Displaying a view based on category

Great idea!

Add this to your theme functions.php:

/**
 * Return a comma-separated list of other posts in the same category as the current post.
 */
function my_related_testimonials( $post_id ) {
    // Create an empty list.
    $post_ids = '';
    // Get the terms assigned to this post.
    $terms = get_the_terms( $post_id, 'wpm-testimonial-category' );
    // Check the results.
    if ( $terms && ! is_wp_error( $terms ) ) {
        // Extract just the term IDs.
        $term_ids = wp_list_pluck( $terms, 'term_id' );
        // Get other posts in this taxonomy.
        $posts = get_posts( array(
            'post_type'      => 'wpm-testimonial',
            'post_status'    => 'publish',
            'posts_per_page' => -1,
            'exclude'        => $post_id,
            'tax_query'      => array(
                array(
                    'taxonomy' => 'wpm-testimonial-category',
                    'field'    => 'term_id',
                    'terms'    => $term_ids,
                ),
            ),
        ) );
        // Extract just the post IDs and assemble into a comma-separated list.
        $post_ids = implode( ',', wp_list_pluck( $posts, 'ID' ) );
    }

    return $post_ids;
}

Use this in your single template:

<?php
if ( function_exists( 'my_related_testimonials' ) ) {
    $post_ids = my_related_testimonials( get_the_ID() );
} else {
    $post_ids = '';
}
echo do_shortcode( '[testimonial_view id="4" post_ids="' . $post_ids . '"]' );
?>
