About the Plugin

Back to User Guide

WordPress Review plugin is a highly customizable Wordpress rating / reviews / testimonials plugin that supports a star rating system for any post type (including custom ones), allowing your visitors to leave ratings or reviews for your products, posts/pages, portfolio, business, etc., while giving you full Administrative control over whether reviews should be published, hidden, or pend approval, and which reviews should weigh more in points than others. Reviews are always shown in descending chronological order.

Not only does our plugin cater functionality, we also make sure that you have full command over your Reviews and Ratings front-end interface; with customizable/unlimited color themes and labels for text shown on your Review form. Everything is easily customizable from the plugin settings page!
