Folders for Strong Testimonials
Testimonials come in from forms, emails and old websites. After a few years the list holds hundreds of quotes about different services, offices and clients.
Plathix PRO adds private folders to the testimonials list in wp-admin. Sort quotes by service, office or client and open just the folder you need. Your Views, categories and manual order stay as they are.
Two hundred quotes in one list
All Testimonials shows every quote at once: new and five years old, published and still waiting, for every service you sell.
Strong Testimonials categories work for the site. Views pick testimonials by category, and each category has a public address. A category made only to tidy the list is one more thing to keep away from visitors.
Over a hundred quotes, and you need one of them
People who collect testimonials for years describe the same thing: the list keeps every quote, from every service and office.
Over a hundred testimonials. When a client changes job title or company, someone has to find that one quote.
Different testimonials for different books, and each book page should show only its own.
Seven offices, 179 testimonials, all collected into one place.
Folders sort quotes by service, office or client for your team. Views and categories still decide what visitors see.
Folders that match how you collect quotes
By service
One folder per service, so the next landing page starts with the right quotes.
By office or branch
Each branch keeps its own pile of quotes to read and check. The Views on branch pages keep using your categories.
Waiting for permission
Some clients must say yes before their words go on your site. Keep those quotes as drafts in one folder until they do.
Needs a photo or a name
Collect quotes that still miss a photo, a company name or a star rating, and fix them in one place.
From the old site
Quotes imported from an old website get their own folder. Check them once, then move them on.
The same folder panel as in the Media Library
A folder tree next to the list
The panel sits beside All Testimonials. Click a folder and the list shows only its quotes.
A Folder column
Every row shows its folder; click it to open that folder.
Search inside a folder
Search, status tabs and date filters work inside the open folder.
A link for each folder
The address changes when you open a folder, so you can bookmark it or send it to a teammate.
Your Views never see your folders
| What you do | What changes | What stays as it is |
|---|---|---|
| Put a testimonial in a folder | Its Plathix folder | The quote, its category and its status |
| Rename or move a folder | The folder tree in wp-admin | Every View and shortcode on your pages |
| Change the manual order | The order Strong Testimonials uses | Every folder and what is in it |
| Trash a testimonial, then restore it | Its Trash state | Its folder: it comes back to the same place |
| Turn Plathix PRO off | The list looks like plain WordPress | Your folders wait in the database and come back |
Folders have no URLs and never appear on the site.
