Using the “average star ranking” shortcode in elementor leads to an error

I just tried out the new shortcode using elementor’s “shortcode widget” and strangely after a few tries, elementor refuses to load the page (it can be looked at fine when previewing) with an error about not being able to load the “the-content” function.
Disabling the testimonial plugin fixes it.

Hoping this isn’t too much of a hassle to look into, it would be great to get it working somehow, as it isn’t too practical to disable the plugin each time some work has to be done on the corresponding page…

Thanks in advance
Best Regards,
Christian

Apparently the fix seems rather easy / quick :

Been out of town for a while. Just submitted version 2.5.2 that should fix this.
Thanks,

Sadly it still does break Elementor. I am getting this exact error :

“Sorry, the content area was not found in your page. You must call the_content function in the current template, in order for Elementor to work on this page.”

The error only appears on pages where a testimonial shortcode is loaded. (for me it would be homepage and “testimonials” page)

I will dig a bit deeper and try to find a solution.

Of course, you still are awesome 😉

Best Regards,
Christian

Can you try modifying my plugin on the file:
/wp-content/plugins/testimonial-rotator/testimonial-rotator.php

Line 685 it says wp_reset_postdata(); can you change that to wp_reset_query();
