Hey BCKing –
1. As a temporary workaround, using CSS you can display: none; the View More link in your list of Testimonials. This is not ideal, I imagine, but will visually correct the issue for now.
2. The Stars, and their colors, are styled via CSS in our themes that support them. Unfortunately, the Free themes were built before Stars were added to the plugin, and as a result they currently don’t have any styling applied to them. This can be corrected via CSS, by applying a different color to the “empty” stars.
3. They do – are you displaying excerpts? This is a feature that is confirmed working, but if you’ve found a scenario in which it doesn’t then I’d like to know more. To enable using the excerpt, pass the attribute use_excerpt=1 via the shortcode. You can control the excerpt via the standard options in the WordPress editor.
Thanks for pointing these items out! Please let me know of any followup questions you have.
All the best,
Richard

Thanks for the tips.
1. Adding this CSS kills the link in both the footer and in the page listing the testimonials.
a.easy_testimonials_read_more_link{
display: none;
}
This isn’t correct but I guess I can do a manual link to the more testimonials page in the page footer widget.
2. I switched to text instead of pictures for stars.
3. I have the theme dazzling from theme downloads in wordpress, In the footer I have a text widget with
[testimonials_cycle random=”true” count=’5′ show_title=’1′ theme=’default_style’ use_excerpt=’1′ transition=’fade’ timer=’5000′ container=’1′]
This is not giving me a clickable link to see the full testimonial. I have some with and some without excerpts.
Hey BCKing!
1) The View More link is a global option that, if set, will always display (there is no individual override.) So, hiding with CSS is the correct answer, for now, for your needs.
2) 10-4
3) If you have a Read More link set inside your Testimonial (using the built-in WordPress Read More functionality) then the links you are looking for will show. By default, WordPress only auto-excerpts things over a certain length.
I hope that clears things up!
Best,
Richard
