# Manage Testimonials on Discovery Site
## Overview
This article explains how to add, edit, and remove student testimonials in WordPress. Testimonials build trust with prospective students by surfacing verified quotes, success stories, and ratings from past alumni. Once added, they display across key areas of your site — including homepage carousels and course landing pages.
**Tip:** Ensure you have logged into your **WordPress Administration Panel (`/wp-admin`)** with proper Editor or Administrator permissions before proceeding.
### Step-by-Step Implementation
#### Step 1: Open the Testimonials Dashboard
1. Access your WordPress dashboard using your account credentials.
2. From the left-hand navigation sidebar menu, click on the **Testimonials** tab.
3. Click the **Add New Testimonial** button situated near the top of the index directory page.
> 
#### Step 2: Input Student Feedback Details
The testimonial editor will open. Complete the following fields:
- **Title**: Enter the student's full name or professional title (e.g., *Marcus Vance, Lead UX Designer*).
- **Content**: Paste or type the student's exact quote. Keep the quote concise so it is easy to scan.
- **Rating**: In the **Rating** field (displayed as a star selector or numeric input), enter the score provided by the student (e.g., 5 out of 5 stars). This value appears on public-facing review displays and can be updated later from the **All Testimonials** list.
#### Step 3: Attach an Alumni Profile Photo
Adding a high-quality photograph increases visual appeal and authenticity.
1. Locate the **Testimonial Image** options module block on the right-hand side of your screen panel.
2. Click **Add Testimonial Image**.
3. The **Media Library** opens. Select an existing photo or upload a new square portrait image from your computer.
4. **Accessibility Compliance:** Input a clear text string inside the **Alt Text** metadata input box (e.g., *Profile photo of student Marcus Vance*), ensuring compliance with standard web accessibility guidelines for screen readers.
5. Click **Set featured image** to bind the photo to the review row.
> 
#### Step 4: Finalize and Publish
1. Review your text rows for spelling, layout alignment, and rating accuracy.
2. Click the blue **Publish** button located in the upper-right corner of the workspace layout.
The testimonial is now published and will appear on your site in any configured review displays or course landing pages based on your theme settings.
### Auditing or Modifying Existing Reviews
#### How do I edit an active review card?
Navigate from your sidebar directory to **Testimonials \> All Testimonials**. Locate your target student's name row and click **Edit**. Implement your formatting corrections inside the text parameters or change the ranking value and click the blue **Update** button to sync changes live instantly.
#### How do I remove a testimonial from public display?
Go to your master testimonials list view, hover your mouse cursor over the target row entry, and click the red **Trash** link. This pulls the review down from your public marketing catalog blocks and safely shifts the file to an archive bin.
***Note**: Deleting or modifying an informational review tile inside the WordPress storefront changes front-end marketing visibility only. It operates entirely independently of the background learning management engines and will **not** alter any course completions data, student profile tracking, or grading ledger records inside your core LMS player.*
