    Hi vlad,

    I can’t get passed this issue on a website I’m trying to customize and that his hosted locally:
    – I imported your demo xml file.
    – Created a page for Testimonials using Testimonials template, added Origin Widget for testimonials;
    – When viewing the page, it shows as a post ( without pictures, in rows and with both sidebars showing);
    – Without changing any kind of settings, I switch to view your demo “Front Page” page, and it all shows correctly. Even when I change this page template to Testimonials, it shows correctly (meaning full width, parallax, etc…).

    What am I missing?

    Hello,

    The testimonials page template doesn’t require any widgets and you don’t need to use the page builder for it. You just need to set the page template and leave it empty and it will automatically show all your testimonials. I hope I understood your issue correctly.

    Hi Vlad,

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    Since I’m also developing an online site I just tried with and without Origin widget and it works both ok.
    see here

    Now I’m thinking it’s something to do with the desktop server installation I set up for the first site I mentioned.

    What are the page title&slug for your testimonials page on your local server? The slug shouldn’t be testimonials, otherwise it will show your testimonials archive instead of the actual page.

    Even after deleting the content on the Slug box, it would autofill with the page’s title.
    Then when I removed the Slug from the screen options the page shows correctly.
    Don’t know if its important but the page title could either be Testimonial or Testimonials.

    If I now read correctly, slugs are generated by wordpress (for posts, pages, tags and categories) to help us connecting links in the future?

    But by disabling the Slug box in screen options, will the slug be auto created anyway?

    You don’t need to delete the slug or disable the slug box, you just need to rename it to something else in case it’s called testimonials at the moment.

    Like I said, if the page has the same URL with a custom post type archive, then the archive will be shown instead of the page. That’s just how WordPress works.
