Description
Caresort Testimonial Slider for Elementor adds a new “Testimonial Slider” widget to Elementor’s free page builder. Build a list of testimonials through a simple repeater, then choose how to display them:
- Carousel – a swipeable, autoplaying slider with arrows and dots
- Grid – a responsive multi-column grid
- Masonry – a Pinterest-style staggered column layout
- List – horizontal cards with photo on one side and content on the other
- Single Card – one featured testimonial, with an optional full-width mode
Features
- Visual “Choose Style” thumbnail picker for layouts — click a preview image instead of picking from a dropdown
- Drag-and-drop testimonial widget with 0-5 star ratings (including half stars)
- 5 layout designs: carousel, grid, masonry, list, single card
- Client photo, name, position/company, and company logo fields
- Full Elementor style controls: colors, typography, spacing, borders, shadows, hover animation toggle

- Responsive column and breakpoint controls
- No external JS libraries – lightweight, dependency-free carousel
