# Testimonials permalink page, has testimonials inserted without shortcode, etc..?

 * We created a page called “Testimonials” and the testimonials were inserted on
   this page, automatically, without any input from us. That means when we throw
   the shortcode in there to try and control the various arguments, it just ignores
   them and continues displaying them however the default is. I assume if we do 
   it with another name/slug, it’ll allow us to input a shortcode. But really, we’d
   prefer the permalink to match the name of the page.
 * Here’s the page in question: [http://expressplumbingidaho.com/testimonials/](http://expressplumbingidaho.com/testimonials/)
   I added some CSS to create a column layout, but really we’d like to do that with
   the shortcode.

 * You can put the shortcode in a page and it will work but the page permalink can
   not be “testimonials” or it will conflict with the plugin archive page. Change
   your page permalink and it will work.

 * Yes. I can see that. As I mentioned above, we’d really like to have the permalink
   for the page be the same as the page name: it’s testimonials not a single testimonial.
   The plugin should allow a way to override this, or look for the shortcode in 
   the page, 1st, before taking over any page named “Testimonails”.
