Description

There are many sites that are crawling for user-generated reviews now, including Google Places and Google Local Search. WP Customer Reviews allows you to setup a specific page on your blog to receive customer testimonials for your business/service OR to write reviews about a product.

  • WP Multisite and Multiuser (WPMU / WPMS / WordPress MU) compatible.
  • All submissions are moderated, which means that YOU choose which reviews get shown.
  • Reviews are displayed to visitors in a friendly format, but search engines see the Schema.org microformat.
  • Multiple anti-spam measures to prevent automated spambots from submitting reviews.
  • Completely customizable, including which fields to ask for, require, and show.
  • Shortcodes available for inserting reviews and review form on any page or widget.
  • Works with caching plugins and custom themes.
  • Includes an external stylesheet so you can modify it to better fit your theme.
  • Reviews can be edited by admin for content and date.
  • Admin responses can be made and shown under each review.
  • Support for adding your own custom fields.
  • The plugin can be used on more than one page, and can be used on posts.
  • Supports both Business and Product review types.
  • Shows aggregate reviews microformat.
  • Fast and lightweight, even including the star rating image. This plugin will not slow down your blog.
  • Validates as valid XHTML 1.1 (W3C) and valid Microformats (Rich Snippets Testing Tool).
  • And much more…

Almost every new feature that has been added was due to the generous support and suggestions of our users. If you have a suggestion or question, do not hesitate to ask in our forum.

WP Customer Reviews is very good. I wish it was connected to Gravatar for some added verification of an identity to help add trust to the reviews.

In general, I like the barebones nature of the plugin. I didn't want extra features because I would lose confidence in the plugin's compatibility over the long run.

Gravatar though, I view as necessary because the best websites that will rank high in Google will need some verification features (viewable to the reader). It's necessary innovation. I have WordPress comments connected to Gravatar for that reason. I would love my reviews to connect to the same system.

Works Great!

This is a great plugin for adding reviews to a site. Lots of customization and love the short code ability. Also has an aggregated reviews showing the total reviews and rating.

Works as expected - here's a custom shortcode

By askutah (aksutah) on February 28, 2024

Here's a custom function to display the page rating by itself anywhere on the page:

function custom_wpcr3_reviews_info_shortcode($atts) {
    // Shortcode attributes
    $atts = shortcode_atts(
        array(
            'post_id' => null, // Default to null, so it can be used for the current post/page
        ),
        $atts,
        'custom_wpcr3_reviews_info'
    );

    // Query to retrieve posts of type 'wpcr3_review'
    $reviews_query = new WP_Query(array(
        'post_type' => 'wpcr3_review',
        'posts_per_page' => -1,
        'meta_query' => array(
            array(
                'key' => 'wpcr3_review_post',
                'value' => $atts['post_id'],
            ),
        ),
    ));

    // Initialize variables
    $total_reviews = $average_rating = 0;

    // Loop through each review post
    while ($reviews_query->have_posts()) {
        $reviews_query->the_post();

        // Get post ID and corresponding review post ID
        $review_post_id = get_the_ID();

        // Get the rating for the current review post
        $rating = get_post_meta($review_post_id, 'wpcr3_review_rating', true);

        // Increment total reviews and add rating to the total
        $total_reviews++;
        $average_rating += intval($rating);
    }

    // Reset the post data
    wp_reset_postdata();

    // Calculate average rating in stars
    $average_rating = $total_reviews > 0 ? round($average_rating / $total_reviews) : 0;

    // Output HTML for displaying reviews info
    $output = '<div class="custom-wpcr3-reviews-info">';
    $output .= '<p><a href="#reviews"><strong>Average Rating:</strong><span style="color:#ff6900;text-shadow: 1px 1px #999;"> ' . str_repeat('★', $average_rating) . ' (' . $total_reviews . ' reviews)</span></a></p>';
    $output .= '</div>';

    return $output;
}

// Register the custom shortcode
add_shortcode('custom_wpcr3_reviews_info', 'custom_wpcr3_reviews_info_shortcode');

use the shortcode like this: [custom_wpcr3_reviews_info post_id=37]
