 * Hi. Your plugin is exactly what I need if I could only get it to show up. I’ve
   created the rotators and the testimonials and inserted the specific rotator widget
   into the page (via Widgets) but nothing appears except the titles. I created 
   a text widget and inserted the shortcode into that and still nothing. What am
   I doing wrong?

 * Hi Kate,
 * Strange. I was hoping for an error of some sorts but there is nothing. Just to
   confirm, when you added the testimonial you specified which rotator you wanted
   it to be attached to?
 * Any chance you could create me a login? Only if you’re comfortable with that,
   otherwise we’ll keep trying stuff through here. My email is [hal@halgatewood.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inserting-shortcode-into-custom-template/hal@halgatewood.com?output_format=md)

 * I did specify the rotator I created. I’ll email you a login. Thanks.
