Excerpt of the testimonials

[douvan]

Is there a way to have an excerpt of the first 80 characters display in the widget with the testimonial carousel? My testimonials are long, however I only want to see the first little bit of each on the home page.

Hi,

Unfortunately this is not possible with testimonials, as they do not support excerpts.

You could edit \pinpoint\includes\page-builder\composer\lib\shortcodes\testimonial-carousel.php and have line 53 like this instead:

$testimonial_text = get_the_excerpt();

But you would also need to modify this file: \pinpoint\includes\custom-post-types\testimonials-type.php and change line 50 so it looks like this:

'supports' => array('title', 'editor', 'excerpt'),

The second code will enable excerpts for testimonials.

Hi Cosmin,

Excellent solution! You are very good!

This works for me. If I were to put in a feature request, it would be for excerpt support in the testimonial. I would also love to see a link from the carousel to a testimonial details page.

I know I’m asking alot.

Keep up the good work! It is fantastic!

Thanks, glad to hear it’s working for you 🙂

I’ll try to get Ed’s attention on this, maybe we can see this suggestion make it in a future update 🙂

Also, if you like the product and support, please do rate the theme in your ThemeForest Download section, we would greatly appreciate it!

I second this request. Love the testimonials slider, but my page keeps jumping up and down because each testimonial is different in length.
