Few Questions please (top plugin btw!)

    1. Can you add columns to the reviews, ie if on one page you just wanted to show 3 columns with a review in each then on another page show all reviews and put in a 2 or 3 column grid?

    2. Can you have a review carousel, which would loop through x number of reviews?

    3. How do you add that rectangle review box on the first image in the screenshots of the plugin page? It shows the average review count, number of reviews and star rating?

    Great plugin though, top job!

    Thanks

    @tinkertravels Thanks for the questions.

    Presuming you have the latest version, here are the answers…

    1. You can already add multiple columns. Just select the Three Columns Theme. Set the review limit to 3 for the first page and the review limit to 3n for the other page (n = any integer). I have an example here.
    2. Review carousel is in the works as I know there is a demand, but it won’t be ready for a little while. If people can add their views in the Feature Request post, this will help focus my development.
    3. That’s the Badge theme – have you looked at the Settings in Dashboard->Settings->Reviews and Rating – Google Business?

    1. I’ve used [reviews_rating reviews_link="View Google Reviews" write_review_link="Leave A Review" icon="false" theme="columns three" limit="3" name="false"] which seems to do the job. This will display the first 3, what if after this i wanted to display reviews 4 onwards as a list, is there a way to start the latest reviews from position number 4 or remaining reviews?

    2. A carousel would be awesome, look forward to that!

    3. Using the badge theme, found it. But it still gives you all the reviews etc, do you have to add this as well icon="false" review_text="false" limit="0" avatar="false" vicinity="false" excerpt="false" ?

    You need to add an offset as 3 to skip the first 3 (and start with the fourth). Here is an example:

    [reviews_rating reviews_link="View Google Reviews" write_review_link="Leave A Review" icon=false theme="columns three" limit=3 offset=3 name=false]

    For the badge theme, I highly recommend not showing any reviews, so use the shortcode you mentioned – that will do trick. You could also change the overall settings, but as you have different shortcodes in play, I’d recommend using the shortcodes to set the parameters as needed.

    This is all you need:

    [reviews_rating theme="badge" icon=false vicinity=false limit=0]

    That works a dream! Thanks for the help.

    Can you choose a heading, star and text sizes from within the shortcode, ie: use a font size of 16px and heading size of 20px, star-size = small? And the box container used?

    Or should I just add a class to the container div / container and style manually?

    Perhaps use the custom style sheet in the Advanced tab?

    If you can ask a website designer to help you with this, it shouldn’t take long to make the modifications you want.
