 * Hello,
    This is a great plugin – thanks!
 * One problem I’ve been having – I updated the css to change the width of the lists,
   made the author line smaller and italicized. Whenever an update is made, it overrides
   my changes and so I have to copy and paste them back. Is there a way to retain
   changes to the css without saving and pasting them back in? I just worry that
   when I hand over the site to the client they will not be able to figure out how
   to change it back.
 * Thank you,
    Jess

 * I have the same problem and I guess it’s because when I do the plugin update,
   it removes the previously installed plugin and install a new one. Is there an
   area where we can just check the particular files being updated and just replace
   those files manually?

 * Royald, that sounds like a good idea, or – not sure if this is possible with 
   plugins – but is there a way to make a “child” for the style? Thanks again! 😉

 * I’m curious, why aren’t you guys aren’t using a custom stylesheet so that your
   plugin and theme stylings aren’t lost on updates.
 * It’d be better that you go for the practice of using your own custom stylesheet
   which is included via your theme functions.php file or a custom functions file
   like the following.
 *     ```
       wp_register_style( 'testimonials-widget', plugins_url( 'testimonials-widget.css', __FILE__ ) );
       wp_enqueue_style( 'testimonials-widget' );
       ```
   
 * Do keep in mind that the above is for a plugin’s CSS, but looking up the `wp_register_style`
   function on how it works will give you the right idea on including your custom
   stylesheets.
 * Regarding file by file updates, technically, you could unzip the files locally
   and then manually push up the changes, but that’s a pain.

 * Hi Michael,
    I do have a child style – I tried to include the plugin css in there(
   just the code I modified), but it did not pick up the style for some reason. 
   I am still fairly new to the WordPress world, so I am sure there is something
   I am missing. Should it work if I paste the entire modified css into the child
   style? Thank you so much for making such a great plugin and thank you for your
   time. Kindest regards, Jess

 * Is your child theme’s stylesheet being included before or after the testimonial
   widget’s? If before, you might need to add another custom sheet which comes afterward.
 * I would only put the CSS changes into the child. This way the overall page weight
   remains lower.

 * I guess cos we are WordPress newbies 🙂
    Thanks for the tip though, great tip.

 * I fixed the CSS stylesheet in the footer issue with release 2.1.9, you might 
   try your custom CSS changes again.

 * AWESOME! Thanks, Michael! I just updated the plugin and it retained my modifications
   to the CSS. I hope all is well,
    Jess
