Heh, I was disappointed by the same thing… I found your post because I’m doing a similar search on behalf of a client. You’re right that spotfinder looks like it’ll require heavy customization — good luck! (I take it you feel it would be easier to start from there, than building your own from scratch inside WP? Maybe offering it for sale if your client relationship would allow that?)

Thanks for calling my attention to agriya – I see they have quite a bit of nice-looking packages. Assuming the code is clean, I could imagine using one of them for a future project. Will have to keep them in my files.

Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful…

oops, crap, I’m sorry… that’s crowdfunding, not crowdsourcing… :/

and the UI on here doesn’t seem to want to let me take back that post… meh.

Ok, here’s a crappy hack…

Using “Plugins->Editor” and selecting “Testimonials”, you can get to the “testimonials-by-woothemes/woothemes-testimonials-template.php” file.

Line 133 is:

$content = apply_filters( 'woothemes_testimonials_content', get_the_content(), $post );

and if you change that to:

$content = get_the_content();

then it seems to work okay. I’m not sure what the “woothemes_testimonials_content” filter was intended to do — it may be intended to “sanitize” the testimonials against people sneaking hacks into them. But if you write your own testimonials and don’t allow reader submissions, it won’t matter.

ANYway… I’d really like to see a fix originate from Woo on this one, but in case of emergency my answer about should work.

Happy hacking!
