Reviewfic – Testimonial Slider, Testimonial Grid & Customer Reviews

Reviewfic is a lightweight but powerful WordPress testimonial and review plugin. Whether you are collecting client feedback for a portfolio, showcasing product reviews on an eCommerce store, or aggregating ratings from Google, Trustpilot, G2, and Capterra onto one page — Reviewfic gives you everything you need with zero coding required.

Reviews are managed as a native WordPress custom post type, making them easy to add, edit, organise, and display anywhere on your site using a simple shortcode.

Why Choose Reviewfic?

Most testimonial plugins are either too bloated or too basic. Reviewfic sits in the sweet spot: a clean, focused feature set that covers what real WordPress sites actually need — star ratings, reviewer photos, platform badges, responsive grid layouts, and a visual shortcode builder — without the page-builder lock-in or premium paywalls.

Core Features

Star Ratings
Add a 1–5 star rating to every review with half-star precision. A live visual star preview updates as you type so you always know exactly what will render on the frontend.

Reviewer Avatars
Upload a circular profile photo for each reviewer directly from the WordPress media library. Avatars display next to the reviewer’s name and company on each card. Show or hide them per shortcode using show_avatar="yes" or show_avatar="no".

Review Source Badges
Tag each review with the platform it came from — Google, Trustpilot, G2, Capterra, Facebook, Yelp, Amazon, or any custom platform you add. A color-coded badge renders automatically on each card so visitors instantly know where the review originated. The source list is managed as a WordPress taxonomy under Reviews → Sources, so you can add, rename, or remove platforms any time without touching code.

Responsive Grid Layout
Display reviews in a 1, 2, 3, or 4 column grid. The layout collapses gracefully to a single column on tablets and mobile devices automatically.

Visual Shortcode Generator
Build your shortcode visually from the Reviews → Shortcode Generator page. Filter by category, source, and number of columns, toggle avatars on or off, set a max item count, and copy the generated shortcode to your clipboard in one click.

Review Categories
Organise reviews into categories using a built-in taxonomy. Display only a specific category on any page using the category parameter.

Source Filtering
Filter any shortcode output to show only reviews from a specific platform. Create dedicated pages like “Our Google Reviews” or embed a Trustpilot-only widget in your sidebar — all with a single shortcode attribute.
