  I can not get the testimonials feature to work on my site. I am using the Motif Theme.
  I does not appear on my website, but when I write a testimonial and click to view it shows up, but not when you go directly to the site. I read the info on the Motif theme and the site they had to go to shows up as an error.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Testimonials

  Motif features a dedicated testimonial archive page and displays two randomly-selected testimonials on the front page template.

  To add a testimonial, go to Testimonials → Add New in your dashboard. Testimonials are composed of the testimonial text itself, the name of the customer, and an image or logo (which can be added as a featured image).

  You can add the testimonial archive to a custom menu using a custom link. The testimonial archive page can be found at http://mygroovysite.wordpress.com/testimonial/ — just replace http://mygroovysite.wordpress.com/ with the URL of your website.

  Once you have published a testimonial, you will find, under the Testimonials menu in the dashboard, a link that takes you to the Customizer. There, you can edit the archive page title, add an intro text, and assign a featured image. https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/motif/

  You can create a custom menu and include that link in it.

  Thanks for getting back to me. I had read the above before and this time put in my website in the url and I got the testimonial page up that I had customized. But I can not get that page link onto my website. i created a testimonial page and put it in menu 1 but when you click on it from the menu you get a oops nothing found. The only way to see the testimonial page is to put that in a separate url. Also if I understand the Motif theme, testimonials are suppose to appear on the front page at random and the one I have does not appear anywhere. Thanks again for your help.

  I’ve never used this theme and don’t have time to set it up on my test blog. I did a Google search and located earlier threads on this here motif testimonial site:en.forums.wordpress.com Please check them out while waiting for another Volunteer or Staff to help you.

  Can you use testimonials in the .org site as well. I don’t see this option there in de admistrator?
