I created a testimonial post type to display reviews I have inputted on my site. then I created two functions to create a testimonial block that would display these reviews on certain pages with a shortcode. At first all was working fine but then as I added more and more testimonials they stopped displaying and I have not been able to figure out why. Does anyone have any experience with this. See the two functions include in my functions.php below:

//Testimonial widget

function sal_testimonials_widget($atts){



    //shortcode options

    extract(

        shortcode_atts(

            array(

                'section_title' => 'Testimonials',

                'custom_location_filter' => '',



            ), $atts

        )

    );



    //post data

    $filter_ids = '';

    $post_type = '';



    //initial variables

    $location_filter = '';





    $custom_filters_added = ($custom_location_filter !== '' ? true : false);



    if($custom_filters_added){

        if($custom_location_filter !== ''){

            $filter_ids = $custom_location_filter;

            $post_type = 'Locations';

        }



    }else{

        global $post;

        $post_type = $post->post_type;

        $filter_ids= $post->ID;

    }



    $output = '<div class="testimonials-block-container">';

    $output.= sal_testimonials_block($post_type, true, $filter_ids, $section_title);

    $output.= '</div>';

wp_reset_postdata();

    return $output;

}



add_shortcode('testimonials_widget', 'sal_testimonials_widget');



////Testimonials block

function sal_testimonials_block($testimonial_type, $enabled, $id, $section_title){

      $testimonial_args = array( 

        'posts_per_page' => $init_amount_to_display, 

        'offset'=> 0, 

        'post_type' => 'testimonials', 

        'post_status' => 'publish',

        'orderby' => 'date',

        'order' => 'DESC'

    );



    $testimonials_id_array = array();



    $testimonials = get_posts( $testimonial_args );

    $current_post_id = get_the_ID();

    $current_post_type=get_post_type($current_post_ID);

    $output.='<div class="testimonial-slideshow">';

    if($testimonials):

        foreach ($testimonials as $item) {



            $location = get_field('location_associated_with_testimonial', $item );  

            $city= get_field('city', $location);

            $state= get_field('state', $location);

            $author=get_field('testimonial_authors_name', $item);

            $universal=get_field('is_universal', $item);

            $date=get_field('testimonial_date', $item);

            $customer_city=get_field('customer_city', $item);



            if($location==$current_post_id){                

                $output.='<div class="testimonial-slide">';             

                $output.= '<div class="testimonial-item">';

                $output.= '<q class="testimonial">' . get_post_field('post_content', $item) . '</q>';           

                $output.= ( $author ? '<div class="testimonial-author">' . $author . '</div>' : '' );           



                $output.='<div class="testimonial-location">';

                if(strlen($customer_city)>1){$output.=$customer_city;}

                else{$output.= $city . ', ' . $state;}

                $output.='</div>';

                $output.= ( $date ? '<div class="testimonial-date">' . $date . '</div>' : '' );

                $output.= '</div>';

                $output.='</div>';                  

            }

            if($testimonial_type!='locations'&&$universal==true){               

                $output.='<div class="testimonial-slide">';             

                $output.= '<div class="testimonial-item">';

                $output.= '<q class="testimonial">' . get_post_field('post_content', $item) . '</q>';           

                $output.= ( $author ? '<div class="testimonial-author">' . $author . '</div>' : '' );

                $output.='<div class="testimonial-location">';

                if(strlen($customer_city)>1){$output.=$customer_city;}

                else{$output.= $city . ', ' . $state;}

                $output.='</div>';

                $output.= ( $date ? '<div class="testimonial-date">' . $date . '</div>' : '' );

                $output.= '</div>';

                $output.='</div>';                  

            }

            wp_reset_postdata();

        }

        $output.='</div>';   



    endif;



    return $output;







}

I also used some JavaScript (JQuery) to make a slider to display multiple testimonials on a single page. See below:

/*

     * Location Single Page Testimonial Slideshow

     * Add slick slider to the testimonial section of the lcoation page

    */

    if ($(".testimonial-slideshow").length > 0) {

        $(".testimonial-slideshow").slick({

            dots: false,

            infinite: true,

            speed: 300,

            fade: false,

            cssEase: "ease",

            autoplay: true,

            autoplaySpeed: 8000,

            prevArrow:

                '<div class="slick-prev"><i class="fa fa-chevron-left"></i></div>,',

            nextArrow:

                '<div class="slick-next"><i class="fa fa-chevron-right"></i></div>',

            draggable: false,

            responsive: [

                {

                    breakpoint: 768,

                    settings: {

                        draggable: true

                    }

                }

            ]

        });

    }

I tried flushing the rewrite rules in multiple areas for the custom post type but it seemed to have no effect.

I was able to find my main error. In my second PHP function sal_testimonials_block() I had:

 $testimonial_args = array( 

        'posts_per_page' => $init_amount_to_display, 

        'offset'=> 0, 

        'post_type' => 'testimonials', 

        'post_status' => 'publish',

        'orderby' => 'date',

        'order' => 'DESC'

    );

I realized I never defined $init_amount_to_display, I'm not sure how it was able to work at all originally, but I changed the above block of code to the below and it seems to work fine now.

$testimonial_args = $args = array(

    'posts_per_page'    => -1,

    'post_type'         => 'testimonials'

    );
