# Testimonial slider proof

> A testimonial section with three generous quote-and-metric cards, one main card and the next card held visibly at the edge. Needs the companion plugin, which comes with your access; without it the heading is followed by the three testimonials as a plain stack, and without motion they remain a horizontally scrollable native row. States no colour and no font of its own.

Canonical: https://patternpaste.com/pattern/testimonial-slider-proof.html
Section: Testimonials
Access: Included in Pattern Paste access.
Needs: Requires a block theme on WordPress 6.7 to 7.0. Classic themes and page builders are outside our supported setup. Adaptive patterns use the block theme’s colour, spacing and typography presets; styled variations declare their own colours or type.
Also needs: Install the Pattern Paste plugin first, then paste. This section embeds one of its blocks: the plugin comes with your access, downloads from your account, and takes a minute. Paste without it and the section arrives as a plain stack of your headings, text and images, with none of the motion.
Blocks: group, heading, paragraph, patternpaste/content-slider, quote
Keywords: testimonial, quote, metric, slider, proof

Promise: This variation embeds one of our blocks: install the companion plugin, then paste.

## The signature moment: A large customer quote shares its slide with one oversized proof metric

The quote and its result carry equal weight in a roomy card, while a deliberate next-card peek shows that the proof continues.

## Why this is not portfolio slider editorial or hero slider cover

This is text-led and pairs two kinds of evidence inside each card, with no picture at all. The portfolio pattern is image-led and uses its caption as a compact footnote; the hero gives each story a full-bleed photograph and one action.

## What it inherits from your theme

Typeface and palette. The light ground and dark text use the guaranteed base and contrast chains; the rule follows currentColor.

## What it decides for itself

Three slides, an 82% track width, arrow controls, and a quote/metric grid. The display metric and quote are off the theme ladder because their scale collision is the composition.

## What needs the plugin

The plugin adds the horizontal row, arrow and keyboard navigation, and a smooth reader-triggered transition. Without the plugin, the three native Groups form a plain stack; with reduced motion, they remain in the native horizontal scroll-snap row without smooth transitions. There is no autoplay.

## What you change first

1. Replace each quote, person and metric together so the proof remains attributable.
2. Keep the metric short enough to hold one line on a phone.
3. Change the h2 level if this section sits under a different page hierarchy.
4. Reorder or add named Slide groups in List View; AI tools can do the same because every editable part is a native block.

## What is not proved

The example results are illustrative copy, not customer claims.
