Using this plugin with Elementor

  • I’m hoping someone can help me to figure out if this plugin works with the elementor editing plugin. I cannot seem to place the rotator into the elementor page- but if I select edit with wordpress I can and it shows up- but disappears after I update and go back into elementor to edit otherwise. Help?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Using a local dev site, I verified that Testimonial Rotator works with Elementor and your base Sela theme, when the rotator shortcode is placed in a shortcode widget. (Placing the shortcode in a text widget produced a jQuery error, although the rotator appeared.) Elementor didn’t always provide a preview of the rotator while editing, but the rotator appeared when the page was viewed on the front end.

    Have you disabled other plugins to eliminate possible conflicts?

    Have you modified the Sela theme at all?

    Elementor 2.1.2
    Testimonial Rotator 2.2.7
    Sela version 1.0.17

    Thank you Ryan!
    No modifications to the theme directly- I’ll try the shortcode widget instead of the html and see if I can get it to function! Are there certain plugins I should disable to eliminate conflicts? I have two testimonial plugins- working on the latest testimonial rotator to replace the other- but I didn’t want to disable the other until I could make sure the rotator worked as the site is live. I really appreciate your help!

    Thanks! – Tiff

    Although I am able to place the HTML code into the front page widget areas- the widget section quotes:

    Your theme has 3 other widget areas, but this particular page doesn’t display them.

    You can navigate to other pages on your site while using the Customizer to view and edit the widgets displayed on those pages.

    Is there a way, perhaps a css code to alter it…

    and actually I have modified the theme with minor css changes (such as headline font changes and footer credit)

    CSS changes won’t hide the testimonials, unless you hid them using a display:none CSS rule. I don’t see any such rules.

    Generally, you can temporarily disable a plugin without losing its settings.

    If you’re using widget areas on this theme, you’re not actually using Elementor for that area. The Sela theme has three front page widget areas that are available if you apply the Front Page template to that page (Page Attributes > Template (select Front Page). Your front page currently uses the default template, so they will not appear.

    The rotator shortcode doesn’t appear to work in the Custom HTML widget in those front page or footer widget areas. Use the Testimonial Rotator widget or the Text widget. Shortcodes DO work in HTML or Custom HTML widgets in Elementor.
