Hello @BraxtonEcom
Its Artzen Technologies! We will be happy to help you today.
- Open your website’s Dawn theme code editor .
- Create a new section named “Testimonial” or find an existing section where you want the slider to be placed.
- Within the “Testimonial” section, paste the code for the fully customized testimonial slider.
{{ 'section-image-banner.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
{{ 'component-slider.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
{{ 'component-slideshow.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
{%- if section.settings.slide_height == 'adapt_image' and section.blocks.first.settings.image != blank -%}
{%- style -%}
@media screen and (max-width: 749px) {
#Slider-{{ section.id }}::before,
#Slider-{{ section.id }} .media::before,
#Slider-{{ section.id }}:not(.banner--mobile-bottom) .banner__content::before {
padding-bottom: {{ 1 | divided_by: section.blocks.first.settings.image.aspect_ratio | times: 100 }}%;
content: '';
display: block;
}
}
@media screen and (min-width: 750px) {
#Slider-{{ section.id }}::before,
#Slider-{{ section.id }} .media::before {
padding-bottom: {{ 1 | divided_by: section.blocks.first.settings.image.aspect_ratio | times: 100 }}%;
content: '';
display: block;
}

Thank you so much. That’s done the trick.
There’s a slight problem though - on the customise screen, it’s now showing “To preview your changes, color schemes must be defined in settings_data and settings_schema files.”
What exact changes do I need to make to these files?
Any advice is really appreciated.

Perfect. Thank you so much 
glad the solution helped you
Hello @Artzen_tech
Thank you so much for your solution !
is it possible to add a background image to the slide show to make it looks like this with the quote image ?
Hi thanks for that code section for testimonials. How would I add a row of stars underneath the testimonial as well as a persons name?
Hello, I am looking for a similar solution but I am not able use and save this code . I am suing Dawn 2 and it gives me this error and does not save.
Checkout out our newly created free testimonial section below:
If you don’t have the time to code it yourself or don’t want to hire a programmer, you can check out a product I coded on Etsy. You can install it in just a few clicks and get your testimonial slideshow up and running. Here’s the link: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1810241569/shopify-testimonials-slider-testimonials
Hi,
Instead of creating the code yourself, you can easily add a ready-made testimonial section to your Shopify theme. We offer a dedicated testimonial section that you can integrate directly into your store.

This section is designed to seamlessly integrate with the Dawn theme and will adapt perfectly for both laptop and mobile views. Simply purchase and follow the provided instructions to add it to your store.
If you need any further assistance with the integration, feel free to reach out!
Many thanks,
Nico from sayweb
You can add a custom section for testimonial slider which could auto slide without using any App.
I have added a section and copy the code you provided in edit code but it is not showcasing any slide show on my home page.
What to do next.
