# Pagination for slideshow

 * I’ve installed a slider using the view feature with 3 testimonials. The pagination
   box is checked, but not showing. Is there a minimum # of testimonials for it 
   to show up, or another secret I”m not getting? Does the per page# matter perhaps,
   or is there a minimum # of testimonials needed for it to show? Thank you!

 * Slideshows can only display one at a time so pagination doesn’t work. In the 
   View editor, I need to hide the pagination option in slideshow mode.

 * Bummer! So is there any way for readers to know that there are more testimonials
   there, or do i just have to hope they stay long enough for the next one to come
   into view? Arrows? Buttons?

 * I do have a custom shortcode you can add to your theme’s functions.php if you
   want to display the total testimonial count.
 * I plan to add slideshow controls like many image sliders have but I’m not sure
   when.
 * You could try pagination with one per page like [this demo](http://demos.wpmission.com/strong-testimonials/demo-group-1/demo-1e/).
   That would give your readers time to read each one.

 * That’s perfect – what settings do i use for Demo 1e? I can’t see the instructions
   for that one?

 * Mode: Display
    Order: Newest first (optional) I added Date to the Custom Fields
   with Format “M j, Y” Pagination: 1 per page Read more: to the full page (demo
   1a)
 * [Demo 1f](http://demos.wpmission.com/strong-testimonials/demo-group-1/demo-1f/)
   is similar except it shows 2 per page in a 2 column grid.

 * And if you want the testimonial count, add this to your theme’s functions.php:
 *     ```
       function my_testimonial_count( $atts, $content = null ) {
       	extract( shortcode_atts(
       		array(
       			'category' => '',
       		),
       		$atts
       	) );
       	$args = array(
       		'posts_per_page'   => -1,
       		'post_type'        => 'wpm-testimonial',
       		'post_status'      => 'publish',
       		'wpm-testimonial-category' => $category,
       		'suppress_filters' => true
       	);
       	$posts_array = get_posts( $args );
       	return count( $posts_array );
       }
       add_shortcode( 'my_testimonial_count', 'my_testimonial_count' );
       ```
   
 * and use it like
 *     ```
       <h3>Our [my_testimonial_count] Testimonials</h3>
       ```
   
 * I will add this shortcode to the plugin soon.
