Shortcodes not working

  • Hi,

    I am working on a client website and I am trying to use your testimonials plugin. I can get the widget working fine, but when I try to use the shortcode, nothing happens.

    when I view source on the page that should be displaying testimonials i see the following markup:

    <script type="text/javascript">
       (function(){
            var strEffect = '';
            if(strEffect != 'none')
            {
              jQuery('.data_display').cycle({
                  fx: strEffect,
                  timeout: ''
              });
            }
        })(jQuery);
    </script>
    <div class='data_display'>
      		</div>

    Any idea where I am going wrong? Thanks.

    John

  • John, I was having the same issue today with the shortcodes..Seems if you use order you must also use orderby. The example shortcode in the help section is wrong, try this.

    [swp-testimonial testimonials="1" order="asc" orderby="id" effects="scrollRight" time="5000"]

    alternatively you can include default values in the shortcode.php lines 8-12 like this.

    function swpt_testimonial_shortcode($atts){
	extract(shortcode_atts(array(
   		'testimonials' => '1',
   		'order' => 'asc',
      'orderby' => 'id',
      'effects' => 'fade',
      'time' => '5000',
      ), $atts));

    this way you can use the shortcode with any combination of the available attributes and it will display correctly.
