Easy Testimonial Blocks 1.2.1Latest
- Fix: the custom color picker no longer flickers while you drag. Color settings now include an opacity slider.
Easy Testimonial Blocks 1.2.0
- New: 12 new card designs (Elevated, Outline, Minimal, Speech bubble, Spotlight, Midnight, Aurora, Glass, Accent stripe, Editorial, Pastel and Side by side), chosen from visual thumbnails in the new Design panel. Classic stays the default, and existing grids are unchanged.
- New: accent color setting for the card designs that use one.
- New: card hover effects: Lift, Grow, Glow, Highlight border and Focus (fades the other cards).
- New: custom card shadow with separate Normal and Hover settings (offset, blur, spread and color) and a live preview.
- New: plugin dashboard under Settings → Testimonial Blocks, with live testimonial stats, a list of the pages that use testimonials, a getting-started checklist, one-click pages from ready-made designs, and the video tutorial (it loads from YouTube only when you press play).
- New: design picker. A newly inserted Testimonial Grid lets you choose a ready-made design with live previews, or start blank. Inside columns or other blocks, only the testimonial cards are used.
- New: 13 ready-made testimonial patterns (three cards, featured quote, two columns, dark section, wall of love, spotlight, speech bubbles, aurora gradient, frosted glass, accent stripe, editorial, side by side and minimal) in the Testimonials pattern category.
- New: native background, gradient, text color, padding and margin controls for the whole testimonial grid, using your theme’s presets.
- New: more search keywords in the block inserter, such as “reviews”, “rating” and “social proof”, and sample testimonials in the inserter preview.
- New: translation template (languages/easy-testimonial-blocks.pot).
- Fix: when the quote icon is hidden, the star rating now sits in the same place on the frontend as in the editor.
- Removed: leftover accent bar settings that stopped working in 1.1.0. Existing grids are cleaned up automatically the next time they are edited.
Easy Testimonial Blocks 1.1.2
- Fix: posts containing the testimonial grid were marked as changed every time they were opened in the editor.
- Fix: block editor strings were not translatable because of a text domain mismatch.
- Fix: duplicated grids now get their own unique styles.
- Improvement: reviewer photos use responsive, lazy-loaded image sizes instead of the full-size file.
- Improvement: star rating labels for screen readers are now translatable.
- New: choose the HTML tag for the reviewer name (H2–H6, paragraph or div).
- New: remove a reviewer photo from the block toolbar.
- New: ratings can be set to 0.
Easy Testimonial Blocks 1.1.1
- Security: hardened the grid block’s inline CSS generation with dedicated color, dimension and keyword sanitizers, so malicious block attribute values cannot inject CSS.
Easy Testimonial Blocks 1.1.0
- Replaced styled-components with lightweight dynamic CSS in the editor (smaller bundle).
- Replaced react-rater with a native SVG star rating component in the editor and on the frontend.
- Testimonial stars now render without jQuery on the frontend.
- Sidebar settings reorganized into the native Settings and Styles tabs.
- Updated development dependencies.
