  1. Joe,

    Thanks for the collection. I have been using the Testimonial Slider. I felt a bit tough to update and preview the testimonial content, using it. Do you recommend anything from this list as a better alternative to Testimonial Slider?

    1. Hi Mike, To help with your problem could you tell me 1. Whether you are using one type of slider in particular and if so what it is? 2. Could you explain what you mean when you say it’s tough to update and preview the testimonial content? Please let me know and I’ll have a better idea of what you can use.
