Release Testimonials: Client Feedback & Reviews Manager 2.3.8 Released

[XenCustomize]

A new update is available for Testimonials: Client Feedback & Reviews Manager by XenCustomize.

XenCustomize Testimonials v2.3.8 released!​

This update introduces several useful improvements based on customer feedback, (especially suggestions from @stromb0li), along with a few practical enhancements to make the add-on even more polished and flexible in real-world use.

In v2.3.8, we added a new admin option to control the author username tag, improved GDPR-focused account deletion cleanup, refined the testimonial BB code help wording, and added inline "Continue reading" links for abbreviated testimonials. We also added "Random" support for the default testimonial list order and for the Testimonials widget.

On top of that, this release introduces testimonial view counting, plus new category external link support with optional CTA text and built-in click tracking, making testimonial pages more useful for showcasing reviews while also helping drive visitors to related products, services, or landing pages.
