Awesome, thanks!

What file do I need to edit? I opened testimonials-widget.php in Dreamweaver and searched for “Testimonials_Widget::get_testimonial_html” but nothing comes up. Am I looking in the right file? If you can point me to the code line you’re referring to (the default that I’m supposed to look at for an example of what to change), I think I can figure it out.

Thanks

Nevermind, the update thing showed up (it wasn’t available earlier.. weird). Updated premium to 1.11.2 – problem still happening.

That was fast ??

I checked the Update page, but there’s no update notification for the premium plugin.

Are you positive about having the latest versions of free and premium testimonials widget?

I just now updated the main plugin from 2.11.2 to 2.11.3. Premium plugin is 1.11.1 (is this the latest? I assume I would see an update notification for it in my WP plugins page). There doesn’t seem to be any change after I updated.

Have you made sure to check your Testimonials > Settings about the options?

Here are my current settings, I haven’t changed anything since I started this thread. Let me know if you need to see anything else.

Can you then please recheck your widget and make that’s the widget being displayed on the front end?

Yours is the only testimonial plugin I have installed (if that’s what you mean..?). I’m displaying it with the following shortcode in my Testimonials page:

[testimonialswidget_list]

Also just for the heck of it I double checked that there are no spaces etc at the end of the text on the problem testimonials – there aren’t.

Thanks!

BTW, disregard the title being shown out of order on the single-testimonial view; that is a different issue I haven’t fixed yet.

Whoops, here’s the code:

OK, I had some other weird bugs with this plugin, so I had to drop it ??

BUT, in case you ran into the same problem as me, here’s my solution! This is nice because it uses a template instead of a plugin.

I used the “A Page of Posts” example from https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Pages as a starting point. If you’re like me and don’t understand PHP, your best bet is to make a test page using the 2011 theme, and then replace the example code with your own template code one piece at a time, and re-load your test page after each change so you can see what you’re affecting. That was the easiest way for me to figure it out.

Put this code at the top of your template (replace “press releases” with whatever you want to call your template).

<?php
/*
Template Name: Press Releases
*/
?>

Then, I created an EMPTY page, and selected my Press Releases template in the page’s settings. The page is empty because the template php code will put the posts from my Press Releases category into the content area automatically.

Here’s the code for my template’s entire content area. You will just need to replace the html tags to suit your own template. Please note the comment “Change these category SLUGS to suit your use.” You will need to replace my press-releases category with the slug from your own site’s special category.

Update – as of this posting I have temporarily changed num=10 to num=100, so at least all the posts from the Press Releases category will be viewable for now. Note that the pagination at the bottom still does not work as a link (and, it actually shouldn’t display at all, since all of the posts from that category are being shown… but that isn’t a huge deal).

I’m having a similar problem. I get the spinning wheel, but if I scroll down, I actually see the thumbnail editing area inline beneath the admin page (rather than in a pop-up). It doesn’t actually do anything, however.

OK, I’ve figured this out. It was not a problem with NGG at all, it was actually a problem with my updated WP theme. NGG was giving me the error, so I assumed that the problem was related to NGG.

I had two custom themes in my theme folder, let’s call them ‘old’ and ‘new’. When I made the new custom NGG template, I had to make some very minor tweaks to my WP theme to accommodate it. What I did not realize, is that when I changed the theme from ‘old’ to ‘new’, WP for some reason did not recognize the ‘new’ theme. Since the themes look identical, I assumed that my ‘new’ theme had been applied, but I was really still seeing the ‘old’ theme. The problem is that my custom NGG template was in the ‘new’ theme folder, but the ‘old’ theme was being used, so NGG could not find the custom template I was telling it to use – hence the error.

Murphy’s law.. the more aggravating and impossible to track down a problem is, the simpler it is to fix once you find it.

I believe you should be able to put that tag anywhere between

<?php if (!empty ($gallery)) : ?>

and

<?php endif; ?>

Can you be more detailed about the problem with the slideshow shortcode? You might want to start a new thread on it.

Confirming that Michael86’s tag worked. Thanks!

(and thank you for the great plugin, Alex!!)

I’m using the current version (1.9.9) and still had this problem.

I might be able to make this work, along with a custom NGG template:

Will post results here if I can get it to work… still open to any other suggestions! ??
