Enjoying Testimonials?

If the plugin saved you an afternoon, a review on WordPress.org helps the next person find it. It takes a minute, and for a small team it makes a real difference.

External services

This plugin’s admin screens load two webfonts, Roboto and Lato, from Google Fonts, and the plugin icon shown in its admin header from WordPress.org’s own asset host. Both are requested inside wp-admin only, on this plugin’s own pages. Neither is used on your public site.

• bPlugins authorisation service (api.bplugins.com) — contacted only when you press “Connect with Facebook” on the Review Sources screen, and never otherwise. It performs the Facebook login on your behalf and returns your Page access token to your server. What is sent is a random single-use key generated by your site; what comes back is stored in your own database. No request is made unless you press the button, and removing the connection stops it entirely. Privacy Policy
• Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com, fonts.gstatic.com) — serves the Roboto and Lato webfonts used by the plugin dashboard, Submissions and Poll screens. The request sends what any web request sends: your IP address, browser and operating system. Nothing about your site, your content or your visitors is sent. Terms | Privacy Policy
• WordPress.org plugin API (api.wordpress.org) — the Our Plugins tab of the plugin dashboard asks WordPress.org for the list of plugins published by bPlugins, so it can show their icons, versions and ratings. The request names bPlugins as the author and sends nothing about your site. Privacy Policy
• WordPress.org plugin assets (ps.w.org) — serves this plugin’s own icon image, shown beside the plugin name in its admin header. Privacy Policy
• Live demo previews (bblockswp.com) — the Demo & Help page’s Live Demo cards load each layout’s preview inside an iframe from bPlugins’ own demo hosting, only when you open that page and click a demo. No data about your site is sent. Privacy Policy

On your public site, the Video Testimonials block embeds YouTube or Vimeo only if you enter a YouTube or Vimeo URL yourself, and only after a visitor clicks play. A self-hosted MP4 makes no external request at all. YouTube Privacy Policy | Vimeo Privacy Policy

Developers

Every testimonial block on a page contributes to one consolidated Schema.org JSON-LD document, printed once in the footer. Placeholder testimonials that have never been edited are excluded, and a testimonial shown twice on the same page is only counted once.

Turn the markup off entirely — for example when an SEO plugin already outputs review markup:

add_filter( 'bpbtb_schema_enabled', '__return_false' );

Name the thing being reviewed (defaults to the site name):

add_filter( 'bpbtb_schema_item_name', function () { return 'My Product'; } );

Change the schema.org type wrapping the reviews (defaults to Product):

add_filter( 'bpbtb_schema_item_type', function () { return 'Service'; } );

Cap how many reviews go into the document (defaults to 50):

add_filter( 'bpbtb_schema_max_reviews', function () { return 20; } );

Reshape the finished document:

add_filter( 'bpbtb_schema_data', function ( $data, $reviews ) { return $data; }, 10, 2 );

Exclude further blocks from contributing reviews:

add_filter( 'bpbtb_schema_excluded_blocks', function ( $blocks ) { $blocks[] = 'bptmb/testimonials-hero'; return $blocks; } );
