# Custom field name not appearing in (strong) testimonial

 * I created a custom field, “City” and named as “city_name”. When I add the [strong
   form] code, the form displays all fields including city. However when I view 
   the testimonials page, city is not displayed. Checking the testimonials in wp
   admin pages, the city_name field is present and the city is populated.
 * Code:
 *     ```
       [strong per_page="5" nav="before,after" title]
       [client]
       [field name="client_name"]
       [field name="city_name" class="city"]
       [/client]
        [/strong]
       ```
   
 * What am I missing?
 * Thanks! / Charles

 * Sorry, I should have tested it first.
 * Try this:
    (your code was missing a closing `</div>` so double-check that)
 *     ```
       <div class="strong-container <?php echo $container_class_list; ?>">
       	<div class="strong-content <?php echo $content_class_list; ?>">
       		<?php while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); ?>
       		<div class="<?php echo $post_class_list; ?> post-<?php echo the_ID(); ?>">
       			<div class="inner">
       				<h3 class="heading" style="font-style: strong; italic;"><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
       				<?php /* The Content Block */ ?>
       				<div class="content">
       					<?php /* Thumbnail */ ?>
       					<?php /* Removed in favor of if/then/else below */ ?>
       					<?php /* See original testimonials.php in plugins */ ?>
   
       					<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) : ?>
       					<div class="photo"><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></div>
       					<?php else : ?>
       					<?php echo get_avatar( wpmtst_get_field( 'email' ), 150, '' ); ?>
       					<?php endif; ?>
       					<?php /* Sets review exerpt to 200 characters */ ?>
       					<?php wpmtst_field( 'truncated', array( 'char_limit' => 200 ) ); ?>
       				</div>
       				<div class="readmore"><a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>">Read more</a></div>
       				<?php /* The Client Block */ ?>
       				<div class="client">
       					<?php /* Custom Fields */ ?>
       					<div class="name"><?php wpmtst_field( 'client_name' ); ?></div>
       					<div class="company"><a href="<?php wpmtst_field( 'company_website' ); ?>" target="_blank"><?php wpmtst_field( 'company_name'); ?></a></div>
       					<div class="city"><?php wpmtst_field( 'city_name' ); ?></div>
       				</div>
       				<div class="clear"></div>
       			</div>
       		</div>
       		<?php endwhile; ?>
       	</div>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * Add this to your child stylesheet:
 *     ```
       /*
       The theme gives <h3> a weight of 500. Try 700 for traditional bold.
       The plugin adds the quote symbol as a background image.
       */
       .strong-container .testimonial .heading {
       	font-style: italic;
       	/* font-weight: 700; */
       	background: none;
       	padding-left: 0;
       }
       ```
   
 * And now the shortcode only needs to be:
 *     ```
       [strong per_page="5" nav="before,after"]
       ```
   
 * because the template handles the rest.

 * Man…I counted the open/close a half dozen times and still missed one.
 * Okay this part of the code produces the avatar, but not featured image which 
   is the site logo (and, honest, it is set as featured image)
 *     ```
       <div class="content">
       					<?php /* Thumbnail */ ?>
       					<?php /* Removed in favor of if/then/else below */ ?>
       					<?php /* See original testimonials.php in plugins */ ?>
   
       					<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) : ?>
       					<div class="photo"><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></div>
       					<?php else : ?>
       					<?php echo get_avatar( wpmtst_get_field( 'email' ), 150, '' ); ?>
       					<?php endif; ?>
       					<?php /* Sets review exerpt to 200 characters */ ?>
       					<?php wpmtst_field( 'truncated', array( 'char_limit' => 200 ) ); ?>
       				</div>
       ```
   
 * still missing something… I read the stuff on featured images, but nothing seems
   to help

 * Chris
 * Now I see…
 * I selected a featured image on the Reviews/Testimonials page (the one with the
   excerpts) which seemed logical to me.
 * Playing around for a few minutes, I need to put the featured image on the page
   of the full review, then it shows up in the excerpt (good), but appears at the
   top of the post in a very huge size (bad), but I think that’s a css issue and
   I’ll work on that.
 * I do see that if I put an image in the post (i.e., “insert media”) the image 
   appears in the full post page, but not as a thumbnail in the excerpts page. I
   have to put the image in the featured image spot, but it shows up large, so again,
   a CSS issue.
 * As I suspected, operator error…

 * Me too. In testimonials.php, try
 *     ```
       the_post_thumbnail( 'thumbnail' )
       ```
   
 * or
 *     ```
       the_post_thumbnail( array( 150, 150 ) )
       ```
   
 * A big part of the learning curve is learning to think “Is there a WordPress function
   or option for that?”

 * CSS Hero is awesome…I used that to globally (and dynamically) change the featured
   image on the full text testimonial page.
    I also dynamically modified the responsive
   layout (text and image) for smartphone / tablet (perfect in portrait, not correct
   in landscape so back to the drawing board. Anyway, a great plugin for quickly
   and dynamically, modifying css.
 * I’ll give the code change a try… getting there.

 * When I said “Me too” earlier, I meant **my** operator error, not yours 🙂
 * It’s looking good. The full post uses the `single.php` template. You can copy
   that from the parent to your child theme and perform similar customizations as
   you did for the testimonials page. If you want your customizations to only apply
   to testimonials, not regular posts, name the file `single-wpm-testimonial.php`.
