You’re so welcome! Thanks for taking the time to write a review. You’ve made me a happy camper.

Thanks so much for taking the time to write a review! You’ve made me a happy developer. ??

Just marking this question as resolved, since the plugin now supports limit lengths via the widget. ??

Can you give more details? For example, can you paste the shortcode that you are using so we can see if there are any issues?

You could probably write your own page template that did this relatively easily. You’d need to create a loop that worked with the “testimonials” post type.

If you know basic PHP, this is very easy to do. Open the pixelovely_testimonial.php file. Find the array variable $optionsForPIXELovelyTestimonials

You will need to add a nested array similar to the others already in this array.

You’ll notice that the text field is generated thusly:

array(
‘name’ => ‘Attribution’,
‘type’ => ‘text’,
‘optionname’ => ‘post_title’,
‘description’ => ‘A name, initials, title, nickname or other handle to identify who is being quoted.’)

You can make a copy of this and add your open name and option name. You can then access this meta data using the normal wordpress Meta Data functions. The meta key will be the value for “optionname” that you specify.

Be aware that each time you update the plugin, your changes will be overwritten.

Hey Candell,

A release just went out today that tries to address the length concerns! Hope it helps. ??

Sorry, no, this plugin is meant for simple use cases and doesn’t handle pagination. I have no plans to add this, either.

I did just release an update that allows for establishing a character limit for testimonials in the sidebar, which might help you tame those letter-length quotes. Otherwise, I’d suggest a combination of short testimonials in the plugin and displayed with the shortcode, and letter-length testimonials simply written on the page as normal content, before or after the shortcode.

Hi gjaycee,

This plugin does include a testimonial widget, if that’s what you mean. I think you are posting in the wrong topic, though!

Hi Akilmshaikh,

I’m afraid I’m not sure if I understand you… The testimonial widget was causing other widgets in a horizontal sidebar to be forced below it?

Thanks Candell,

I’ll see about adding some kind of limit length in the near future.

Thanks so much for the feedback! I will ponder deeply whether it’s worth the added complexity of creating some kind of “compatibility mode” for cases like that. Because this is primarily something I built and maintain for my own clients, it’s never come up before, and for my less savvy clients I always try to keep interfaces as simple as humanly possible.
