here’s a little example page template I put together that will let users add a new testimonial as a draft. To make it a little prettier, you could move the add_testimonial_from_form() function to your functions.php

<?php

    function add_testimonial_from_form( $post_array )
    {
        $required_fields = array( 'name', 'email', 'testimonial' );
        foreach( $required_fields as $field_name ){
            if( ! array_key_exists( $field_name, $post_array ) || empty( $post_array[ $field_name ] ) )
                return new wp_error( $field_name, 'Required field is missing.' );
        }

        # check email
        if( ! filter_var( $post_array['email'], FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL ) )
            return new wp_error( 'email', 'Email is invalid.' );

        # check url if it's set, it's not required
        if( isset( $post_array['url'] ) && ! empty( $post_array['url'] ) ){
            if( ! filter_var( $post_array['url'], FILTER_VALIDATE_URL ) )
                return new wp_error( 'URL', 'URL is invalid.' );
            else
                $url = $post_array['url'];
        }
        else
            $url = false;

        $new_post = array();
        $new_post['post_title'] = esc_attr( $post_array['name'] );
        $new_post['post_content'] = esc_attr( $post_array['testimonial'] );
        $new_post['post_status'] = 'draft';
        $new_post['post_type'] = 'testimonial';

        if( ! is_wp_error( $new_post_id = wp_insert_post( $new_post ) ) )
        {
            # insert meta

            ## email
            add_post_meta( $new_post_id, 'tbtestimonial_company_email', $post_array['email'] );

            ## company
            if( isset( $post_array['company'] ) && ! empty( $post_array['company'] ) )
                add_post_meta( $new_post_id, 'tbtestimonial_company', esc_attr( $post_array['company'] ) );

            ## url
            if( $url ) add_post_meta( $new_post_id, 'tbtestimonial_company_url', $url );

            # show user notice
            printf( '<div class="updated">Testimonial Added and is awaiting review</div>' );
        }

    }

    # template name: add testimonial
    get_header();

    # check for new testimonail and add it if present.
    if( isset( $_POST['new_testimonial'] ) && is_array( $_POST['new_testimonial'] ) && count( $_POST['new_testimonial'] ) > 0 ){
        if( is_wp_error( $error = add_testimonial_from_form( $_POST['new_testimonial'] ) ) )
            printf( '<pre class="debug">%s</pre>', print_r( $error, 1 ) ); # dump error message
    }

?>
    <section id="content-wrap">
        <form action="" method="post">
            <p>
                <label for="author-name">Your Name</label>

    </section>

<?php get_footer();

Eric this should be fixed now. If not email me directly and I’ll make sure it gets fixed. Didn’t see this post until now, apologies.

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;
}

Good catch Ryan. That will be fixed in the next update which will probably be tomorrow or later tonight depending on when i finish these enhancements.

Jan Van Dank, maybe this will resolve it for you finally as well.

Yeah it’s nice and that’s why I did it like that to begin with. Don’t exactly recall the issue but I was having a problem getting the bundled jQuery to work correctly in the footer, so I unregistered it and used google’s version.

It’s been causing issues for a while though so I think best solution is just to remove the option to load it in the footer or come up with a better way to go about doing it. I’ll see about keeping it as I really don’t want to remove existing functionality. Though it does appear to have an undefined index for js_in_footer that I’m about to release an update for soon.

If you disable loading jQuery in the footer under the General Settings tab it should resolve your issue. In the next version I’m going to do away with the loading the footer all together.Seems to cause a lot of issues and even though I have a work around it seems like a better idea to just do it that way and maybe help reduce some confusion.
