Description
Think Up Testimonials rotator uses WP’s native text widgets and a plugin created sidebar. Put your testimonials into individual
text widgets with the following markup.
<h3>Your nice quote from someone saying how great your or business are.</h3><h2>~ Andy Johnson</h2>
Place the text widget into the sidebar called ‘Think Up Testimonials’. To output the testimonial rotator on the front end, insert
the function `thinkup_testimonials()“ into your theme template files where you want the rotator to appear. You can also control the
time for each slide and if you want the rotator to autoplay or not through the callback function.
To create a slider within your template that rotates every 9 secs use the code thinkup_testimonials(9000);
To stop the default auto-rotate of the plugin, add the false parameter to the callback function like this thinkup_testimonials(9000, false);
