 5, and shows only when the section's **Show star rating** is on. * **Featured**: put this testimonial first. A Testimonials section can also show only featured ones. ![The testimonial editor on the Basics tab: Title "Maya, puppy class", a 2-sentence quote about her puppy's first class, Author name "Maya R.", Author role / context "Puppy class.](https://mintcdn.com/fetchski-attract-api/VHp0B0s1nBbMi7JQ/images/cms/guides/content/testimonials/guides-content-testimonials-basics-light.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=VHp0B0s1nBbMi7JQ\&q=85\&s=b16b5239a1d5c0ee65e8102e637f10b2) The Basics tab holds the quote and who said it. **4. Add a photo and a link (optional)** Open the **Details** tab. * **Author photo**: a headshot from your media library. Without one, the card shows the author's first initial. * **Author photo URL**: use this only if the photo already lives on another website. An uploaded photo always wins. * Paste the address of the photo itself, not of the page it's on. It usually ends in ".jpg", ".png" or ".webp". * To get it, right-click the photo in your browser and choose **Copy Image Address** (**Copy Image Link** in some browsers). * If you're not sure, leave it empty. * **Source link**: a link to the full story, such as the original review. The section shows it as a "Read the full story" link. You can rename that link in the section. **5. Save it** To finish later, open **More save options** (the arrow next to the main button) and choose **Save Draft**. When it's ready, choose **Publish** to show it on your site. Contributors choose **Submit** instead, and an Editor publishes it. ## The order they show in Featured testimonials come first. The rest follow in alphabetical order of their **Title**. To move one up, mark it **Featured** or give it a title that sorts earlier. ## Use a different typeface on one card The **Fonts** tab has **Typeface for this card**. Use it to set one testimonial's card in another typeface. Leave it empty to follow the section and your site fonts. Add a row, and under **Apply to** choose **Body text** for the quote and the author's name and role, or **Everything in this section** for the whole card. See [Typography](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/guides/site-design/typography.md). ## Try it with sample testimonials Admins and Owners can fill a new site with 6 sample testimonials, to try out the Testimonials layouts. **1. Open Testimonials in the command palette** **2. Choose Seed Demo Testimonials** You'll see "Seeded 6 demo testimonials." The samples are published straight away, so any Testimonials section already on a live page shows them to visitors at once. Each sample quote starts with "DEMO TESTIMONIAL:", so they're easy to spot. They're deleted on their own the moment you publish your first real testimonial. To remove them sooner, archive them in the manager. See [Archive, restore and delete](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/guides/content/archive-restore-delete.md). ## What happens next A testimonial appears in every Testimonials section as soon as it's published. Visitors never see drafts. While you edit a page, you also see draft testimonials, so you can check them in place. ## Troubleshooting > [accordion] A testimonial doesn't show > > * Is it published? Drafts show only while you edit. > * Is **Featured testimonials only** on in the section? Then only featured ones show. > * Does the section limit how many show? Raise **Maximum testimonials** on the section's **Testimonials** tab. It starts at 6. > [accordion] The stars, photo or role don't show > > The section decides which details appear. Open the Testimonials section's editor and turn on **Show star rating**, **Show author photo** or **Show author role / context**. Star ratings are off by default. See [Testimonials](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/guides/sections/testimonials.md). > [accordion] Could not seed demo testimonials. > > The samples couldn't be added.
