Hi ctutu,

This would be a customization you would need to make by utilizing one of the available filters such as the bne_testimonials_the_content filter. This particular filter would all you to adjust the testimonial content output by changing get_the_content(); to get_the_excerpt();

Then you would perhaps use a lightbox to display the remaining of the testimonial from a “continue reading” link or perhaps use a toggle show/hide method.

The free version here on the repo is not translated yet. The pro version has a function that allows you to change most strings on the frontend and backend to something completely different.

An example to change most field labels is listed on the support docs here. Again only available in the Pro version.

Hi JoePhilpott,

Are you referring to the testimonial slider ? You would need to adjust the CSS. Place the following in your theme’s custom css area or theme’s style.css file.

.bne-testimonial-slider-wrapper {
   border: none;
   box-shadow: none;
}

Using WooThemes’s version would look like this:

.bne-testimonial-slider.flexslider .flex-direction-nav { width: 100%; top: 50%; left: 0; right: 0; }
.bne-testimonial-slider.flexslider .flex-direction-nav li { }
.bne-testimonial-slider.flexslider .flex-direction-nav li a {
	top: 50%;
	position: absolute;
	background: url(http://flexslider.woothemes.com/images/bg_direction_nav.png);
	width: 27px;
	height: 27px;
}
.bne-testimonial-slider.flexslider .flex-direction-nav .flex-prev { left: -30px; background-position: 0 0;}
.bne-testimonial-slider.flexslider .flex-direction-nav .flex-next { left: auto; right: -30px; background-position: 100% 0; }

Again you may need to adjust based on your theme and the background arrow image used. You also need to grab your own arrow background and not use the one directly from WooThemes, as in not linking directly to it such as the example above is.

Hi CompuMatter,

The navigation arrows shouldn’t be located there in the screenshot you provided. By default, they should be on the bottom right aligned with the pagination buttons. If your theme is using flexslider as well, it could be overriding the location in my plugin. If you have a live link of the page in question, then I can check for you.

In regards to moving them to the opposite sides, and using your own arrows, that is definitely possible with your own CSS modifications from your theme’s custom css area or style.css file. Below would be a starting place for you and should get the arrows to the opposite sides and vertically centered. Adjust to your needs.

/* Nav Arrows */
.bne-testimonial-slider.flexslider .flex-direction-nav { width: 100%; top: 50%; left: 0; right: 0; }
.bne-testimonial-slider.flexslider .flex-direction-nav li { }
.bne-testimonial-slider.flexslider .flex-direction-nav li a { top: 50%; position: absolute; }
.bne-testimonial-slider.flexslider .flex-direction-nav .flex-prev { left: -30px; }
.bne-testimonial-slider.flexslider .flex-direction-nav .flex-next { left: auto; right: -30px; }

Have you tried Post Expirator? I have not tried it, but It looks to have support for custom post types which is what my plugin is. Not sure if it can go as far as the categories though.
