3.9.3 breaks widget

I’m having the same issue with version 3.9.4 on my end. “Easy Testimonials Cycle” widget doesn’t output anything anymore.

Same here with 3.9.4

The slide show no longer works. Just stuck on the first testimonial.

Same here on 3.9.4.

Carousel stuck on first testimonial.

Also getting a fatal error when I try to use the Shortcode Generator.

Same problem on 2 sites. Version 3.9.3 and version 3.9.4 both break the widget- nothing displays except the title. I’ve tried several of the available widgets (cycle, single, random) and none of them will display.

Also, the shortcode generator doesn’t work.

TypeError thrown

max(): Argument #1 ($value) must be of type array, int given

What did you all do to solve this problem?

It’s not solved. I am changing to a different plugin as there has been no response from the developer

Same here. No fix. No word from developer and no facility to roll back to previous working version.
Almost as if the developer is trying to kill the plugin.
Only option to ditch it for a better one.

That’s disappointing. Easy Testimonials was a solid plugin for many years and Richard Gabriel, who is one of the founders, was always very responsive.

I noticed that the “cycle-slideshow” DIV was pulling in the array (slideshow settings) with double-quotes, so on line 1455 of “easy-testimonials.php” I removed the “esc_html” so:

<div class="cycle-slideshow" <?php echo esc_html($data_cycle); ?>>

…was changed to:

<div class="cycle-slideshow" <?php echo $data_cycle; ?>>

…and it’s working now for me.

I hope this helps someone else!

I switched several sites to Strong Testimonials which has worked very well. The Views feature is very slick.

@erobirds

Thanks for sharing. Your fix worked for me.

Need to clear any cache programs to see it.

Thanks again.

@petebocken, How difficult was it to move the Easy Testimonials data over to Strong Testimonials? I frequently use the Easy Testimonials Random and Cycle widgets. Does Strong Testimonials have something similar? Thanks!

@erobirds, unfortunately your fix didn’t work for the Easy Testimonials Random and Cycle widgets. Was that one of the things it was meant to fix? Thanks!

@idealynx I thought about how to move or export/import the Easy Testimonials over to Strong Testimonials, but have been just manually copy/pasting them. Luckily, so far, the sites I’ve had to work on only had a max of 30 or so testimonials. So it wasn’t a huge effort.

Strong Testimonials does have the ability to setup a random widget. If anything, there are tons more options available or at least they are very easy to work with since you can set up different “Views”.
