    Hello!

    I am using Avada theme, which comes with a testimonals short code, but yours is much better. The problem is that the shortcode [testimonials] is used by both plugins. I ned the functionality of the Avada shortcodes so I can’t disable that. So I would like to rename yours.

    In testimonials-widget.php I tried changing:

    if ( ! function_exists( 'testimonials' ) ) {
	function testimonials( $atts = array() ) {
		global $Testimonials_Widget;

		return $Testimonials_Widget->testimonials( $atts );
	}

    to

    if ( ! function_exists( 'testimonials' ) ) {
	function testimonials( $atts = array() ) {
		global $Testimonials_Widget;

		return $Testimonials_Widget->testimonials-widget( $atts );
	}

    But that didn’t work.

    How can I rename your shortcode to something that doesn’t conflict?

    Thanks in advance?

    dp, it might be easier to comment out the add_shortcode line in your theme.

    OK- so thats what I ended up doing.

    For those that are having the same problem, here’s how I solved it:

    The AVADA theme uses Fusion Core for its shortcodes (it took me a while to figure that out). Once I did, in class-testimonials.php I commented out lines 24 and 25

    /*add_shortcode( 'testimonials', array( $this, 'render_parent' ) );*/
    /*add_shortcode( 'testimonial', array( $this, 'render_child' ) );*/

    Now your testimonials plugin is working great.

    Thanks!
