Divi testimonial slider

The Divi theme is a popular WordPress theme that includes a built-in testimonial module. However, if you want to create a testimonial slider using the Divi theme, you’ll need to use some custom code. Here’s an example of how you can achieve this functionality:

function wpsnippets_divi_testimonial_slider() {
    ob_start();
    ?>
    <div class="testimonial-slider">
        <?php
        $args = array(
            'post_type' => 'testimonial',
            'posts_per_page' => -1,
        );
        $query = new WP_Query($args);
        if ($query->have_posts()) {
            while ($query->have_posts()) {
                $query->the_post();
                ?>
                <div class="testimonial">
                    <div class="testimonial-content">
                        <?php the_content(); ?>
                    </div>
                    <div class="testimonial-author">
                        <?php the_title(); ?>
                    </div>
                </div>
                <?php
            }
            wp_reset_postdata();
        }
        ?>
    </div>
    <?php
    return ob_get_clean();
}
add_shortcode('divi_testimonial_slider', 'wpsnippets_divi_testimonial_slider');

This code snippet creates a custom shortcode [divi_testimonial_slider] that you can use to display a testimonial slider on your Divi-powered website. It uses the WP_Query class to retrieve testimonial posts and then loops through each post to display the testimonial content and author.

To use this code, simply add it to your theme’s functions.php file or a custom plugin file. After that, you can use the [divi_testimonial_slider] shortcode in any post or page to display the testimonial slider.

Note: This code assumes that you have a custom post type called “testimonial” set up in your WordPress installation. If you don’t have a custom post type, you can create one using the register_post_type() function.
