[Plugin: SK Testimonials] Featured Image breaks layout

Encountered the same problem. End up all the testimonials are with the default Mystery Man.

Any solutions anyone? Or is there another plugin to recommend?

Unfortunately I have just discovered the very same problem. The second I tried using a featured image it did not work properly. There’s something wrong in this code, and I’m going to take a closer look. Like everyone else, the image doesn’t show and you get a broken image that disturbs any layout you may have.

This is frustrating since this is an otherwise great and very useful plugin. I had also discovered one additional bug earlier pertaining to the checkbox option for abridging the testimonials when in the widget. If you happen to select that option, there is no way to ever undo it. It kind of gets stuck strangely enough. I had to literally remove and re-add each instance of the widget as a work around. Apparently this problem doesn’t occur unless you select that option and press save.

Anyways, where is the creator of this plugin? This issue was reported a month ago, and there’s no response. Not a good sign…

I had the same problem… Figured it out…

In the Admin menu, go to Testimonials > Design Settings

Once in there you can see the HTML that makes up the layout. Delete the second line. I’d paste which line in here, but I deleted it and can’t undo. You’ll figure it out ??

Now when I want to use an image, I just place it in the text editor above the text. Works perfectly and if there’s no image, it doesn’t show that bloody hideous grey head avatar!

I’m using completely custom html and css code. This issue has nothing to do with the html at all. The problem is related to the php script that accesses the featured image when its in use.

This is the line in my html code for the image, and it uses the image variable that should call in the featured image.

<img class=”Border_Solid_2″ src=”%image%” alt=”Client Photo” width=”50″ height=”50″ />

I have seen numerous other people reporting this problem, especially over at the Spotted Koi customer forum. They are the makers of this plugin. Here’s the link to there…

If anyone is able to determine how to modify the controlling php file for this, please let me know. It’s most likely something simple. Unfortunately the makers of this plugin are not responding to any requests for help.

To get rid of this issue, just replace the following line:
<div class="skt_image_cont"><img src="%image%" alt=""/></div>

With:
<div class="skt_image_cont">%image%</div>

Cheers
