This is a detailed tutorial on creating a custom testimonial setup using custom post types and meta fields to dynamically generate testimonials on a website.
The tutorial covers the following key steps:
1. Creating a Custom Post Type: Creating a custom post type for testimonials using Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), including setting up the necessary labels and ensuring it supports titles, editors, and featured images.
2. Adding Custom Meta Fields: The tutorial continues adding custom fields for the author’s name and position to the testimonial post type, using ACF to define these fields and their settings.
3. Implementing the Testimonial Layout: Using the Bricks Builder, I’ll show you how to design a testimonial layout that dynamically pulls in the title, content, featured image, author’s name, and position from the custom post type and meta fields.
The tutorial emphasizes the flexibility of this approach, noting that other tools like Generate Blocks, Kadence Blocks Pro, or Elementor Pro could also be used.
4. Using Dynamic Data and Query Loops: The tutorial explains how to use dynamic data and query loops to display the testimonials, including setting up a system to randomize which testimonials are shown and how to refresh the displayed testimonials after a certain time.
5. Saving and Reusing the Template: Finally, I show how to save the testimonial block as a template for easy reuse throughout the site, ensuring that the dynamic content can be efficiently managed and updated.
The tutorial concludes by emphasizing the ease and efficiency of using custom post types and dynamic content to manage and display testimonials, encouraging viewers to explore further applications of these techniques.
