You can display a simple fade slider of all of your testimonials, or only a specific set of product or client testimonials of your choosing. The basic usage of the shortcode doesn’t accept any parameters, but using the shortcode generator you can easily assign parameters in just a few clicks.
To access the fade slider shortcode generator, you’ll want to head into any page or post. On the page/post edit screen, next to the ‘Add Media’ button you’ll find a new button ‘Add Testimonial‘. Click that to bring up the ‘Testimonial Shortcode Generator’ modal.
The first, and default selected, option is the ‘Fade Slider‘. You can go through each of the shortcode settings and adjust them as needed. Once you’ve gone through and adjusted the parameters to your liking, you can click the blue ‘Insert Shortcode’ button at the bottom of the modal to insert the shortcode where needed.
You can also copy the shortcode and use it in template files or anywhere else in your themes.
Basic Shortcode Usage
[testimonial-fade-slider]
Shortcode Parameters
Clients/Products
Depending on which type of testimonial you are displaying on your site, you will either see Clients or Products as the first parameter. You can select ‘All Clients/Products’ to display a fade slider of all of your testimonials, or go through and check off which testimonials you would like to display. If left blank, all clients/product testimonials will be displayed.
Automatic
The automatic toggle sets whether or not the fade slider should transition between testimonials automatically or not.
Duration
The duration toggle allows you to set the duration each testimonial will be displayed to the user before transitioning to the next slide. You can adjust the duration higher or lower as needed. This setting has no effect if the ‘automatic’ setting is set to ‘No’. (Min: 1, Max: 100)
Transition
The transition toggle allows you to adjust the transition of the fade slider. You can set the fade slider to fade or the slide.
Display Controls
The display controls toggle lets you decide whether or not the controls should be displayed for this fade slider. You should always display the controls unless you’ve set the slider to automatic with a reasonable duration set so users know multiple testimonials exist in the slider.
