Yes, the short code is supposed to work, so that you can add reviews from one page to another page using PAGE ID=”1″ or whatever the page ID actually is, which you can find by mousing over the EDIT link in Pages for the page you specifically want to reference.
Here’s what an example shortcode might look like:
[WPCR_SHOW POSTID=”1351″ NUM=”5″ PAGINATE=”1″ PERPAGE=”5″ SHOWFORM=”0″ HIDEREVIEWS=”0″ HIDERESPONSE=”0″ SNIPPET=”140″ MORE=”view more” HIDECUSTOM=”1″ ]
I found that there may be a bug and the short code is not displaying the reviews from the Page ID for me, at the moment. And, I’m going to report this to the plugin developer so they can tell me why or fix it to make sure it’s working.
The other thing, which I really don’t like, is that the plugin developer requires you to give them your email address to enable all the settings tabs in the plugin. You can find this when you install the plugin and there is a single settings tab. And if you answer yes or no as to whether you agree to display a powered by WP Customer Reviews link below the reviews on the page you enable the reviews for.
So, you may not be seeing the short code reference, because it’s on a hidden tab that you cannot see unless you give them your email address and they enable all tabs.
