    I run a child theme. Is there a way to edit the testimonials from the child theme?

    Although, one question – is there a way to randomize the testimonials instead of pulling them in order from the Testimonials sidebar?

    Hi Kharis,

    It looks like it was just a cache issue. I restarted my computer and the changes are going through.

    Thanks!

    Hi Kharis,

    I have a few testimonials that I’ve previously created with titles. I can’t seem to delete the titles and then save the changes. Do I have to create completely new entries?

    Thanks,
    Rich

    Well, the good thing is that my main site is still up and running. I just wanted to add some functionality to it and this happens lol

    Tutoring can be fairly consistent in terms of demand, actually, especially if one offers services for a wide range of students as I do.

    Not going to lie, Jackie…my head hurts from all this wordpressing haha.

    Anyway, sounds like it’s all up to the folks at Athemes now!

    Jackie, thanks again for your time and effort on trying to solve this. Will definitely keep you posted if I find the solution.

    activate a default theme, then go to ‘Pages > All Pages’ & see if there is in fact a ‘Testimonials’ page.

    By the way, tried this – nothing. 🙁

    I’ve posted a support thread on athemes.com. Fingers crossed!

    Jackie, I want to apologize for thinking you were just being hyperbolic. I sometimes stare at a computer for so long that my eyes get so blurry I can’t see anything and thought that’s what you meant. My bad! That computer forensics course sounds pretty interesting though haha

    Your explanation made perfect sense however I’m rather lost on what my options are and what my next steps should be. Here are my thoughts:

    1. If I delete my subdomain installation of WP and essentially start from scratch with the correct install that you mentioned earlier, would that resolve this issue?
    2. Should I contact the theme developer to see if they have a solution for this?
    3. If you wouldn’t mind linking me to the video that you are referring to or give me the search terms that you used to find it, I could take a look and try the DIY way.

    Glad to know I’m not crazy though and that I at least knew the difference between a post and a page haha.

    Haha, no worries. Thank you again for your help, Jackie. I think image workaround is just to post a link to my photobucket account so I’ll use that if we need it – and I’ll make sure to make it big enough to see.

    Rich, you simply create the folder in your web root.
    Thanks, I’ll give that a go later.

    What most WP devs generally do in this sort of situation is to create a separate install in a folder such as rxtutor.com/wordpress rather than what you did.

    Ahh. Thank you for the heads up, I had no idea! How would I go about doing this the right way then? Creating the rztutor.com/wordpress directory and all?

    If that’s the case, we might not even have to deal with this mystery since I can just delete the entire subdomain and start fresh – although I’m the type of guy who always wants to get to the bottom of something so I know this will continue to bug me even if we are able to skirt around it! 🙁

    Ok, so I think I got the pictures working. Hold on one second.

    Rich, first, do you have tags called ‘Testimonials’?
    I do not think so. If I did, where would I find these tags?

    2nd, how did you go about creating the testimonials page
    When I created the testimonials page the first time (this is the one that has since been deleted but now showing as “archives”), I clicked Pages –> New Pages –> Choose “Page Builder” format (Visual/Text/Page Builder) –> Insert Row –> Insert “Sydney FP: Testimonials” widget.

    The Sydney Testimonials widget was previously configured via the Testimonials link on my sidebar, in which I added 5 testimonials. For some reason, each of these has a permalink like “subdomain1.rztutor.com/testimonials/(name)”.

    I really wish I could post pictures here…

    No problem – I’m absolutely a WP newb (hence the name) so nothing you say will be construed as condescending. Appreciate the disclaimer though.

    I do think I understand your point on Posts vs. Pages though. Let me see if I can link some images, maybe that’ll help.

    1 – I deleted the Categories (Parent/Student) and nothing happened.
    2 – I moved all my current testimonials (5 of them) to the trash and now /testimonials shows “Nothing Found” which is good but it doesn’t solve the problem.

    The problem:
    The /testimonials page appears to be a permanent page – I tried creating another page in WP using Pages –> New Page –> “Testimonials” but nothing I type on the new page appears even though the permalink on this new Testimonials page says /testimonials.
