    This sounds like a stupid question but I am not sure where to actually paste the shortcode in order to display my testimonials on a page. I have the shortcode necessary

    [testimonials columns=2 showposts=10 orderby=title]

    but I’ve pasted this in both the HTML tab, the Visual tab I’ve even tried pasting it in the CSS attributes box but none seem to deliver as the guide says. The guide just says to paste the text as above but it doesn’t say where…..

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

    Hello,

    Have you activated the Testimonial custom content type? Double check it on your WP Admin Dashboard (add /wp-admin to the end of your site’s URL to open it).

    You can find a detailed guide on Testimonials and how to enable this custom content type, here:
    support.wordpress.com/testimonials/#enabling-the-testimonial-content-type

    If it is activated, this shortcode

    [testimonials columns=2 showposts=10 orderby=title]

    should be pasted to a post or page (either HTML or Visual tab, but definitely not to the CSS :) ) and it will display your testimonials.

    I hope it helps!

    Cheers,
    Gina
