The content in your testimonials are wrapped in <code> tags. This is not from the plugin, but rather the editor in wordpress when you are adding content for the testimonials.

I suggest you remove the <code> tags from the testimonial content and it should display correctly.

Maybe you can try copy/pasting the content into something like Notepad or similar to remove the formatting.

The images not formatting is due to your theme. Add this into your CSS:

.testimonial .client { clear:both; }

The fonts are also due to your theme and the way the have been inputted. They are wrapped in <code> tags. Highlight the text and select paragraph or format from the formatting drop down box in the wordpress editor. That should fix it.

Hi there,

I cant see the testimonials running on the site. Do you have a page where I can view this please?

The link to https://www.glimpsephotography.com/temp does not seem to have testimonials on it anymore?

Thanks

I have not heard back so am marking this as resolved.

This is not easily done with the plugin at the moment without having the coding knowledge. We will be coming out with something soon that does allow this though…

Hi there,

In order for us to be able to help you, we need a bit more information.

Can you provide us a link to your website, and can you tell us how you have added the page for the testimonials.

Thanks

Hi there,

This is a feature we are looking to implement at some point. The pagination script the plugin uses does not allow paging links at the top and bottom, so we will be changing to another script down the track that does.

Thanks

Hi there,

Yes please do post them here and I will include them in the next release.

Thanks very much!

Hi there,

It seems that no files from the testimonials plugin are being loaded on your website. This includes all the Javascript and CSS files, so the pagination will not be working.

I would say that this would be a conflict with either your theme or another plugin stopping the required files from loading.

Can you try switching to another theme temporarily to see if the issue resolves?

Hi there,

I think the fix in this thread would help you.

If you cant make the changes, email me at erin.garscadden at gmail dot com with your wordpress login info and I can take a look for you.

Thanks

For a temporary fix, open gc-testimonials/assets/js/quickpager.jquery.js and at around line 117, find this code

//hide and show relevant links
selector.children().hide();
selector.find(".simplePagerPage"+clickedLink).show();

and add this line underneath:

$("html, body").animate({ scrollTop: "0px" });

So it reads:

//hide and show relevant links
selector.children().hide();
selector.find(".simplePagerPage"+clickedLink).show();
$("html, body").animate({ scrollTop: "0px" });

Let me know how that goes ??

Ok, it seems these issues are more about the theme you are using.

In https://alexistmyers.com/wp-content/themes/thesis_184/custom/custom.css, at around line 104, you have this CSS that is hiding the read more link:

#footer p {
    display: none;
}

So under that, add this in:

#footer p.gctst-widget-readmore {display: block;font-size: 12px;}

and it should show for you. Let me know if that works ??

Hi there,

Im not sure what is causing the issue without having access to your blog, but could you try this and see if it fixes the issue please.

Open testimonials.php, and at around line 796, find this code:

if( strlen($testimonial->post_content) > $words) {
	echo '<div class="content">'.substr(wpautop($testimonial->post_content), 0, $words).'...</div>';
} else {
	echo '<div class="content">'.wpautop($testimonial->post_content).'</div>';
}

and replace with:

if( strlen($testimonial->post_content) > $words) {
	echo '<div class="content">'.substr($testimonial->post_content, 0, $words).'...</div>';
} else {
	echo '<div class="content">'.$testimonial->post_content.'</div>';
}

If you could post back and let me know if that fixed it or not, that would be great, thanks.

Thanks for the great review!

Email notifications have just been added in!

Hi Jan,

There should not be any need to edit the plugin to make this work.

Can you please confirm that you have set the settings correctly.

Go to Testimonials > Settings, and click the check-box for Yes next to: Email when a testimonial is submitted?, and add your email address in the field next to: Email address for submission notification.

If these settings are correct, and it is still not working, can you try with a different email address possibly and post back the result.

This feature does work, and has through all of my testing, however it is a new feature and still needs to be thoroughly tested.

Thanks
Erin
