Troubleshooting
Nothing shows on the front end
- Confirm testimonials are Published. Clear cache. Hard-refresh (Ctrl+F5). Check category filters on the module or menu item.
Form submits but no email arrives
- Check Configuration > Email Address. Test Joomla mail (System > Global Configuration > Mail). Check spam folder.
Shortcode shows as plain text
- Enable Content - Testimonial Fader plugin. Clear cache.
Captcha always fails
- Confirm site key and secret key match the selected reCAPTCHA version. Add your domain in Google reCAPTCHA admin, including localhost for local tests.
Design changes do not appear
- Save the Theme Studio design, confirm the module/menu/shortcode uses that theme ID, then clear cache.
Slider shows zero slides
- Check module source (Component vs Manual slides). Confirm Published testimonials exist for the selected categories.
Photos look blurry or huge
- Lower thumbnail size or raise quality in Configuration > Photos.
Upgraded from 8.x and old forms still work but look plain
- Expected. Attach a Theme Studio design and add new fields gradually. Old rows keep working with empty new columns.
