Tired of the same old boring testimonial boxes that come pre-packed with Divi? Here are a few tweaks I came up with today.

I offer many various services so I wanted to make it easy for someone looking for specific testimonies. So the first thing I did was create the testimonial modules on my testimonial page. If you are not sure how to do this, you can find a great video tutorial on the Divi Module by Elegant Themes right here.

Once this has been completed, I go into each module and give them unique classes based on the different types of categories I want to differentiate. In this case I used the following classes:

testimonial-bookkeeping

testimonial-web

testimonial-business

 

class

 

The next step is to create an image that I can use in the background. I use Fireworks and Photoshop for most of my image editing. In this case I created 3 semi-transparent images with the category names in the upper left hand corner.

Be sure to make the background of the image transparent as you will be adding a background color to your testimonial module via CSS and not the image.

These are the 3 png files I created and upload via the “Media” section on my WordPress admin.

Now for the magic. To bring it all together, just add this CSS code to your ePanel Custom CSS box that comes with Divi or your child theme style sheet as I prefer.

 

	/*Testimonial Header*/
		.et_pb_testimonial_description {padding:10px;}
		.testimony-accounting {
			background-color:#e9f0e5; 
			padding:10px; 
			border-radius:20px;
			background-image: url("https://quiroz.co/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/testimonial-bookkeeping.png"); 
			background-repeat: no-repeat; }
		.testimony-web {
			background-color:#EBEFFF;
			padding:10px; 
			border-radius:20px; 
			background-image: url("https://quiroz.co/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/testimonial-web-design.png"); 
			background-repeat: no-repeat;}
		.testimony-business {
			background-color:#e9d8ed; 
			padding:10px; 
			border-radius:20px;
			background-image: url("https://quiroz.co/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/testimonial-business.png"); 
			background-repeat: no-repeat; }

 

You will need to replace the background image url’s with your specific background image url. Feel free to download and use my 3 background images freely on your own website if you like.

The end result should look just like this.
