Display more than 5 reviews

Hi @paulmaudrydev,

The plugin uses the Google Places?API?to get your reviews. The?API?only returns the 5 most helpful reviews. When Google changes the 5 most helpful the plugin will automatically add the new one to your database. Thus slowly building up a database of reviews. It’s a limitation of Google, not specifically the plugin.

The plugin can only download what Google returns in their Places?API. It is usually the 5 Most Helpful (not newest) reviews. You can check what the?API?returns by entering your?Place?ID and Google?API?key in this url:

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json?placeid=YOUR_PLACE_ID&key=YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY

However, if you got new reviews for your Google place, but the plugin does not show these, it means that Google didn’t include it to 5 most helpful and the plugin just can’t get this. It’s a limitation of Google, not the plugin.

Also, please check that the ‘Refresh’ option is enabled in the widget. It will call the Google API once in three days (to avoid a Google Billing and keep the API key free) to check the most helpful reviews.

Thanks!

Ok thanks, I’ll check this out in a couple of days.

Thanks for your help.

I just want to add that you need to check the API url, Google may not add other reviews there for several weeks.

Thanks!
