    Hi,

    I love the plugin so far & have all reviews imported easily.

    However using the shortcode it shows static reviews.

    Ideally I want a pop-up with scrolling reviews so they constantly refresh.

    I might be able to use another plugin for the pop-up but it still wouldn’t show the reviews as revolving.

    I cannot see in the settings where the reviews would refresh; so apologies if i am missing something

    @matthewdorsi Thanks for the feature suggestions!

    This plugin does not directly support appearing popup (as an inbuilt theme option) or constantly refreshing of new reviews.

    To use a popup, just create this using CSS and JavaScript (ask a web designer if needed) or use another plugin that supports a popup with either a shortcode or widget within its content.

    For the constantly refreshing (of new reviews?), perhaps have a JavaScript to perform this action, something like this for each minute:

    <script>
setTimeout(function () { location.reload(true); }, 60000);
</script>

    I wouldn’t recommend this as it will be disruptive to the user experience.

    If you mean infinite scrolling, this is different and this would be quite a bit further down the development timeline.

    If you mean as a carousel/slider, this is further down the development timeline as well.

    hi,

    thanks for the speedy reply. I have added the short code into a pop up plugin and it shows nicely.

    My refresh request wasnt for NEW reviews.. I have many reviews but only want to show 2-3 at a time; but for it to scroll through the ones that I already have with a short delay. im not sure if this is what you mean but infinite scrolling, but I think it would be good for the reviews to change to show off all the reviews and to catch the viewers eye because it is refreshing.

    @matthewdorsi This is the carousel/slider functionality and isn’t part of the plugin’s features at the moment.

    If you feel up to it, you can write a script to show/hide reviews of within a greater list and animate between these.

    interesting..

    i wonder if it would work in my theme slider with custom code id for each slider content box. I will try (as I am not the best at writing unique script.

    thanks for your amazing support.

    @matthewdorsi I’ll have new functionality for carousel in a future release. For the moment, I want to make the general functionality as intuitive, flexible and easy-to-use as possible.
