The Name and Email field, I now find by testing, are not required in the comment form displayed on FabClub, but I had earlier presumed that they were.
-
Aha!!!! The problem being that I set the children to gridpages (i somehow thought that I had to tell them to be in a grid… Overthinking it clearly). Now it works just fine.
I’m going with the comments instead Of contact Box for now but Thank you for your advice.
Just one more question, if I change to Contact, is there a easy way for Me to “click publish” in my notification mail, or do I have to manually copy past from the email to the site to publish it..?Thanks!!

@ supernovia, the fabcoach,
I’ve now figured out what somehow eluded me yesterday, that what I took to be a different comment format on pages vs. on posts is just the Contact Form (hits self in head).
So, now I find
- the Contact Form in just two pages: Fab Club and Schema
- Comments (Kommentera) enabled on four pages: Rescue, High Heels, Fab Face, and Gentleman
- No Comments or Contact Form on the other pages, and the testimonials page
- Comments enabled on all of the single posts I’ve checked
-
Is that how you want it, thefabcoach?
Just one more question, if I change to Contact, is there a easy way for Me to “click publish” in my notification mail, or do I have to manually copy [and paste] from the email to the site to publish it..?
I don’t know. Publish what? Will let supernovia handle this question.
-
Yes Thanks! Things are now as i want them (I’ve done some more changes)
About the Testimonials Page (omdöme). Is there a way to add a comment Box on that Page as well? Or do I have to add testimonials from clients manually, or can they do it themselves?
Thank you!
-
You’re welcome. Comments can not be added to a Testimonial page. This can be deduced from the facts that
1. There is no Discussion module in the testimonial page editor, as there is in a post or page editor, which includes the optional “Allow comments” check box.
2. In the drop-down Screen Options menu, there is no option to enable “Discussion.”
Assignment to a User Role would be necessary to allow a visiting member to create their own Testimonial page, but it’s unclear to me which role would be the minimum. It might be only available to Editors and Administrators.
Alternatively, you could use a contact form in the testimonials (“Omdömen”) page. For unknown reasons, my attempt to add a contact form with just a comment box in it to a test testimonial on my site, using a shortcode provided in the Contact Form support page, failed.
-
Please ignore my paragraph in the previous post beginning
Assignment to a User Role would be necessary to allow a visiting member to create their own Testimonial page…
I was momentarily confused.
-
Hi @thefabcoach, you would need to copy and paste the testimonials manually. If it becomes a big problem on your site, let us know and I’ll give that feedback to our developers and designers. Cheers!

I’m back! :)
New question: I have now manually added old comments to the Rescue-page. Worked fine. But now I see that the “add comment box” appears at the bottom of the page, and the more comments there will be the more you will have to scroll if you want to leave a new comment. Is there any way to make the comment-box show above all the comments? So you don’t have to scroll through them all?
Thank you!
-
Hi again!
I have now manually added old comments to the Rescue-page. Worked fine.
Looking good. However, I’m presuming that the comments weren’t all submitted by the same person. You may edit the author fields.
Is there any way to make the comment-box show above all the comments? So you don’t have to scroll through them all?
I don’t know. Guessing that it might be possible with CSS customization. Perhaps supernovia or another staff member will be able to provide a definitive answer to this question, and suggestions.
-
It may well depend on your theme, but since comments are usually seen as part of a conversation, it makes sense to put them below the other comments, where the person would have had a chance to read what others have had to say.
I think that’s the key difference between comments and testimonials or other user-generated content, by the the way. Comments are conversation.
-
Hi again.
hm… Well, the way I want it, is that I have different courses (Rescue, Fabface, High Heels) and I want students to be able to give a review afterwords. In the translation to swedish it’s a “comment”. But if there is a way to put a “testimonial box” on these pages instead I’ll do that, if that is better….? I don’t want the box where they are writing to be at the bottom of the page.
So far I thought that page visitors couldn’t write the testimonials themselves (Hi @thefabcoach, you would need to copy and paste the testimonials manually. )
So, what do I need to do to so it’s easy for the students to write something? To get the “box in which they write” (comment or testimonial?) to appear above the already given comments?
I might add that I will upgrade this page to a premium soon so I can add the right www-adress. Will this make things easier?
(Ps – musicdoc1 The comments I have posted manually are from prior courses and given to us on paper. And they are all anonymous, hence the author now says “Rescue-student”, “FabFace-student”…)
Thank you! :)
-
For this theme, I’d recommend the following:
– Have user submit testimonials via the contact form page, or even by soliciting feedback after your courses.
– Add that feedback via the Testimonials feature and display those on your front page
– For feedback on individual course pages, actually edit the page and paste your best testimonials into it. We can likely help you style them to look like the testimonials on the front page.
Does that work for you?
-
Hi again!
Ok so I did this, I’ve put all of the testimonials from all classes on the testimonial page (omdömen). In admin I can se that I have 93 testimonials but there are only 20 showing “live”.
Do I need to tell it to show all testimonials (where do I do that?) or how do I get it to show all testimonial just by scrolling down.
Thank you
-
hm. I think I found it. I changed it to show 200 post/page but it doesn’t seem to apply it “live”…?
(can I somehow attach a screen dump pic in this conversation?)
-
I think it may only show the latest 20, for performance purposes.
You could try making a page though with this shortcode. Just paste that into a new page and see if you like the results:
[testimonials columns=3 showposts=100]
-
Hm… well it seems a bit unnecessary to have to make a “fake” page when the testimonial-service exists…. And also, if it only can show 20 why can one add more than that in the admin? (i have 93). It seems like it should be a easy way for the designer to decide how many one wants to show, not having to go around the problem by making a new fake page where you can’t handle and sort the testimonials as easy as you know can in the testimonial admin.
This is where i found the option to let the page show 200 (a numer I choose, it said 20 from the beginning) in the panel setting. But why doesn’t it change “live” when I change it to 200.
https://thefabcoach.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=jetpack-testimonial&mode=listPlease let me know how to solve this as it really is the best solution to my comment/testimonial issue.
thank you! :)
-
It shows the latest ones. I hope that helps. I’ll pass along feedback to add pagination to the testimonials page, though.
-
Hm… very strange, that the site offer this feature but your developer have chosen a set amount of testimonials to be shown? Do I understand it correctly that there is no way that I can affect how many testimonials I want to show on my testimonial page?
Will this problem be changed in the near feature or do I have do make a fake page if I want to show more than 20 testimonials?
You refer to a shortcode above, “past this into a new page [testimonials columns=3 showposts=100]”. Where do I past this? In the HTML-window of the page? At top of the page? Are we talking about a “regular page” or have I misunderstood something?
Thank you! :)
-
This theme currently shows only the latest testimonials.
And yes, you would create a new page (maybe called testimonials) and paste the code into the window, just like it is regular text.
-
AH! THANK you!
I didn’t understand that it would be this easy and that the page would “take” all the testimonials already posted by me. I thought I had to redo it all from scratch. Thank you, thank you, now I’m happy!
And I even got to ad the comment-form. :)
