<p>Think Up Testimonials rotator uses WP’s native text widgets and a plugin created sidebar. Put your testimonials into individual<br />
text widgets with the following markup.</p>
<pre><code><h3>Your nice quote from someone saying how great your or business are.</h3><h2>~ Andy Johnson</h2>
</code></pre>
<p>Place the text widget into the sidebar called ‘Think Up Testimonials’. To output the testimonial rotator on the front end, insert<br />
the function `thinkup_testimonials()“ into your theme template files where you want the rotator to appear.  You can also control the<br />
time for each slide and if you want the rotator to autoplay or not through the callback function.</p>
<p>To create a slider within your template that rotates every 9 secs use the code <code>thinkup_testimonials(9000);</code></p>
<p>To stop the default auto-rotate of the plugin, add the <code>false</code> parameter to the callback function like this <code>thinkup_testimonials(9000, false);</code></p>

<p>DMG Text Widget replaces the standard text widget with one that includes advanced options to apply a CSS class, add paragraphs, apply shortcodes, hide the title and make the title a link.</p>
<p>Two hooks are available to filter the title and text; <code>dmg_text_widget_title</code> for the title and <code>dmg_text_widget_text</code> for the text.</p>
<p>For example, to change the title on a single page or post, you could add this to your functions.php file:</p>
<pre><code>function myTitleFilter( $title )
{
    if( is_singular() )
    {
        return "<strong>$title</strong>";
    }
    else
    {
        return $title;      
    }
}
add_filter( 'dmg_text_widget_title' , 'myTitleFilter');
</code></pre>

<h3>Adding CSS Class(es)</h3>
<p>Enter strings, either space or comma separated, which will be applied as CSS classes to the widget wrapper. These classes are sanitized using the <code>sanitize_html_class()</code> function built in to WordPress.</p>
<h3>Make the Title a link</h3>
<p>Enter a valid URL to make the title a link.</p>
<h3>Automatically add paragraphs</h3>
<p>This setting automatically adds paragraph tags to any text. This uses the WordPress <code>wpautop()</code> function.</p>
<h3>Apply shortcodes</h3>
<p>This setting processes the text and applies any shortcodes found.</p>
<h3>Show the Title</h3>
<p>This setting controls the visibility of the widget title. If unchecked, the title (including the <code>before_title</code> and <code>after_title</code> code defined when registering the sidebar) will not be displayed.</p>
