Output a Count or Aggregate Rating of Testimonials

To output a count of testimonials for your visitors or display your aggregate rating for search engines, use the following guide.

• To display a numerical Count of your Testimonials, use the following shortcode where you want the Number to appear:
  

  [testimonials_count]

• To display an aggregate rating of your testimonials (for Google’s crawler), use the show_aggregate_rating attribute:
  

  // Output a count of your testimonials along with their aggregate rating
  [testimonials_count show_aggregate_rating='1']
  
  // Output a count of your testimonials along with their aggregate rating, shown as stars and text
  [testimonials_count show_aggregate_rating='1' show_aggregate_rating_stars='1']
  
  // Output a count of your testimonials along with their aggregate rating, shown as just stars
  [testimonials_count show_aggregate_rating='1' show_aggregate_rating_stars='1' show_aggregate_rating_text='0']

• To display a numerical Count of your Testimonials from a specific category and/or with a specific status, use the status and category attributes:
  

  // display a count of your testimonials in a specific category on the front-end
  // (Be sure to replace the_category_slug with your own Testimonial Category's slug)
  [testimonials_count status='any' category='the_category_slug']
  
  // display a count of your Approved testimonials in a specific category on the front-end
  // (Be sure to replace the_category_slug with your own Testimonial Category's slug)
  [testimonials_count status='publish' category='the_category_slug']
  
  // display a count of your Pending testimonials in a specific category on the front-end
  // (Be sure to replace the_category_slug with your own Testimonial Category's slug)
  [testimonials_count status='pending' category='the_category_slug']
  
  // display a count of your Trashed testimonials in a specific category on the front-end
  // (Be sure to replace the_category_slug with your own Testimonial Category's slug)
  [testimonials_count status='trash' category='the_category_slug']

  Supported parameters for status are publish,pending,draft,future,private,trash,any.

• Note: this Shortcode only displays the numerical count — you will need to add any words yourself. For example, “There are currently [testimonials_count] Testimonials on your website!”
