Example
Brightside Cleaning, a fictional cleaning business, adds "They left the flat spotless before we handed back the keys", by "Jo M., tenant", Order 1. A quote from a local newsletter gets Order 2 and a link to the article. The Testimonials section on its home page shows Jo's quote first.
If something isn't working
- The quotes you ticked as Featured aren't the ones shown first. The section follows Order, not Featured. Give your favourites the lowest numbers.
- Your rows don't show on your website. Check the section is on a page (Put on a page) and that you've pressed Publish since adding it.
- Your table isn't offered under Your table. That section needs a table made from this one, with its columns. Pick Custom in Add a section to show any table instead.
- There's no New data button, or it says "You don't have access to make lists here." Your role can't make tables. Ask an admin of your business for access.
- "These changes are out of date. Review them and apply again." Press Review changes again, then Apply.
Limits
- Quotes aren't copied in from review sites. Add each one yourself.
