How to don't display testimonials with Draft/Pending status

I tried everything, not working.
I have 5 testimonials, 3 published, 2 – pending.
But on the page I see all 5 in random rotation

my code is
[testimonials limit=3 paging=false char_limit=0 random=true]

Hi Natpolt,

I am sorry about the troubles.

By default it only displays the testimonials which are published and not the ones with Draft/Pending status. Please check if you have used pre_get_posts anywhere in the code-base which might be doing something like the below code which effects all the queries on front end.

function allow_pending_posts( $qry ) {
    $qry->set( 'post_status', array( 'publish', 'pending' ) );
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'allow_pending_posts' );

If this doesn’t help, please deactivate all other plugins, change the theme to any of the default themes and check.

Thanks !!
