 * sock2me,
 * That’s definitely weird. Try turning your plugins off and on one at a time to
   determine if there’s a conflict.

 * Good suggestion – but that didn’t work either. I still just get the shortcodes
   sitting on the page. I retried deactivating all the plugins but your – still 
   no juice.
 * I might just try a different plugin…? unless you want me to try something else…
   THANK you for your help by the way! You are very sweet.

 * Testimonials are rotating at [http://licensed2bill.com/testimonials/](http://licensed2bill.com/testimonials/),
   but those are from another plugin.
 * Hmm… not having any plugins activated except Testimonials Widget and using the
   TwentyTwelve theme at the same time should’ve shown working shortcodes.
 * I really am wondering why not.
 * Can I get a snapshot of your website? Snapshot being a database and file dump?

 * Um… its working. I feel like I’m going crazy. It’s working but there is something
   wrong with my loop because all my blog posts are showing up multiple times and
   now – so are the testimonials…

 * Can you update to the latest testimonials widget?
 * Definitely sounds like theme issues with the blog posts, etc.

 * Yes – I had to re-install the theme, but got them working in the end. Thank you
   so much for your help!

   troubles.
