Nice step. May Allah help this mission become a ” Sadqa Jaria” for all those who are involved and supporting this noble cause. 12-03-19” * Plugin Contributor [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [7 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/testimonials-shortcode-order-not-working/#post-11304961) * That is not a Testimonial, it was left as comment on the Testimonials page. * You’ll need to now take the content of that comment, and add it as a Testimonial: [https://en.support.wordpress.com/testimonials/](https://en.support.wordpress.com/testimonials/) * Thread Starter [urshadow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/urshadow/) * (@urshadow) * [7 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/testimonials-shortcode-order-not-working/#post-11305030) * Hi [@macmanx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * That’s exactly what has been done, plz see the testimonials on the page, above the comments section. If it’s still not clear then you can take the example of the following testimonial, it should be at the top but its not: * “I will INSHALLAH contribute and spread this cause. 12-03-19 * ― Zahid Nisar” * Plugin Contributor [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [7 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/testimonials-shortcode-order-not-working/#post-11305043) * The only instance of “Masha Allah…. Nice step.” that I see on that page is a comment, not a testimonial. * Did you indeed create a testimonial yourself following the guide at [https://en.support.wordpress.com/testimonials/](https://en.support.wordpress.com/testimonials/) * Thread Starter [urshadow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/urshadow/) * (@urshadow) * [7 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/testimonials-shortcode-order-not-working/#post-11305075) * That is strange, can you see all testimonials on this link: [https://theclearevidence.org/testimonial/](https://theclearevidence.org/testimonial/) * Thread Starter [urshadow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/urshadow/) * (@urshadow) * [7 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/testimonials-shortcode-order-not-working/#post-11305118) * I have cleared WP Rocket’s cache as well, let me know if you are still unable to see the testimonial on [https://theclearevidence.org/feedback/](https://theclearevidence.org/feedback/) * Plugin Contributor [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [7 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/testimonials-shortcode-order-not-working/#post-11305390) * It looks like clearing the cache is what you needed to do. * By default, Testimonials are displayed in order by date added, with the most recent first. * Are you sure you have not modified the order via the shortcode?

Still, the order appearing here [https://theclearevidence.org/feedback/](https://theclearevidence.org/feedback/) is not the order which is appearing here [https://theclearevidence.org/testimonial/](https://theclearevidence.org/testimonial/) * And what made me think that it is not the issue of the cache is the fact that if I change the number of columns in the shortcode, I can see the change immediately. * Plugin Support [lizkarkoski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lizkarkoski/) * (@lizkarkoski) * [7 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/testimonials-shortcode-order-not-working/#post-11309036) * On [https://theclearevidence.org/testimonial/](https://theclearevidence.org/testimonial/) the testimonials are in a single column.
