Hey JoeBailey72,

Thanks for checking out Let’s Review.

1- You can add a review anywhere really – if you are using the classic editor you can use the shortcodes to create one. However, Google recently changed the review schema and they have really clamped down on what reviews they show in the search results, due to spammers abusing the system, so unless you review a real product, I don’t think it’ll appear in the serps any more.

2- Yeah Let’s Review works well on both Gutenberg and classic editor sites.

3- If your profile page is something you can add shortcodes too, yeah you can add one.

Hope this helps.

Codetipi

Perfect, Thank you!

You’re welcome

It’s no problem!

2- Could you copy/paste the html here though (using < pre > tags) or to do it privately, open a ticket at http://codetipi.ticksy.com as I need exact sample code to test it properly.

4- Oh that, yeah that was indeed on purpose, but on second thoughts rounded does look better for that list design so it’s been changed to it again.

Thanks!

Will have a ticket live in the next few minutes

That’s great thanks, please ensure to paste the entire html that isn’t working and the exact steps to recreate.

Hey TheCurbAU,

I’m afraid that it likely won’t ever be possible to append reviews to Disqus comments, as Disqus works through an iFrame and works completely independently to WordPress. As such it simply isn’t possible to inject/create/load custom data into a closed third party system like Disqus.

Codetipi

Ah in that case it may be possible, there are plans to make the Tipi Builder be able to run Gutenberg blocks – it’s being investigated though so can’t promise it 100% until I know it’s possible, but hopefully will be!

Hey, ok thanks

No worries

Ah right yeah, the plugin does indeed integrate with the comments, but the way it does it is by simply appending the review stuff to them, it doesn’t actually take control/change/override anything, so this way your theme and other plugins can do whatever they want to it all. Regarding the error and going back, I’ll look into that!

Wish that was the case for the theme I’m using, it worked half way, nevertheless, I think ultimately a separate Review site will make much more sense, and that error redirect is k.i.l.l.i.n.g my vibe, literally lol

Yeah I know exactly what you mean, I’ve always hated that error – I’ve always felt WordPress core should deal with it properly/cleaner. It’s basic and themes shouldn’t need to add extra code for something like it!

Hey Alastair,

You’re welcome, really happy you like it!

1- Great suggestion, was added in v3.0.3 update which was submitted just now – should get approved by Codecanyon soon.

2- Ah that is actually a feature of the theme used to create the demo site, the theme is a Codetipi product In case you haven’t seen it already – It’s a next generation theme called Zeen and you can check it out here: https://themeforest.net/item/zeen-next-generation-magazine-wordpress-theme/22709856

Hope this helps.

Codetipi

Hey again,

As with all big pieces of software with thousands of lines of code, when you have a huge update that changes lots of code and adds new features + combined with users using the code in all types of combinations means you inevitably always have potential to have unexpected quirks that aren’t seen on the development sites (or seen by the beta testers), this is why all software constantly has updates. Let’s Review is already at 3.0.3 thanks to user reports. Codetipi will always fix any quirks, but it isn’t possible without user reports and being able to investigate them to recreate them locally.

However, in CodeCanyon/Themeforest you do need valid support to ask for any type of help or support – most users have valid support too as it lasts 6-12 months, so it usually isn’t a problem for anyone. This isn’t a Codetipi policy, it’s the marketplace systems and rules that authors are forced to follow.

Nonetheless, I went in on your site to have a look as I can’t recreate your issue in any way locally. Without being in the admin area I can’t investigate properly, but it seems you may have your reviews set to “editor and visitor” ones, but only using the visitor rating option, if that is correct, you ned to edit the review to be “visitor only” then the schema will reflect the visitor score.

Regarding the type, the review schema has specific rules to be valid, there hasn’t actually ever been an article review type, in fact, Google’s recent changes removed all stars from sites not reviewing something specific because spammers were abusing that to increase their CTR in the SERPS.

You can read more about Google’s changes here:

Hope this helps.

Codetipi

Ok, I understand. Although doesn’t this https://schema.org/Article have aggregate rating so it will still be a valid schema with a review? Or is google getting rid of this?

I’m afraid not, Google doesn’t consider Article a valid review any longer, in their latest algorithm update they have actively removed anything like that to stop sites who aren’t really reviewing anything but still wanted to show stars in the the serps for ctr, you can see the current valid options here: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/review-snippet

Hey Zombiemaker (great name!!),

Thanks for checking out Let’s Review

The plugin doesn’t allow users to upload images, as there are so many free/premium solutions for this already. For example, here is a free plugin that is just to add images to comments: https://wordpress.org/plugins/comment-image/

Hope this helps.

Codetipi

Also… the visitor comment scores do not have a total score summarised in the lets review box. I thought all of this was going to be addressed in the update, or have I misses this somewhere? Top work by the way

Hey Mikee,

1- There is no option to force users to not be able to use decimals, unless you’re using the percent (0-100 percent), however, a new filter has been added that will allow you to do it. From the next update (v3.0.4 or v3.1) you can do this:

function my_custom_comment_step( $step = '', $pid = '' ) {
return 1;
}
add_filter( 'lets_review_comment_reviews_step', 'my_custom_comment_step', 10, 2 );

That should do it

2- What review slider are you referring to? If you mean from the main review, yeah you have an option to make it “editor review only”.

