Hello Divi enthusiasts, Ken from Divi Supreme!
A client emails you a lovely new review on a Tuesday morning. You open the builder, find the row of testimonials, duplicate a module, retype the quote, retype the name, hunt down a photo, and save. Then you remember the same quotes sit on the pricing page and the about page as well, so you do the whole thing twice more. Three weeks later nobody can remember which page has the current set.
Divi’s own Testimonial module is a tidy little thing and it does its job well. Elegant Themes’ documentation for it lists exactly what it holds, which is an author name, a job title, a company, some body text and a photo. One module carries one quote, and there is no star rating field anywhere in it. So a wall of ten reviews is ten modules you typed out by hand, and an average score is a number you work out yourself and write into a heading.
Our new Supreme Testimonials module takes a different view. It treats reviews as content you own rather than text you paste into a layout. Write them in the builder if you like, or keep them in a library, collect them from visitors on the page, or read the ones already sitting in WooCommerce and your comments. Now available in Divi Supreme Pro 5.0.66.
What Is Supreme Testimonials?
It is a parent and child pair, the same shape you already know from our carousels and tabs. The parent decides where reviews come from, how the cards are arranged, and what summary chrome sits above them. Each Testimonial Item child is one review card.
A card holds a good deal more than a quote. There is an author, a role, a company, an avatar, a rating from 0 to 5 in half steps, a date, the quote itself as rich text, an optional product photo, and an optional video URL that opens in a popup when a visitor clicks it. Set the rating to 0 on any card and the stars simply disappear from that one.
Above the cards, the module works out the average score and a rating histogram for you, both switched on by default. That is the part Divi has never been able to do, because it has never had a rating to count.
Your Reviews Stop Living Inside One Page
This is the change that matters most. Reviews can live under Divi Supreme → Testimonials as their own content in WordPress, with author, role, company, rating, date, source and video URL stored as proper fields. Point any Testimonials module at the library and it loads them.
So the new review that landed on Tuesday gets added once, in one place, and every page showing that set picks it up. Fix a typo in a quote and it is fixed everywhere. Nothing is a copy of anything.
One rule worth learning on day one. A library review stays hidden on the frontend until you click Approve, and publishing it in the editor is not enough on its own. It catches people out the first time, and it exists so that nothing reaches a live page without you deciding it should.
You can also tag reviews and load only the ones you want. Give a query the slugs you care about and the module filters the set down, which is how you put the agency reviews on the agency page and the shop reviews on the shop page from a single library. If you have read our Supreme Table post, the idea will feel familiar, because the table library works the same way.
Let Visitors Write the Review Themselves
Turn on Show collect form and the module puts a review form on the page, underneath the cards. A visitor gives a name, an email and a review, and can optionally add a star rating, a company and a consent tick if you have asked for one.
The submission does not appear on your site. It lands in the library and waits under Divi Supreme → Testimonials until you approve it, and the visitor sees a thank-you message saying their review is waiting for review. Email addresses are stored so you can reply, and they never show on the frontend.
That turns social proof from something you chase into something that arrives. Put the form at the bottom of a project page or a thank-you page and the reviews collect themselves, with you still holding the final say over every word that goes live. It is the same thinking behind the entries list in Contact Form Pro, where the point is that nothing a visitor sends you gets lost.
The Reviews You Have Already Collected
Plenty of sites are already sitting on good reviews that nobody has put on a landing page. Supreme Testimonials reads two of those sources directly.
- WooCommerce reviews pull in your approved product reviews, either from one product by ID or from every product at once.
- WordPress comments show approved comments from the current page or from any post ID you give it.
Both are read-only. They display your existing reviews without copying them into the library, so WooCommerce stays the single source of truth for product reviews and nothing drifts out of sync. Each query source takes a count from 1 to 50, an order by date, rating, name or random, and a minimum rating so a three-star review does not have to headline your homepage. Comments have no rating to filter on, so that control sensibly hides itself.
