Thank you for many feedback I’ve received on the Testimonials plugin for WordPress. Several of you have mentioned you are having problems with the edit option after upgrading to WordPress 3.0. I am investigating the problem and will release an update as soon as I can. Thanks again for the support.
Testimonials plugin for WordPress now includes image option
June 7, 2010 By Leave a Comment
A new version of WP-Testimonials is now available for download. In addition to a few minor bug fixes, this update adds the option for testimonials to include an image. The inclusion of an image has been a popular request among users of this plugin.
The image field is designed to be populated with a URL. A link to the WP Media page in the dashboard (opening in a new window) has been included on the testimonial management page to make it easy to grab the URL from any graphic you have uploaded in your WordPress system. You may also use a URL from elsewhere on the Internet.
Settings are available to have the image align left or right within the testimonial text. There is also an option to set the maximum height for the images, giving you more control over how much space they consume.

SFS fosters networking with new group
March 10, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Over the years I have been part of several online membership groups. Taking my experience with each group and speaking with other home business owners over the last year I realized we all face the same challenges. Whether you are a product consultant or a Virtual Assistant – working from home is tough.
I wanted to create a place where everyone facing these challenges could meet and share, socialize and laugh, support and assist each other. Voila – Home Business Network was imagined.
Membership in HBN is absolutely free. Anyone with a home business is welcome to join at no charge. All members have access to the forums to interact with other members on topics of family, work and more. Premium Membership is available for a nominal fee for members interested in a public profile and access to the Job Board section of the forums. Premium Members also enjoy private messaging options and spam bypass on the forums for quicker posting.
There are no member graphics or silly requirements that you link from your site to HBN. You don’t need to offer testimonials on what a great person you are to gain entrance. If you own a home business – you’re invited. Simple.
My goal is to see HBN flourish by members for members. You know best what information you need and what advice you can offer others. By creating a brain trust among our members we can all be a bit more successful and open some wonderful doors to networking previously unavailable through groups focusing only on one type of business.
New version of WP-Testimonials plugin released
August 4, 2009 By 11 Comments
It’s been long overdue, but I finally was able to update WP-Testimonials to version 2.0. This latest version requires WordPress 2.8 or higher due to the new widget control functions. During the updates, I made several improvements and added several configuration options based on requests and feedback from users of the previous version.
WP-Testimonials 2.0 can be upgraded directly within your dashboard or you may download the new version from this site. You may also choose to install the plugin through your dashboard by choosing “add new” under the plugins header and searching for “testimonials”.
For support, please visit the WP-Testimonials Support Page.
Here are the changes made to this release:
- Compatibility with WP2.5 through WP2.8.3
- Random block now pulls testimonial via “ORDER BY RAND” for true random order
- Removed obsolete field in table “views”
- Pages/posts can now be created using shortcode (eliminates the need for a custom theme page)
- Added “read more” link to random sidebar block
- Added configuration options to show/hide “read more” link in sidebar with customizable text
- Added options to delete table upon deactivation
