Sure no problem.

I am glad we got it figured out and you helped me squash a bug.

Are you changing the drap and drop order on the main page or the group page?

/wp-admin/admin.php?page=hms-testimonials

vs

/wp-admin/admin.php?page=hms-testimonials-viewgroup&id=1

When ordering groups, you must hit “Save Group” at the bottom. That being said, I have just pushed an update 2.0.10 that fixes a blank page when saving the group.

They should default to what drag and drop is set. Also, please make sure they all have “Display” set to yes on the drag and drop screen.

Can you post your entire shortcode please?

So you have them in a specific order via drag and drop, but want to show them in a different order on your page?

Assuming you are using a shortcode, have you set the order attribute?

Example:
[hms_testimonials order=”name” direction=”ASC”]

Change direction=”ASC” to direction=”DESC” if you want them in descending order.

Also, the following fields you can sort by are:

• id
• name
• testimonial
• url
• testimonial_date
• display_order
• image
• rand

rand is random.

I recommend using CSS to hide the form.

Add the following to your style.css

.hms-testimonials-form .website { display:none; }

If you don’t like that approach you could edit the shortcodes.php file and remove the website part of the form on lines 154 – 157.

Use the style.css in your theme.

Go to Appearance -> Editor and it loads the style.css for you.

From there you can use:

.hms-testimonial-container .testimonial { font-family: 'YOUR FONT HERE', Helveticca, Arial, sans-serif; }

This assumes you have already loaded the font.

Thanks for the recommendations.

In the next version coming out soon I have implemented a setting to toggle between a div and a blockquote.

Go to Testimonials and then Settings. It is option #6.

I will definitely look into the image size. Meanwhile, also in the settings, #3 and #4 you can adjust the width/height.

Glad you figured it out ??

?? No problem.

Hey Matt,

It seems WordPress is sticking p tags around the javascript causing it to break. This shouldn’t be happening. Do you have any plugins that modify the content of the post? If so and you don’t want to post them here on the forum, please use my contact form.

I have added the ability to limit by number of words and characters. When I release the update in the next day or so the word_limit and char_limit attributes will be accessible. At this time you will see a “…” for testimonials that go over the amount of words or characters. “Read More” and a link to a page are not yet implemented.

Hi dmckay,

That usually means there is a PHP error. Can you poke around in your FTP client and look for an error_log file. You can usually find it in public_html and public_html/wp-admin.

If you find it please post it.

Thanks,
Jeff

Hi skippywp,

The limit attribute limits the number of testimonials not the number of characters. I like the idea though and will be adding it in when I return from vacation in 2 weeks.

Hey jeremywight,

That`s a great idea. I am currently on vacation for the next 2 weeks but I will add sorting those right when I get back.

If you can wait that long, great. If not, what you could do is modify shortcodes.php in the plugin. The top function controls the form you see.

You might consider grabbing the source from a view-source screen and replacing the HTML form in shortcodes.php.

Thanks,
Jeff

P.S. If you haven’t rated the plugin please do so.

I don’t know what is causing that but what you could do is add the following to your css:

.hms-testimonial-container > .testimonial > br { display:none;}
