    Hello!

    I am trying to get our sidebar widget to display an excerpt which they can click to continue reading and it will take them to the full review on a testimonial page. I saw a note in a previous support request about checking a box for “Link Excerpts to Full Testimonial”. Am I missing something? Where is that check box located within the plugin? I am in the testimonial for one of our clients and have tried looking for that check box but I am not seeing it. Can you help? Thanks!

    I forgot to add this….this is my shortcode….

    [testimonials_cycle theme=”clean_style” count=”3″ order_by=”date” order=”ASC” use_excerpt=”1″ hide_view_more=”0″ show_rating=”stars” testimonials_per_slide=”1″ transition=”fade” timer=”9000″ pause_on_hover=”true” auto_height=”calc” show_pager_icons=”1″ prev_next=”1″ q2w3_fixed_widget=”1″]

    And one more question while I am at it. Is there a way to organize the testimonials from Easy Testimonials in one master page rather than each testimonial having it’s own specific page?

    Hey accessmorocco!

    I think you would benefit from reading the docs, here:
    https://goldplugins.com/documentation/easy-testimonials-documentation/easy-testimonials-installation-and-usage-instructions/

    In brief answer to your questions, the Excerpt options are global and can be found under Easy Testimonial’s Display Options (screenshot here: https://goldplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/screenshot-4.png)

    To output a master list of testimonials, use the [testimonials] shortcode (with further information here: https://goldplugins.com/documentation/easy-testimonials-documentation/easy-testimonials-installation-and-usage-instructions/output-a-list-of-testimonials/)

    In general, we recommend using the Shortcode Generator to build your list shortcodes.

    All the best,
    Richard

    Hi Richard –

    Thank you for your response. I appreciate the links. They are very helpful. I didn’t see those extra pages because a few updates put the tabs above my screen where I couldn’t see them. So thank you!

    One additional question that I am not finding in documents – is there a way to set the max height for a fixed widget? I’m out of space and need the testimonial to be maxed out a certain height but I’m not finding how to code that correctly. I have found width but not height. Thanks for your help Richard! Great plugin!

    No problem!

    We don’t have a way to set a height, specifically, for a fixed widget.

    Usually I would recommend using Excerpts and choosing a word limit that keeps things to the height you’re looking for. You could combine that technique with a bit of Custom CSS to set the pixel height, if needed, and that may do it for you!

    Thanks for your kind words!

    All the best,
    Richard
