Quotation marks showing again

  • Hi,

    It seems after every update the quotation marks reappear!

    I know last time it was the ‘<q>’ tag which fixed things but I have selected this and also checked Hide built-in quotes? but still getting the quotes.

    Most times I have to go into the

    testimonials-widget.css

    file and change both these lines from

    .testimonials-widget-testimonial .close-quote:after {
	content: '\201D';
}

.testimonials-widget-testimonial .open-quote:before {
	content: '\201C';
}

    to 

    .testimonials-widget-testimonial .close-quote:after {
	content: none;
}

.testimonials-widget-testimonial .open-quote:before {
	content: none;
}

    Should I really have to do this each time there is an upgrade or is there something I am missing in the settings?

    Many thanks and keep up the great work.

    Jason

    Jason,

    I can fully understand the frustration. These latest updates focused on meeting WordPress coding standards and therefore, naming conventions that started over a year ago had to be fixed.

    If you’ve checked hide built-in quotes then the open/close quotes spans shouldn’t even show up in your HTML source.

    Have you ran Inspect Element via right-click on the testimonials to see where in the CSS the quotes are coming from?

    Hi Michael,

    No problem and I am not too frustrated as it is an excellent plug in.

    I have run an Inspect Element and it shows this:

    <div class="testimonials-widget-testimonials testimonials-widget-testimonials14">
<div class="post-516 testimonials-widget type-testimonials-widget status-publish hentry testimonials-widget-testimonial active" style="display: block; ">
<q><span class="open-quote"></span>

"The pond is popular with frogs and toads and we see dragon flys in summer. We see many species of birds in winter, squirrels and pheasants also roam around during the winter months and in summer the garden is always buzzing. Brilliant.”

“I like all the different areas of my garden – ferns and shady beds that slope steeply down under the trees to the stream, the witch hazel and snowdrops in winter, the blues in the spring right through the variety of summer colour to the yellows of autumn, it really is an all year round garden.”

    Does this shed any clues to you?

    Thanks for your support and hope this sort of helps in some way.

    Can you please upgrade to 2.12.1 and double-check that your home page testimonials widget instance has “Hide built-in quotes?” check per https://s-plugins.www.ads-software.com/testimonials-widget/assets/screenshot-3.png under General Options.
