## Опис

**Recommendations Widget for LinkedIn** lets you manually add LinkedIn recommendations
to your WordPress site and display them as clean, professional cards via a shortcode
or classic widget.

No API keys. No monthly fees. No third-party branding. Your recommendations, your
site, forever.

#### Features

 * Simple admin UI — paste name, job title, company, recommendation text, and optional
   photo URL
 * Displays as a horizontal scrolling carousel on both desktop and mobile
 * Long quotes clamp to 4 lines with a „Read more / Read less“ toggle
 * Optional „View on LinkedIn“ link on each card
 * Drag-to-reorder recommendations without touching any code
 * Smart photo cropping — portrait photos anchor to the top so faces stay in frame
 * Initials avatar with colour fallback if no photo is provided
 * Graceful image fallback — if a photo URL stops working, initials display automatically
 * Fully responsive — works on any theme
 * Clean, scoped CSS — no conflicts with your theme styles
 * Classic widget support for sidebars

#### Shortcode Usage

Place `[rwfl_recommendations] (or the legacy [linkedin_recommendations])` on any
page or post.

**Options:**

 * `columns` — number of cards per row (default: 3)
 * `limit` — max recommendations to show, -1 for all (default: -1)
 * `show_link` — show the LinkedIn profile link: true or false (default: true)
 * `ids` — show specific recommendations by ID (comma-separated)

**Examples:**

    ```
    [rwfl_recommendations] (or the legacy [linkedin_recommendations])
    [linkedin_recommendations columns="2" limit="6"]
    [linkedin_recommendations columns="1" show_link="false"]
    ```

#### A note on photos

LinkedIn profile photo URLs cannot be hotlinked — they will stop displaying when
loaded from an external site. Save each photo and upload it to your WordPress Media
Library, then use that URL. If any photo URL ever fails, the plugin automatically
shows the person’s initials instead.

#### Why manual entry?

LinkedIn’s API does not expose recommendations to third-party applications. Manual
entry is the only reliable, Terms-of-Service-compliant approach.

## Постављање

 1. Upload the `recommendations-widget-for-linkedin` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress
 3. Go to **Recommendations** in the left admin menu and click **Add New**
 4. Enter the recommender’s name in the title field, then fill in the details below
 5. Publish the recommendation
 6. Add `[rwfl_recommendations] (or the legacy [linkedin_recommendations])` to any 
    page or post

## ЧПП

### Why aren’t the profile photos showing?

LinkedIn photo URLs block external embedding. Save each photo to your computer, 
upload it to your WordPress Media Library (Media > Add New), and use that URL instead.

### Will my data be deleted if I update the plugin?

No. All recommendations are stored in your WordPress database. Updating or reinstalling
the plugin never affects your data.

### Can I control the display order?

Yes. Go to **Recommendations > Reorder** and drag the cards into the order you want.

### What if I don’t have a photo?

Leave the photo field blank. The plugin shows the person’s initials on a coloured
background.

### Does it work with the block editor?

Yes. Add a Shortcode block and paste in `[rwfl_recommendations] (or the legacy [
linkedin_recommendations])`.
