Thank you for your feedback. You are correct that sorting, such as a drag/drop UI, in the admin is not available, but is also not available in the pro version. In either case, you can sort the frontend using the orderby=”” option in the shortcode using any of the following: name, date, rand, menu_order.

If you need more control of the sort, I would recommend using a sorting plugin which will give you a drag/drop UI in the admin testimonial list. There are few plugins in the repo that provide this and can be used over multiple post types:

– Simple Custom Post Order: https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-post-order/
– Post Types Order: https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-types-order/

When either is enabled and in their settings enabled for Testimonials, you’ll be able to drag/drop each one in your preferred order. In the shortcode, you would then use orderby=”menu_order”. Hope that helps.

Hello,

No that’s not what that said. The notice says the following:

Admin Notice (not public): This shortcode was depreciated on June 16, 2017 and will be removed in a future update. Please update this shortcode to use [bne_testimonials layout=”slider”].

That will only display if you using the original shortcode (v1.x) that displays the slider which is [bne_testimonials_slider]. What you should do is replace that shortcode to the new version which is [bne_testimonials layout="slider"] The reason for this is because that old shortcode is no longer maintained. The same goes for the list view. If you’re using [bne_testimonials_list] you should replace that with [bne_testimonials layout="list"].

I’m not sure what you mean by your last question. The slider accepts two animations slide or fade. I assume with expanding you mean the height automatically adjusting based on the slide content. If you don’t want the height to adjust, you would set smooth="false" in the shortcode. This only works if using the slide animation.

Your footer is using 1/4 columns with the widget you placed the testimonials are in the 1st column. You would need to adjust your theme options to use 1 column instead of 4 for it to be full width.

There’s not a way in the testimonial shortcode as it would fire on every page load that the shortcode is on regardless of view. What you want to do instead, is create a trackable event based on the clicking of the element that opens the hidden panel. The trackable event would add the entry into your analytics.

Ah, I see. You, or your web developer, edited the core CSS file to make your changes. You shouldn’t do that as your changes will be replaced every time you update the plugin. You should instead apply your CSS overrides from your child theme’s style.css, the theme’s admin custom CSS area, or from the WP Customizer.

This rule of thumb applies to any plugin. If the folks at shatterboxstudios made these changes, you’ll need to chat with them about re-applying it — correctly.

So your issue is the position of the entire slider? You currently have it inside an empty div and a parent div with an ID of testimonials. Both of these have no width applied. The testimonial slider by itself will always fill the entire parent container.

As I see it, the slider is displaying correctly based on where it is, minus the line-height that is being applied from your theme or inline styles via line-height: 0.8;. You can see this if you inspect the element.

If you want the slider centered in that container, then you need to apply a width and margin to that area or the immediate empty div which the slider is inside of. Both of these are outside the testimonial output and are from your theme or where you’re adding it from within the page editor.
