  Hello,

  I’d like to know if there’s any easy way (or code) that allows more than 5 testimonials to be displayed at the front page.

  Pretty much what’s described at the title.

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

  Hi there!

  You can set “Testimonials per page” at https://wordpress.com/settings/writing/dragorigames.com. However, if your theme may override this.

  Please check more details about it here https://en.support.wordpress.com/testimonials/.

  Let me know if that helps!

  Hi there. It’s not possible to display more than five testimonials on the front page in TextBook.

  However, since you have the Business plan, you could make this change in a child theme.

  Making a child theme means your changes won’t be overwritten when you update the theme. If you’re new to child themes, you can explore these guides:

  http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
  https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2016/01/create-customize-wordpress-child-theme/
  http://vimeo.com/39023468

  Once your child theme folder is set up, create a copy this file from the parent theme, and place it in the child theme folder, following this folder structure:

  /components/features/testimonials/display-testimonials.php

  In the copy of your file in your child theme, find this line near the top:

  'posts_per_page' => 5,

  Change the number 5 to whatever you prefer.

  Next, zip up your child theme and upload in your dashboard.

  Finally, activate your child theme.

  archanasolanki11 –

  That setting is for the testimonial archive page. It does not affect the front page. It’s always a good idea to test something like this if you’re unsure, before providing it to folks here. :)
