Glow Reviews – Smart Feedback & Testimonials

0/5 (0 ratings) 20 active installs Updated Apr 17, 2026

Glow Reviews helps you collect customer feedback and publish approved testimonials with native WordPress tools. Feedback submissions are stored as a custom post type, reviewed in the admin area, and displayed with shortcode-driven grid, slider, or list layouts.

The plugin includes a frontend feedback form, duplicate-email update flow, testimonial moderation tools, image upload support, avatar fallbacks, and shortcode-based display controls. Longer testimonial content can be collapsed with a Read More toggle, while built-in validation, nonce checks, honeypot fields, form timing checks, and rate limiting help keep submissions clean and secure.
