   So one big thing that seems to be missing from this plugin is that it doesn't return the Category of the testimony.

   can you explain a little further? I added in stuff the other day for it to show a listing a based on a category. Haven't tagged it to a new version yet as I'm working on other goodies before I do.

   %category% - or - %categories% should be one of the tags accepted by the template. That's what I mean. I guess it could get a lil complicated if a post is associated to multiple categories.

   I just added an update with a new template api. you can add the tag yourself by adding this to your functions.php. after that you can use it however you like.

   add_action( 'tbt_template_functions', 'add_category_to_tbtestimonials' );
   
   /**
   * add a 'category' variable to tbt
   *
   * @param mixed $twig
   */
   function add_category_to_tbtestimonials( $twig ){
       $twig->addGlobal( 'category', call_user_func( 'my_category_func' ) );
   }
   
   /**
   * callback for category tag
   *
   */
   function my_category_func()
   {
       $categories = wp_get_object_terms( get_the_ID(), 'tbtestimonial_category' );
       if( isset( $categories[0]->name ) )
           return $categories[0]->name;
   }

   or you could return $categories ( wp_get_object_terms() call ) and then do a loop in the template to display more than 1 category.

   Template Example:
   

   {% if category %}
     Categories:
     {% for cat in category %}
         <span class="category">{{ cat.name }}</span>
     {% endfor %}
   {% endif %}

   New my_category_func for functions.php that returns array
   

   /**
   * callback for category tag
   *
   */
   function my_category_func(){
       return wp_get_object_terms( get_the_ID(), 'tbtestimonial_category' );
   }

   I didn't want to open a new discussion, because the title would be the same, however...

   I can't seem to output the shortcode for a testimonial "category" like such:
   [testimonial cat='Technology' template='shortcode']

   But this works, without the category filter:
   [testimonial id='all' template='shortcode']

   I am testing with only 1 testimonial. I am positive that 1 testimonial has been assigned the category 'Technology'. I'm thinking this should work, but there is no output.

   Hey Travis. Thanks for the quick reply!

   Trying [testimonial cat="technology"] did not work either.

   Let me know if you'd like me to try other things.

   Cheers,
   Marty
