## Description

Happy customers are your best marketing — but asking for testimonials, copying them
from emails and keeping a page up to date takes time. Praisvia turns it into a simple
loop:

 1. **Collect** — add the Testimonial Form block to any page and share the link.
 2. **Approve** — new testimonials wait in your dashboard. Approve them with one click
    and star your favourites.
 3. **Show** — display them anywhere with the Wall of Love and Rating Summary blocks.

Praisvia is a self-hosted alternative to paid testimonial services: no account, 
no monthly bill, no external requests. Your testimonials stay in your own WordPress
database.

#### Three blocks

 * **Testimonial Form** — name, optional role or company, optional private email,
   an accessible 1–5 star rating, the testimonial and a publication consent checkbox.
   Works with and without JavaScript, and on cached pages.
 * **Wall of Love** — approved testimonials as a masonry wall, a grid or a list.
   Choose the number, order (newest, highest rating or random), minimum rating and
   whether to show only featured testimonials.
 * **Rating Summary** — the average rating with stars and the number of testimonials,
   for example “4.9 ★★★★★ from 127 testimonials”.

All blocks use your theme’s fonts and colors and support block color, spacing and
typography settings.

#### Moderation made easy

 * Every new testimonial waits for your approval — nothing is published automatically.
 * Approve from the list with one click, and star the best testimonials to feature
   them.
 * A count bubble in the menu shows how many testimonials are waiting.
 * Optional email notification for each new testimonial.
 * Add testimonials you received elsewhere by hand.

#### Spam protection without CAPTCHAs

 * A hidden honeypot field and a signed time token stop most bots.
 * A per-visitor hourly limit, using only a temporary salted hash of the IP address.
 * Your own Disallowed Comment Keys (Settings  Discussion) are respected.
 * No third-party CAPTCHA, no cookies, no tracking.

#### Privacy first

 * Consent to publish is required and its time is stored with each testimonial.
 * Email addresses are optional and never shown.
 * Testimonials can be exported and erased with the core Export/Erase Personal Data
   tools, and suggested privacy policy text is included.
 * No data ever leaves your site.

#### Accessible

The form uses real labels, a keyboard-friendly star rating, clear error messages
connected to their fields and a status region for screen readers. Star ratings have
text alternatives everywhere.

## FAQ

### Are testimonials published automatically?

No. Every testimonial sent through the form is saved as pending and appears only
after you approve it.

### Does it work with page caching?

Yes. The form does not depend on login sessions and refreshes its security token
when the page loads, so cached pages keep working.

### Does it work without JavaScript?

Yes. With JavaScript the form sends without reloading the page. Without it, the 
form is posted normally and the visitor returns to the same page with a confirmation.

### Can I add testimonials I received by email?

Yes. Go to Praisvia  Add Testimonial, enter the name, the text, the rating and the
role, then publish.

### Can I import reviews from Google or other sites?

No. Praisvia does not connect to external services, so you stay in control of what
you publish.

### Does it add review rich snippets?

No. Search engines do not show star snippets for reviews a business publishes about
itself, so Praisvia does not output review schema that could look misleading.

### What happens when I delete the plugin?

Settings are removed. Your testimonials are kept unless you enable “Delete all testimonials
and settings when the plugin is deleted” in Praisvia  Settings.
