Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Show Thumbtack business reviews on your WordPress site — in a beautiful review slider or grid.

WP Thumbtack Review Slider helps contractors, handymen, landscapers, cleaners, and other local service pros turn Thumbtack client reviews into on-site testimonials and social proof. Reviews are downloaded once (with reviewer avatars and star ratings), stored in your WordPress database, and served from your own server for fast page loads — no external calls on every visit.

Perfect for contractor websites, service landing pages, and local business sites. Each review can display the Thumbtack logo so visitors know the feedback is verified social proof from Thumbtack.
