Replace Just one Word in Testimonials

[ideenreich]

Hi,
I finally managed to see my testimonial preview on the home page (though I have to admit for a non experienced user the description in the manual was not clear at all – assuming too much knowledge esp. about the archive site). The preview finally looks great except the word “Testimonials” above the line. I know someone else posted this issue as well but I don’t understand the given advice by the support at all. This theme is so user friendly, can be customized everywhere and I cannot believe I have to go through such a complex procedure to change just 1 word …?!
Please help, thank you!
Regards Susanne

Hello Susanne,
first thanks for your kind words and as I read, there are some parts of our manual that could not be clear. Could you please help me on this? How could we improve it?

We create our themes following strict developing standards and this allows us to have reliable and maintainable products. For this, we suggest editing text strings like “Testimonials” via a software called Poedit so our customers would not edit the PHP code in few clicks. It’s not a hard procedure. Believe me! 🙂

Here’s the page manual: http://www.themes2go.xyz/manuals/lifecoach/knowledge-base/translating-the-theme/

And here there is a related topic on this forum: https://www.themes2go.xyz/helpdesk/forums/topic/replace-testimonial-title/

By the way, I also explain to you how to change the word “Testimonial” into something else.

Before proceeding, make sure you are using the Lifecoach Child Theme.
Then, using your FTP client go to wp-content/themes/lifecoach/ttgcore-setup/shortcodes/ and make a copy of the file named short-slideshow-testimonial.php.

In your child theme, you have to build the same folder structure of the main theme.
At the end, you will need this path: wp-content/themes/lifecoach-child/ttgcore-setup-shortcodes. Here, move the copy of short-slideshow-testimonial.php.

Edit the file on line 71:

<h3 class="qt-bottom-textdeco"><span><?php echo esc_attr__("Testimonial", "lifecoach"); ?></span></h3>

Change the word “Testimonial” to whatever you need. Save it and the text string should be changed in the testimonial slideshow.

If you need more support on this just reply me back.
