• I’ve been working on a redesign of my own site and decided early on to spin up my own testimonials functionality using a CPT and ACF.

    I’m nearing completion of the project (yay!) and, this morning, remembered that I wanted to display random testimonials in the sidebar. So, I ask myself, how to go about displaying a couple of random custom post type with it’s associated fields, in my sidebar, using a widget.

    I assumed I was going to be spending this afternoon learning how to make this happen – and while I certainly don’t have anything against learning, right now I just needed to get this done quickly.

    Using this plugin and a custom template I was able to complete this task in under 30 minutes, which included making a custom template and styling the output.

    The custom templates are super handy as well, as I was able to make my own template, grab the bits that I needed, and wrap them in block quote structure with hooks for my own CSS.

    This plugin saved me a lot of time today, which I can now use to get other things done – and now I have the plugins codebase to reference when I’m ready to go back and see how this is done.

    Thanks a ton for this amazingly useful plugin, you really made my day. 🙂
