 * Please could you add support for Categories for testimonials. This would allow
   a testimonial to be categorised (for example; for a photographer’s website, customer
   or client categories might exist), and then have testimonials to be displayed
   based on the category they are in (on your page for selling stock photos you’d
   display testimonials from Customers, while on your Services page you might display
   the category ‘Clients’.)
 * Ideally categories should be nested so you could have:
 * Clients
    – Portraiture – – Black and White – – Color – Architecture Customers–
   Canvas Prints I.T. Testimonials – Place of work 1 – Place of work 2 – – Subitem
 * You should be able to call ‘All’ or by any category based on the hierarchical
   structure.
 * I hope this is a feature that can be easily implemented.

 * Additionally, Testimonials should have the ability to belong to multiple categories.

 * Try adding this to functions.php:
 * /** Add category support to Testimonials custom post type */
    add_action(‘init’,‘
   my_custom_init’); function my_custom_init() { register_taxonomy_for_object_type(‘
   category’, ‘testimonial’); }
