Ember Reviewed By
Ember Reviewed By
Description
Google’s E-E-A-T guidelines reward content that visibly shows who wrote it, who reviewed it, and when it was last updated – especially for health, finance, legal and other YMYL topics. Big health sites solve this with custom development. Reviewed By gives you the same thing in two minutes.
What you get
- Trust byline – “Written by [author] – Reviewed by Dr. Jane Smith, GMC 1234567 – Last updated [date]” above or below your content, or placed manually
- Reviewer profiles – lightweight profiles with photo, job title, qualifications, registration number and profile link. No extra WordPress user accounts needed
- Bio cards – rich author/reviewer profile cards at the end of the article, with photo, linked name and bio, like the major health publishers use
- Correct schema –
reviewedByPerson,dateModified, and author enrichment (jobTitle, credentials), machine-readable proof of your review process
Works with your SEO plugin, not against it
- Yoast SEO: extends the existing schema graph
- Rank Math: extends the existing JSON-LD
- No SEO plugin: outputs its own valid JSON-LD
- Never double-outputs schema
Completely customizable, zero code
- Four style presets: Clean, Card, Badge, and a compact one-line Inline byline
- Show, hide and reorder every element: author, reviewer, dates – down to individual details like qualifications or registration numbers
- Custom labels for every string (“Medically reviewed by”, “Fact checked by”…), translation-ready
- Accent color, corner radius, avatars on/off, live preview while you configure
- Option to hide your theme’s own author/date line so nothing is duplicated
- Two shortcodes:
[reviewed_by]for the byline (with per-use preset override) and[reviewed_by_bio]for bio cards, plus a Gutenberg block - Works on posts, pages and any custom post type – you choose
Light by design
Under 5KB of CSS, zero front-end JavaScript, no external requests, no tracking, no ads inside your wp-admin.
Installation
- Install and activate the plugin.
- Go to Reviewed By Add New Reviewer and create your first reviewer with their credentials.
- Edit a post, pick the reviewer in the “Reviewed By” box, update. Done – byline and schema are live.
- Fine-tune everything under Reviewed By Settings.
Screenshots

The inline trust byline on an article - author, reviewer with credentials, review dates in one line.

The settings screen: everything customizable, with a live preview.

Bio cards after the content - rich author and reviewer profiles with photos and links.

Adding a reviewer: simple profile screen with credential fields.
Faq
No. It only adds the reviewer/author trust data your SEO plugin doesn’t output. Keep using Yoast or Rank Math – Reviewed By integrates with both.
No. Reviewers are lightweight profiles (name, photo, credentials, registration number), not users.
Yes. Every element and every detail has its own toggle, and elements can be reordered.
Yes. The automatic byline works with any builder that uses standard WordPress content. The reviewer is assigned in a normal meta box, and the shortcodes work anywhere shortcodes are supported.
No. One small stylesheet (< 5KB), no front-end JavaScript, no external calls.
Two options: untick the “Written by” element so the plugin only adds the reviewer, or enable the built-in option that hides the theme’s own author/date line.