Where a Wall of Reviews Earns Its Place
- Pricing pages. A grid of rated reviews with an average score sitting above them answers the question every visitor is silently asking before they pick a plan.
- WooCommerce shops. Put approved product reviews on a category or landing page without touching the product data itself.
- Project and case study pages. Show the reviews for that job, then invite the next client to leave one with the collect form on the same page.
- Video testimonials. Add a YouTube, Vimeo or hosted video URL to a card and it opens in a popup, which is a lot more persuasive than a paragraph.
- Headers and footers. A slow marquee of short quotes running across the top of a long page keeps proof in view without taking up a section.
Five Ways to Arrange the Same Set
The layout is a single dropdown, and switching it never touches your content. The same reviews rearrange themselves.
- Grid is the default, with three columns on desktop dropping to two and then one, plus optional equal-height cards.
- List stacks them full width, which suits long, detailed reviews.
- Carousel gives you a slider with autoplay, pause on hover, infinite loop, arrows and dots.
- Masonry packs cards of different lengths together without the ragged bottom edge a grid gives you.
- Marquee scrolls quotes past in a ticker, and it borrows the behaviour from our Marquee module, so you get hover pause, edge fade and a pause when it scrolls off screen.
Above the cards you can show the average rating and the histogram, add filters so visitors narrow by rating, source or tag without a page reload, and put a small source label on each card when you are mixing library reviews with WooCommerce ones. When more than one of those blocks is on, you drag them into the order you want, so the form can sit above the reviews or below them.
Every option is covered in detail in the Supreme Testimonials documentation, and the per-card fields have their own page for the Testimonial Item child.
Stars in Google Search, With One Honest Caveat
Switch on Enable JSON-LD and the module writes review schema into the page, which is what can put star ratings next to your result in Google. Pick the item type being reviewed, such as Product, SoftwareApplication, Book, Course or Event, and name it.
Now the caveat, because this one is worth being straight about. Only mark up reviews you collected yourself. Schema on quotes lifted from somewhere else is exactly the sort of thing Google acts on. We have also left LocalBusiness and Organization in the list but deliberately send no markup for them, because Google stopped treating self-serving reviews of your own business as eligible. Choosing one of those simply outputs nothing rather than quietly shipping markup that could hurt you.
Each card carries its own Include in schema toggle, on by default, so you can keep a review on the page while leaving it out of the markup.
Google, Facebook and Yelp Are Coming
The question we expect most is whether it pulls in Google reviews, so here is the honest answer. Not yet. Google, Facebook, Yelp and Trustpilot are on the way, and the content source list was built from the start so those adapters can slot in beside the ones already there. When they land, pointing a module at your Google reviews will be the same single dropdown you use today for WooCommerce.
Until then the four sources shipping now cover a lot of ground, and anything you build with them keeps working exactly as it is when the new sources arrive. We will announce them here and update the documentation the day they ship.
How to Enable It
- In your WordPress dashboard, go to Divi Supreme Pro → Modules and switch on Testimonials. The Divi Supreme → Testimonials admin menu stays hidden until you do.
- Open a page in the Divi 5 Visual Builder and insert Supreme Testimonials.
- Edit the starter card, or add more with Add Testimonial Item.
- To use the library instead, set Content source to Testimonials library and remember to approve each review before it shows.
Why It’s Worth Using
Social proof is usually the last thing a visitor reads before they decide, and on most Divi sites it is the part that goes stale first, because updating it means opening the builder on three different pages. Supreme Testimonials moves reviews out of the layout and into your content, where they can be written once, approved once and shown anywhere. Along the way you get the star ratings and the average score Divi has never offered, a form that collects new reviews for you, and a straight line to the reviews already sitting in your shop.
It is included in Divi Supreme Pro, alongside the other 67 modules and 15 extensions, with no per-site limit and nothing extra to buy.
