Description
Plugin Reviews is now fully updated and compatible with the latest versions of WordPress and PHP! Maintained by Starfish WP Plugins, this lightweight plugin lets you confidently showcase your WordPress.org reviews on your website—now and in the future, with new features on the way.
With two display layouts (grid and carousel), you can easily highlight your plugin’s best reviews in a visually appealing format. Simply enter your plugin’s slug (as listed on WordPress.org), and the plugin will automatically fetch and display the latest reviews. For example, to showcase reviews for this plugin, use the slug plugin-reviews.
To optimize performance, all reviews are cached for 24 hours by default.
Demo
You can see it working here on the Starfish Plugin Reviews page. We use the Carousel Layout.
Roadmap
We’re pretty busy, so feel free to contribute if you like the plugin 🙂
No promises, but things we’d like to add include:
- Make carousel options available from within the shortcode (items to show, items to scroll, duration, etc.)
- Make it work with AJAX to avoid long page load (for the first call to the API)
- Add styling options for grid?
- Add styling options for carousel?
- Add a way to disable style completely
- Add a way to change the prefix from
wr-towhatever(applies to every elements) - Loading carousel styles & scripts only if chosen layout is carousel
- Register modules for popular pagebuilders like Divi, Beaver Builder, Visual Composer, etc
- Add Gutenblocks compatibility (whenever Gutenberg is ready for that)
We’re busy, so feel free to contribute!
