 * I am unable to add existing testimonials to a group this way:
    Testimonials>Edit
   >Highlight Group(s)>Save Testimonial When I do this I get a message “Your update
   has been saved,” but when I return to the Testimonials list the group does not
   appear.
 * I am able to save them this way, but it is time-consuming for adding a testimonial
   to multiple groups:
    Groups>Click on Group ID>Check boxes of testimonials I wish
   to add>Save Group

 * When you edit the testimonial, does it show up highlighted?

 * I have a similar question (but more newbie I’m sure) I am having trouble attaching
   my testimonials to a group. When I’m editing, I can see the group name (the only
   one) showing up in the Groups box on the right, and i even tried clicking on 
   it to highlight, and then saving, but it’s still saying no groups and not appearing
   on the page.
 * Thanks for your help!

 * When you save the testimonial, is there an error notice at the topo of the page?

 * now i know something’s really funky, because I clicked on the group name and 
   checked the boxes of all testimonials and saved the group, but they still didn’t
   show up! all of them have the “display” box checked off in the editor.

 * I can confirm that if a testimonial has been left by a user (and not created 
   by the admin) it’s not possible to select a group while editing the testimonial.
   You can select, but the selection isn’t saved.
 * However, if we select a group ID and check the testimonial(s) we want to add 
   to that group, then the change is saved.
 * Looks like a right issue in the testimonial edit screen, because the change is
   saved fine if I’m editing a testimonial I’ve created myself as an admin.
 * Apart from this little bug, a simple request:
 * Could we add group=”x” to the form shortcode so that a testimonial is automatically
   added to the correct group as it’s typed by the user? That would make the process
   easier, as we could have a different page for each group of testimonial to be
   added.
 * Thanks for a great plugin by the way!

 * Thanks for the report. I am out of town this weekend but I will look into it 
   for sure.
 * As far as the group=”x” request, I love it. I will be implementing that in the
   next update.
 * Thanks,
    Jeff

 * Hello author,
 * I like your plugin and always used your plugin for testimonials.
    I am also facing
   the same problem that the group is not saved while updating the testimonial.
 * But I look for a solution and trick little bit in your code which works for me.
 * In your plugin I remove this code from admin.php line number 3505
 * if (!$this->is_moderator() || $this->options[‘user_role_can_select_group’] ==
   1) {
 * and its work for me.
 * please let me know if I did something wrong.
 * thank you

 * Ha thanks for that. You found the issue. It will be fixed in an update I plan
   on pushing in a little bat.

 * Just to confirm the issue is fixed in your latest release, and a huge thanks 
   for implementing the group feature in the form, it works perfectly!
 * Keep up the good work, just leaving positive feedback as a small thank you.

 * Thanks for the confirmation and the review. Sorry it took so long, life has been
   really busy. I finally had the chance to work on it this morning and leon90 posted
   his snippet as I was tracking it down. A huge thanks to him/her for digging in.
 * I see in your review that you picked up on the group attribute addition. Thanks
   for that feature request. It was a great idea and hopefully it works as you expected
   it to.

 * Yes, the group attribute addition works as expected, that’s what I meant in my
   post above when I said thanks for implementing the group feature in the form 
   🙂