3- There is a new Gutenberg block called Comment Averages, which you can add to your article to show the average scores of the comments.

Hope this helps.

Codetipi

Somewhat sorted, but there are still bugs. If you use AMP for WP, you need to switch to Font Awesome for the icons.

Hey Leighlo,

Hope you enjoy v3

The stars don’t show because AMP doesn’t allow plugins/themes to upload/use custom fonts. There is a way to use FontAwesome (As you’ve found) but the issue is that plugins (such as Let’s Review) can’t load FontAwesome in AMP for you, as AMP only accepts the fontawesome CDN url, and plugins on CodeCanyon aren’t allowed to use CDN resources, so Let’s Review can’t do anything about that.

For this reason, the plugin simply styled the buttons in AMP as normal buttons, which are the same but just missing the icon. AMP is meant to be limiting/restrictive to maintain its fast performance, so this type of issue is kind of all intentional by AMP developers.

Codetipi

Hey Supahero,

If you are using Gutenberg, you can add a Classic block and use the old shortcode list tool in there. Gutenberg list blocks will be added to the theme at some point

Codetipi

Hey AcvilaSoft,

Thanks for reporting, I can confirm that has been fixed and will be included in the v3.0.2 update which will be submitted today

Codetipi

Also, user comment reviews are now showing as a percentage instead of the value that was selected previously with stars.

This changelog fix “FIX: Custom shopping cart icon override quirk” isn’t quite there yet. The symbol now just slides over the existing symbol, instead of replacing it on the animation.

Stars still not showing.

It was definitely working in the development site, a new update is coming out today, try updating and if the problem persists, you will need to open a ticket and include exact url + info to be able to investigate it for you.

Hey Vir2lboy,

Thanks, hope you enjoy using it

Users can enter a value by tapping on the number and manually entering it. Did you try that?

P.s The official demo site is still running Let’s Review v2.x, it will be updated to v3 over the coming days

Codetipi

Ah!! That probably explains it all I haven’t installed it because I’m the one who was stuck with that complicated theme where the Comments section was altered (Using altered Comments vs the WP native Comments) so I’m waiting to pick a decent theme (most likely one of yours) to test the V3 version or I’ll just try the V3 with my existing theme to see if it plays nicely. On a side note, your plugin is top notch and worth every dollar.

That’s really nice of you to say, thanks so much once again for choosing Let’s Review all that time ago Hope you continue enjoying it for a long time!

2186405 and 2180611 – it would be great if they could be resolved or replied to , there are so so many bugs for the classic editor version.

New ticket opened – more bugs found 2186987. These are quite serious bugs.

Don’t worry, any confirmed bugs will be patched, as always

Hey Mikee_j,

To beta test the new version, you can open a ticket at http://codetipi.ticksy.com as that is the place it is being done. The only thing to note is that one of the requirements to become a beta tester is that you need to have valid support, which is needed to open a ticket.

Codetipi

Hey Martin_AUT,

Really happy you like it

1- There is a new Gutenberg block you can add in your content area that displays the average scores of visitor comment reviews.

2- I’d be hesitant towards this one as many themes add their own filters, so if the plugin added one, you’d end up with multiple different dropdowns on some themes. It will be considered though.

3- That is already an option in v3.

4- Do you mean for visitor reviews? It may be possible in the future.

Hope this helps.

Codetipi

Hi Codetip,

thank you for the answers!

1.) I don’t use Gutenberg and many other neither. But I think we talked about little different things. Please see this screenshot for what I mean (1) https://imgur.com/mHIW3SI Thanks

2.) Themes usually don’t add filters to external plugins… Probably this was a misunderstanding? I marked what I mean on this screenshot too (2): https://imgur.com/mHIW3SI

3.) Good to hear! When will V3 be released?

4.) Yes, for visitor-reviews.

Thank you!

You’re welcome

Followed up your support ticket too earlier, but:

1- I was talking about that, there’s a new Gutenberg block that can be used to output the averages of each criteria from comment reviews. It isn’t exactly the same as it shows the average scores of each rating, but it is similar. Having the summary like you pointed out above the comments is in the works too.

2- What I meant was that some themes add dropdowns to the comments area itself. And what I meant is that if a plugin adds a dropdown and so does a theme, you will have two separate dropdowns appearing, which looks broken. But something like this is definitely possible

3- It’s in the final beta testing phase, shouldn’t be long now!

Codetipi

Hey JustJacob,

Yes the beta testing is ongoing now, the more testers the better as there’s more chances of spotting things. Please open a ticket today at http://codetipi.ticksy.com to join!

Thanks again,

Codetipi

You’re welcome, happy I could help

Hello me again, i use plugin, but the userrating use the same rating like my admin rating criteria?

Hey Ninanina,

As the Holidays season is extra busy, responses here will be very slow until the new year – please open up a ticket at http://codetipi.ticksy.com and the support team will investigate as soon as they are able to.

Happy New Year

Hey Gilbert,

Please check the ticket you opened, it would be great if you are able to help test the v3 beta
