    Hi

    I would like to replace the section at the bottom of the homepage (Latest Posts) with a testimonial slider type section.

    Can you tell me how I could do that please?

    Thanks very much.

    Hello,

    Greetings from InkThemes!

    You can use the plugin to display testimonial instead of Latest Post on homepage...

    Here are some recommended plugins and their links, please have a look

    GS Testimonial Slider: https://wordpress.org/plugins/gs-testimonial/

    Testimonials Slider: https://wordpress.org/plugins/testimonialslider/screenshots/

    Kento Testimonial Slider: https://wordpress.org/plugins/kento-testimonial-slider/

    You just need to comment out some coding in front-page.php file as mentioned in screenshot given below and paste shortcode of the plugin over there.

    2) remove_blog_testimonial_plugin2.png

    Hope it will resolve your issue

    Do let me know if you need more assistance,

    Thanks & Regards!

    Having looked at this again, I think what I would like to do is keep the Latest Post section as it is, then add another section underneath it for the testimonials.

    Could you give me the code to add a dashed line separator as per above the latest post section, then a full width section where I can insert a testimonials shortcode please?

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello,

    To add a dashed line separator, you can use below code in Custom CSS field of your dashboard.
    Code:
    .blog_feature {
        border-bottom: 1px dotted #c2c2c2;
    }
    To add shortcode of testimonial after blog_feature, please follow the screenshot given below.

    To manage top space of testimonial box, paste the code given below in Custom CSS section of your dashboard.
    Code:
    .testimonial-box {
          margin-top: 53px !important;
    }
    Hope it will resolve your issue
