Gotcha, thanks. Guess my posts are just on a delay for some reason. I’ll mark this as resolved and just live with that knowledge. ??

C3dRy2K,

Yep, try changing “test” to whatever category you want to display with the shortcode.

Are you putting the shortcode in a page or a post? Pages, at least by default, do not have tags, so I’m not sure the get_the_tags() function would work. It might if you have a plugin that allows you to give pages tags, but I’m not certain.

Hello strongtyer,

For all shortcodes used in template files rather than in pages you need to use the function do_shortcode().

so for the testimonials you’d do:

echo do_shortcode('[your_whole_shortcode_here attribute="value"]');

And so on. Just make sure if you use ” to enclose your shortcode you use ” to enclose your shortcode attributes.

Hope this helps,

Daniel

whalanz,

I’ve not experienced this myself, what theme are you using? Are you adding it in the editor like this:

Sometext here
[ic_add_posts]
Some more text here

If so, make sure you add an extra return between the lines like this:

Sometext here

[ic_add_posts]

Some more text here

Hello ramstell,

This is code in the loop template.

You can place the posts_loop_template.php file in your theme file and edit it to remove those lines as you see fit.

Thanks,

Daniel

deutschwulf,

It looks like this feature will have to be put on the roadmap for now, as it’ll take a bit more work than I thought I’ll need to discuss it with the team here and figure out the best way to implement it.

In the meantime if you really need two sliders, you could consider combining two plugins, or forking ours with a few code tweaks and running both versions at once.

Hi deutshwulf,

Thanks for the good words.

Yeah, the JavaScript currently uses an ID to switch the elements of the slider. I think it could be managed with a class, or an ID generated based on the group indicated in the shortcode, but it’d take a bit of modification. I’m not sure I could get to it this weekend, but if I do, I’ll let you know.

Odd: When I’m logged in I see my post above the RE the Testimonials Title: post, but don’t see it when not logged in. Anyway, here’s a screenshot of it:

Or, without changing code, can accomplish the same thing using:

#ivycat-testimonials cite{
    display:block;
    text-align: right;
}

RE the Testimonials Title:

It appears that the widget is what you are referring to and the Testimonials title shows up if it is left blank. I’ll get that fixed, in the meantime, you could probably just hide it with CSS if it is super urgent. I’ll try to get that fix in today.

Hansford,

Feel free to make any change you want for your site. You can even fork the plugin if you’d like.

Are you using the latest version? The “Testimonials” title is not in the lastest version and the overall h3 title is not set by default, you have to manually add it in the shortcode for it to even show up.

As for the permalinks thing, if you add a new testimonial, or edit an existing and see the permalink and it is something other than ending in a ?p=xx where xx is some number, then the link should work just fine.

It should be in the format of https://www.yourwebsite.com/testimonials/testimonial-slug/ and that should be the exact same thing that is in the permalink spot when you edit the post in the WP dashboard. If you click view page and get a 404 error and rebuilding permalinks doesn’t fix this, you probably have other issues at hand.

I’v tested it with all of the other permalink structures and only the default setting doesn’t work.

I know you don’t want the link and I’ve said we will add that feature eventually. If you need it in the meantime, feel free to change it.

Hello hansford,

The link should be the correct one. Are you using pretty permalinks? There currently isn’t a setting to unlink it, though we can certainly add that feature to the roadmap.

If you are using permalinks an it isn’t working, try rebuilding your permalinks (just go to the dashboard, Settings->Permalinks and just hit save to rebuild.

Latest version is pushed and should fix this issue.

Thanks Richard. Fixed this and pushed the change today.

Hello ckhatton,

I’m looking into this and will resolve this issue ASAP. Thanks for using our plugin.
