Hey J,

If you are using the widget there is an input for the amount of seconds. If you are using the shortcode set a seconds attribute. It currently defaults to 6 seconds.

Example:

[hms_testimonials_rotating seconds=”10″]

I do plan on updating the documentation to make things more complete and easier to use.

Thanks,
Jeff

Hi babrees,

I am currently in the process of working on a 2.0 version with a lot of updates which is why it’s taking a while.

For your situation, I recommend using the drag and drop to sort your testimonials until a new update comes out.

I don’t have an ETA on the new version but I am working on it.

Hi Gavin,

Go to Appearance then Editor. This should be showing you your themes style.css file.

Scroll all the way down to the bottom and add this on a new line:

.hms-testimonial-container { padding-bottom:20px; }

If you need to add more space, increase 20px to a large number (like 30px)

Implemented for the next update.

.stuffbox.hms-testimonial-source
.stuffbox.hms-testimonial-date
.stuffbox.hms-testimonial-website
.stuffbox.hms-testimonial-content
.postbox.hms-testimonial-groups

stuffbox and postbox are classes on the same div.

In the next update I have split out the advanced options into a new page. This new page also allows you to set the character set of the table.

Hi there,

At the current time you can’t add Town / Country / etc however you can use CSS to hide website field. This is new with the 1.7.1 update.

Add this to your CSS.
.hms-testimonials-form .website { display:none; }

I am working on an update to simplify the UI even more and offer some better documentation.

I will look into adding custom fields for future versions. Adjusting the date format is already on my “todo” plan.

Thanks for the review,
Jeff

Received it. I will look at adding this in to the next update.

Can you send me an example of what you were trying use at this contact form?

Thanks,
Jeff

Not at this time. I will be adding css classes to the rows for the next update.

Add

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

to your css and it will be hidden when the next update comes out.

It looks like you are using the normal widget. There is a second one called HMS Testimonial Rotator. Try that one instead.

Yes you can. Create a new page and use the [hms_testimonials_form] shortcode. You might consider using recaptcha to stop spam. (see the settings page)

I don’t see your issue. Can you provide a screenshot with some annotations?

They are using whatever the css from your theme is using. There are some css classes in the documentation you can use to change it.

Add a class in your css for hms-testimonial-container and give it a min-height that covers most or all of your testimonials.

If you set the min-height to 300px and most of your testimonials are 250px high, the links won’t need to fluctuate. Below is an example.

.hms-testimonials-rotator .hms-testimonial-container { min-height:300px; }

No it’s not set to sort based on the date and unfortunately is not a feature I plan on adding. I recommend that when you add a new testimonial you drag and drop it into the specific order of your needs.

Sorry,
Jeff
