    Hi Hal,
    I’m having issues getting any output from T.R. through my theme files. I’ve tried your suggestions from this post and from your documentation here and neither seem to work.

    I’m currently calling the function like this..

    echo '<div class="row" data-equalizer><div class="small-12 medium-6 large-4 columns homepage widget superfood ">' . get_testimonial_rotator( array('id' => 328, 'speed' => 3000 ) ) . '</div></div>';

    Can you please advise?

    Most of the time when there is no output it’s because testimonials haven’t been assigned to the rotator. Can you confirm that they have?

    Hal, I can’t say. I waited for a few days and then removed it and developed my own plugin without the use of custom post types. I liked your plugin, but I need this a a lot for client sites and I find it’s just a bit too heavy and there wasn’t any other good alternative out there. Using Custom Post types, is easy, but just seems like hitting a nail with a back hoe instead of a hammer. Add to that, that so many other plugins use custom post types (events, products, testimonials, portfolio) and things can get pretty crowded in the WordPress admin.

    So Think Up Testimonials just uses WordPress’ native text widgets, some very basic html markup and a call back function to implement it in themes. Perhaps I’ll add a shortcode option in the future.

    Thanks for following up though. Have a good one!
