Review feed is acting weird

Hello,

A site I'm working on:

http://valleyoakca.com/tenants/

If you notice on the right sidebar there's a 'Testimonials' section. When scrolling through the reviews the text doubles-up (not sure how else to explain it) and the text gets jumbled up.

Any ideas on how to fix?

Thanks!

You have twice in your code this part

<iframe src="http://www.reputation.com/embed_reviews/valley-oak-property-management-modesto?h=500&amp;w=300&amp;c=&amp;f=&amp;l=&amp;p=20" style="height: 500px; width: 300px; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; border: none;"></iframe>

Just remove one of them and everything will be ok.

Hey Daniel thanks for the reply - the code I've used in the widget area of WordPress is shown below - for some reason its showing up twice when inspecting the element I suppose. Any ideas?

<html>
<head>

<script type="text/JavaScript" src="http://www.reputation.com/js/repbiz_public/reviews.widget.js" type="text/JavaScript" charset="utf-8"></script>

</head>

<body>
<div id="reputation-reviews" style="width:300px;height:500px"></div>

</body>

<script type="text/JavaScript">

var widgetParameters = {
"locationName" : "valley-oak-property-management-modesto",  //required
"containerName" : "reputation-reviews", //required
"reviewsPageSize" : 20,                 //optional - default 20
"hideTestimonialPageLink" : true,       //optional – default false
"whiteLabel" : true,                //optional – default false
"backgroundColor" : "",                 //optional e.g. 333333
"fontFamily" : "",                      //optional
"textColor" : ""                        //optional e.g. 000000
}

window.reputation.reviewWidgetController.init(widgetParameters);

</script>

</html>

Honestly, it's not looking as Wordpress plugin problem. If you disable js on your page it will not produce Testimonial area. So that is looking like you initialize JS-plugin twice on page.

window.reputation.reviewWidgetController.init(widgetParameters);

Twice on page. In page and after body closing tag.

If you type the same code in console it will create 3rd overlaying container. It's not so easy to find "why" without access to the Theme and so on.
