Yes, you can have multiple sliders/list on a single page. The limit argument sets how many testimonials are shown in the individual set. Screenshot

Using the same shortcode twice will, of course, show the same testimonials. If you wanted to show a different set in the 2nd shortcode, then you’ll want to include a category.

[bne_testimonials limit="2" layout="list" image_style="circle" category="cat1"]
[bne_testimonials limit="2" layout="list" image_style="circle" category="cat2"]

No you don’t need Pro for this.

To use multiple categories at once, you’ll need to use the new shortcode as I wrote above. The new shortcode is included in the latest version of the plugin which is version 2.0. In the Admin > Testimonials > Help, you’ll see the shortcode documentation listed there.

Just copy and paste what I wrote and it should work for you, assuming you have testimonials published in both those categories and the category slugs are correct.

Ah, you’re right. That did get cut when I re-wrote it. Sorry about that. You can do the same thing using the built-in WP filter, register_post_type_args

add_filter( 'register_post_type_args', function( $args, $post_type ) {
	if( 'bne_testimonials' === $post_type ) {
		$args['public'] = true;
		$args['publicly_queryable'] = true;
		$args['rewrite']['slug'] = 'name_of_slug';
	}

	return $args;	
}, 10, 2 );

Thank you for the kind words and feedback!

By default it shows all with a “-1″, check your shortcode to see if you’ve entered an argument for post.

If using the 1x version of the shortcode:
[bne_testimonials_list post=”-1″]

New shortcode as of v2
[bne_testimonials layout=”list” limit=”-1″]

If both of those are showing “-1” then your theme or another plugin might be hijacking the query globally?? You can try increasing the number that is set for “Blog pages show at most” located in Settings > Reading

A couple of things to try:

1) You’re calling jQuery twice, jquery.js (within the header) and jquery.min.js (within the footer). The second one is called after the slider inline js is printed from the shortcode. Every instance of jquery cancels the previous. In this case with it coming after, the flexlider function becomes undefined. Regardless though, one instance of jquery needs to be called only.

2) Since you’re on v2 of BNE Testimonials, try the newer version of the shortcode outlined in the Admin help page. This streamlined version sends the inline js needed for the slider to the footer which in turn should be after any instance of jquery. Basically, instead of [bne_testimonials_slider] you would use [bne_testimonials layout=”slider”]
