Hi there,

I am currently using the testimonial rotator on a number of websites that I manage, and all are showing an error in search console ‘item does not support reviews’. Is there something that can be done to fix this error?

I am having two issues with the Testimonial Rotator plugin:

1. When activated, I see that the slideshow of images in my header are now blank (created with Smart Slider 3). If I deactivate Testimonial Rotator, the images are visible

2. I am trying to use 3 little piggies layout and I am trying various shortcodes, but none seem to display as wanted – 3 display and rotate to the next three, etc. Instaed, I am getting three on one line with the remaining testimonials displaying one per line below the original three.

Hi Hal,

First of all thank you for this awesome plug-in!

I encountered a small bug since one of the recent updates (not sure since when exactly). The “Author information” box doesn’t save the “Open link in new tab” checkbox anymore when I put a link in it. In other words, the target="_blank" information isn’t saved with the url.

I use this a lot so I hope you can fix this issue.

Thank you!

With kind regards,
Jeroen

Hi,
I have used your plug in on a friend site but the list order is showing the oldest first instead of newest first.
I looked into this and added the code into the functions.php
function hg_testimonial_rotator_order($template_name, $testimonial_id)
{
return ‘DESC’;
}
add_filter(‘testimonial_rotator_order’, ‘hg_testimonial_rotator_order’, 10, 2);
But still doesn’t seem to work.
Thanks,
Zoe

I’m using the longform rotator template and would like to change the number of characters shown in the full testimonial, so that I don’t have to link to the full testimonial elsewhere because I’m just a few words too long.

Is there a way to do this? I don’t see a character limit in any of the docs.

Hi Support,

We are using the Testimonial Rotator but it is always failing Google’s Rich Results Test.
Under the test’s “Review Snippets, it is showing “Missing field “item” for the testimonial block.

Will the plugin provide a structured data-friendly markup for the testimonials that will pass Google’s test?

We need this for SEO.

Thanks!

Hi, thanks first for this awesome plugin ??

I would like to increase the transition speed to something lower than 1 second but it didn’t seem to work using the shortcode attribute as such :

[testimonial_rotator speed="0.25"]

I also tried different values like :
.25
0,25

Are values below 1 not accepted ?

I’m attempting to post a testimonial as a widget on my home page, and no matter which rotator option I choose the testimonial title (or highlight) isn’t appearing. The hide title option is NOT selected. I don’t know what to do.

Hello,

Great plugin, already using it and it is very helpful.

My question is pretty straightforward. I want to show the exact number of testimonials for each rotator, like this i would have something like:

“This product has a total of 6 reviews with an average of 4.5”

The shortcode for the average number is already included but not the number of reviews. It would be useful for it to change automatically when more testimonials are added.

Thank you in advance,
Francisco

Great plugin. I love the styles and want to use it.

I created some testimonials and tried to get it to work within a Divi module and all that came up was blankness. Please see: https://www.myseniorhomeadvisor.com/auto-draft/

Is there a way to get this to work within Divi?

Thanks,

Jeff

Hi, we’re experiencing some problems with the Rotator on our site, which is displaying various error messages:

Notice: Undefined variable: post in …/wp-content/plugins/testimonial-rotator/frontend-functions.php on line 110

Notice: Trying to get property ‘id’ of non-object in …/wp-content/plugins/testimonial-rotator/frontend-functions.php on line 110

We’d be grateful for an update to fix the problem, or some guidance on what might be going wrong. Thanks!

I would like to add video testimonials to my collected data. (Most of our clients do them as part of our exit interview.) Is this possible? Can I add a field to the table, and the form?

Hello. I haven’t been able to translate or remove the title of the Testimonials archive page. Does anyone know how to either translate or remove that title?

“Testimonials Rotator” plugin code works only on my german website but not in english?

I tried more times its exactly the same code and it works only on german website but not english, how it can be!?!? Please did someone know that?

Hi there,

I have a question, I downloaded your plugin and it works perfectly in English. Recently I have created an arabic version of the website and I was wondering if it’s possible to allow the testimonials to appear in arabic ( i can translate them) to appear instead of english?

Cheers,
zeina

How can you change the testimonial quote and title/role colors to be both white? I tried in css but it’s not changing.

Hi there. Google has done some updates and my Webmaster Tools is telling me that your plugin is causing issues with snippets as per the following – Some fixes failed for Review snippets issues for site – Are you looking into something to remove this error from your plugin? There have been a number of previous requests.

Hi, I can’t work out how to add a meta description to the testimonial archive page. Any help would be appreciated.

There is an error that can be easily fixed:

Trying to get property ‘post_type’ of non-object in /home/backtoyouacct/public_html/dev/wp-content/plugins/testimonial-rotator/frontend-functions.php on line 109

Just change it to this: if( get_post_type() == “testimonial” )

Hi, Google Search Console detected issues on each of the testimonials in this rotator on this page saying, “Item does not support reviews”. I have inserted the Company name into the Name field in the rotator settings. Research suggests that Google thinks that these are self-serving however they are genuine testimonials given and reproduced using the Testimonial Rotator plugin.

Any ideas?

Hi there,

It would appear that the “Archive Slug” option does not work.

We already had a page at “/testimonials/” and aren’t using your plugin to list them all on a page like that anyway, so I wanted to change it.

I changed it to “testimonials-list”.

I saved, reset permalinks in WordPress, and even toggled it several times.

But nothing comes up at /testimonials-list/, and it’s still breaking the functionality of my /testimonials/ page.

What’s also weird is that if I disable the plugin and re-enable it, the /testimonials/ page will work for a while, but then break again.

Can you please take a look? Is it broken in the current version of WP?

I am trying to create a rotator for testimonials submitted on the great impact the donations all these participants are having.

I successfully created a rotator using your tutorial and I created a form using the Ninja Forms plugin that is working well on my site.

The form works and captures the input.

I tried to use the tutorial you posted on how to have the form automatically post the testimonial to the rotator. I created a hidden field with the rotator_id you had in the video and the number the video told me how to find.

Unfortunately the video is for a different form and what it tells me to do does not match up.

These folks are really going above and beyond in all the hand sanitizer they are donating and providing (600 bottles just yesterday to at risk communities). We really want them to get credit, but our all volunteer group does not have any web gurus so I am afraid we are more than a bit lost.

Can you help?

Bob

Hello,

I just tested Strong Testimonials plugin.

As it seems, this one does additionally have a built in possibility to create & configure forms …
do I get it wrong, that Testimonial Rotator needs other form plugins to collect form data from the users?

Thank you, Markus

Hi,

Does this plugin also go together with other form plugins than Gravity Forms?
For example with Contact Form 7?
If yes, is there any tutorial for it available?

Best regards and thx in advance
Markus

Hi,
Thanks for this great plugin. The testimonials look great.
Is there documentation on how we can use the plugin to display shema markup to show the ratings on google rich snippets. Is there a Pro option of the plugin where this works straight away?
On the first page https://www.livesteelbands.com, I have added schema markup and three reviews in mark up format, it then shows the rich snippets.
On the total reviews page, there are 44 reviews, just wanted to check if there was a more straight forward way to achieve what I have done on the first page.

Thanks

Is this possible to show only 1 testimonail in mobile ?

Need to show 3 in desktop and 1 in mobile

There seems to be an error when displaying on mobiles. Any help would be appreciated.
