Content not excerpting

    Hi, love your plugin! I set it up on a client’s site (http://latea-da.com/) with the shortcode on the homepage. But although I have the option “Use excerpts in testimonial display” checked on the Content display tab, it shows the entire testimonial in the rotator. Any ideas? Is there a shortcode variable (something like ‘excerpt=”yes”‘) I can add to force the excerpting on that page? Here is my page’s shortcode: [katb_testimonial group="all" number="all" by="random" id="" rotate="yes" layout="0" schema="default"]

    Thanks!

    Hi ColumbiaWebDev

    Sorry I’m late….I wish these support forums would send an email:(

    What is your word cutoff in the excerpt?

    No worries. 🙂 I have played with various settings on that – I’m using the “Content Display” tab (instead of the “Widget Display”) since I’m showing it on a page via shortcode (although I played with both). Right now it is set at 160. I also tried leaving it at the default of 80, but nothing seems to make a difference. There are at least a couple of really long testimonials, so I know it should be cutting some of them off. 😉

    That’s why it is not working, set it to 20 and take a look 🙂

    Haha! You’re a genius! LOL

    It would help if I’d actually READ the label (set length in WORDS) instead of just interpreting it my way (assumed it was characters). Thanks for the help, you rock. 🙂
