Testimonial is a WordPress ability from The Plus Addons for Elementor — usable via Easy MCP AI, which connects Claude, ChatGPT, and any AI assistant to your site.
Install Free Plugin →Testimonial
WriteAdds the The Plus "Testimonial" widget (tp-testimonial-listout) to an Elementor container, displaying a list of customer testimonials.
Requires the The Plus Addons for Elementor plugin (which registers under the 'tpae' ability category) on WordPress 6.9+, with Elementor active. Every ability requires the current user to have the 'edit_posts' capability (and 'edit_post' for the specific post being modified); abilities that create or edit content also verify Elementor and, where relevant, the target The Plus widget are available. A subset of abilities (theme templates, template conditions, dynamic tags, popups, and some custom-code abilities) only register when Elementor Pro is active, and many widget abilities load only in the free plugin when the Pro add-on is inactive.
What it does
The execute_callback tpae_mcp_add_theplus_testimonial_listout_ability checks Elementor is active and the tp-testimonial-listout widget is registered, requires post_id and parent_id, and confirms the target post exists. It loads the post's Elementor element tree, builds settings from style and layout (sanitize_key), merges in any raw settings, and constructs a new widget element with widgetType tp-testimonial-listout. It inserts the widget into the parent container at the given position and saves the Elementor data, returning an error if the parent is not found.
