Read More Link on Full Testimonials Page

    Hi,

    I have two websites using your plugin and so far, it’s been really great. There’s one problem I’ve run into though, and I’m not sure how to fix it.

    On my pages with the full testimonials, there is a Read More link, even though I’m using the full testimonial, not an excerpt. If you click on the link, it just reloads the same page you were already on.

    One instance of this happening is here: https://fp.kgshultz.com/testimonials/ and the shortcode I’m using for that page is
    [random_testimonial count='100']

    The other instance of this happening is here: https://www.goodneighbormediation.com/testimonial/ and the shortcode used on that page is
    [random_testimonial count='5']

    Any help making the Read More link go away on the pages with the full testimonials would be really appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Hey keller8899!

    The built-in Read More link is displayed when you use the Cycled, Random, or Single testimonial widget / shortcode. Since you are displaying 5 random testimonials on the page that you have set as the Read More destination, this behavior is occurring.

    Try instead the following shortcodes:

    [testimonials count=’100′ orderby=’rand’]

    and

    [testimonials count=’5′ orderby=’rand’]

    That is a randomly ordered list, which will behave more as intended I think.

    I agree the docs are a bit murky on this — do you have any feedback on how we could have presented this information to you better?

    Thanks!

    Hi Richard,

    Yes, those shortcodes worked perfectly. Although, I ultimately decided to go with a descending by date order.

    I’m not sure how to make the documentation more explicit other than coming right out and saying that if you use the [random_testimonial] shortcode it will come with a Read More link everywhere, not just in the sidebar widget.

    Thanks for your help!
