Trustie — Reviews, Testimonials & Google Reviews

Changelog

1.1.17

  • Update: Readme refreshed — clearer positioning, friendlier voice, and better search visibility on the WordPress.org plugin directory
  • New: Masonry layout now renders properly for product review grids — use layout=”masonry” on [trustie_reviews] or [trustie_all_reviews]
  • Fix: Owner responses on reviews now show “Our reply” instead of the site name, so replies read as a single voice across product listings

  • Update: Minor style amendments for review and testimonial cards

1.1.16

  • Fix: Floating widget review summary now renders “Based on N reviews” and the sources line on separate lines instead of collapsing inline
  • Fix: Widget star colours respect Brand Hub variable with fallback
  • Fix: Review request cron recovers cleanly from a stalled state
  • Improvement: Review tile polish — uppercase labels, smaller scale indicator, 2-col grid for custom fields, slider rendering for scale fields
  • Improvement: Custom form fields hidden on reviews-archive tiles (belong on product page only)
  • Fix: Feature registration cleanup — removed ghost toggles and duplicates

1.1.15

  • Fix: Testimonial shortcode now respects the columns layout setting (was defaulting to 3 instead of 2 on fresh installs)
