Did you resolve this? * Thread Starter [Uprootednut](https://wordpress.org/support/users/uprootednut/) * (@uprootednut) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-with-update/#post-4749338) * I am using an older version of the plugin, I have updated to the new version on this website [http://jarvisjohnson.s.strategiesuk.net/](http://jarvisjohnson.s.strategiesuk.net/). * Thanks. * [ScytheZ](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scythez/) * (@scythez) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-with-update/#post-4749343) * Same problem here as [http://jarvisjohnson.s.strategiesuk.net/](http://jarvisjohnson.s.strategiesuk.net/) * nudorel.ro * there are paragraphs added before and after the real quote .. which get styled as quotes .. so we get 2 blank quotes bubbles before and after the real one… * The updated version of the plugin on 3.8.3 of WordPress. * [dodg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dodg/) * (@dodg) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-with-update/#post-4749344) * Change line 145 from: $content = apply_filters( ‘woothemes_testimonials_content’, apply_filters( ‘the_content’, get_the_content() ), $post ); * to * $content = apply_filters( ‘woothemes_testimonials_content’, get_the_content(), $post ); * i.e. basically remove the apply_filters from the_content. There is need of this sometimes, but this will work as a quick fix for you. * Plugin Author [James Koster](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jameskoster/) * (@jameskoster) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-with-update/#post-4749348) * You should probably use the `woothemes_testimonials_content` filter to do that 🙂 * I’d be interested to see why this happened though, I suspect it was something to do with the actual testimonial content. I can’t investigate that without a log in though. * Thread Starter [Uprootednut](https://wordpress.org/support/users/uprootednut/) * (@uprootednut) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-with-update/#post-4749350) * Thanks for the replies, dodg’s method seems to have fixed the issue. * [dodg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dodg/) * (@dodg) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-with-update/#post-4749360) * So this is still happening. With the new version (1.5.3) the line in question of course has moved: * woothemes-testimonials-template.php Line 149 Replace from: $content = apply_filters(‘ woothemes_testimonials_content’, apply_filters( ‘the_content’, get_the_content( __( ‘Read full testimonial…’, ‘our-team-by-woothemes’ ) ) ), $post ); * to: $content = apply_filters( ‘woothemes_testimonials_content’, get_the_content( __( ‘Read full testimonial…’, ‘our-team-by-woothemes’ ) ), $post ); * Essentially I am removing the the_content filter, which of course isn’t clever. * I tried using the woothemes_testimonials_content but couldn’t get what I wanted. * I’ve found the issue though, and its not to do with the vanilla plugin. I had this code in my functions: function limestreet_woothemes_testimonials_item_template( $tpl, $args ) { if ( ‘individual’ == $args[ ‘category’ ] ) { $tpl = ‘ * > ‘; > $tpl .= ‘

%%TEXT%%

’; $tpl .= ‘ author”>%%AVATAR%% %%AUTHOR%%’; $tpl .= ‘ * ‘; } else { $tpl = ‘
’; $tpl .= ‘%%AVATAR%%’; $tpl .= ‘
’; } * return $tpl; } add_filter( ‘woothemes_testimonials_item_template’, ‘limestreet_woothemes_testimonials_item_template’, 10, 2 ); * Basically, already effecting the inner text of the testimonial – adding some more

’s. * Youve got this style: .individual-testimonial p { … } to denote how I testimonial should look. Why not give this a class to stop people adding extra paragraph tags that effect the testimonial. * ie: .individual-testimonial p.testimonial_content * Then obviously moving that class into the markup as well. Would resolve all conflicts like this. * Hopefully this helps clear up the problem Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) The topic ‘Issue with update’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/testimonials-by-woothemes_f1f1f1. svg) * [Testimonials by WooThemes](https://wordpress.org/plugins/testimonials-by-woothemes/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/testimonials-by-woothemes/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/testimonials-by-woothemes/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/testimonials-by-woothemes/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/testimonials-by-woothemes/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/testimonials-by-woothemes/reviews/) * 7 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [dodg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dodg/) * Last activity: [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-with-update/#post-4749360) * Status: not resolved
