Simply said, to demonstrate on-going support for the development of Testimonials Widget.

Further, you and other developers are very welcome to code your own version of Testimonials Premium plugin’s caching and ‘read more’ link capabilities without purchase. Since version 2.3.0, the free Testimonials Widget plugin provides several new filters or hooks which provides for easily incorporating the premium features.

It was a hard choice making the ‘Read more’ link feature a premium option. I knew that there were going to be people not happy with me for doing so. However, I feel that asking for you to purchase Testimonials Premium is an acceptable request to help pay for the free, quick support and development like Testimonials Widget’s 17 high-level changesto go from version 2.2.9 to 2.3.0.
