Showing testimonials according to their tags

[herbhedgerow]

Hi 7th Queen,

I am LOVING your Kleo theme. It is phenomenal. My new site is almost ready to go stratospheric with this amazing new theme, I can’t wait to show all my site members.

I also love the new addition of the tags to the testimonials but when I came to using the functionality, I couldn’t find a way of showing testimonials either in ‘simple’ or ‘carousel’ setting according to their specific tags. I sell online courses and have testimonials for each course, so it would be great to be able to group them according to the product in question so that I can show them on the correct sales page.

Thanks for your help!

Right. Since the tags are new (testimonials and portfolios) and were one of the last things added before the 2.3 update, none of the shortcodes were updated to use them. I’m not sure if that’s even on the 7th Queen’s radar at this point. It shouldn’t be too hard to add and I can look into doing it. But I’d rather wait for the next update that should be right around the bend.

I personally dont use testimonials, so I’m not sure this is possible, but as a temporary solution what about adding multiple testimonial shortcodes and setting them all to display 1 testimonial? So, if you had a place on the page were you wanted to show 3 testimonials, you can set each one to show 1, then use the offset to show the specific ones you want. Obviously not as cool as a carousel and would take more space, but again, just a temp solution.

Thanks for your fast response!

I was planning to use the work around you suggested, the only problem with that is that I am constantly adding new testimonials to the list and when you use the offset to show a specific one, it takes the numbering from the top. In other words, if I have 20 testimonials and I choose to show testimonial number 2, then as soon as I add another testimonial to the list (creating 21 testimonials in total), then the shortcode will show my previous number 1 testimonial on the list (if that makes sense). This means that every time I add a testimonial I would have to go through each one of my sales pages manually updating the numbering on each one of my shortcodes. And I haven’t really got enough hours in the day to run my business as it is… 🙂

I just threw a test together and it works. There’s really no difference when using the simple layout. See attached.

You dont have to convince me of why it would be great 🙂 That’s why I offered to do it.

Hit submit too soon. Anyhow, let me sync up with @abe. We haven’t talked much because of the holidays. It will be added even if I have to code it. I just dont know when.
