Sync site reviews with Woocommerce reviews

    I love site reviews for Woocommerce and I’m now trying to make it work with my filter plugin (filtereverything pro). It has standard Woocommerce review filtering built in, but this is apparently separate from the site reviews reviews. So the filtering does not match. What I would like to do is filtering based on site reviews rating on product archive pages.

    The plugin allows for custom fields filtering, where I use ‘_glsr_average’, but this returns the decimal value, e.g. 4.6, where you want to filter on 3, 4 ,5 only. Ideally there has to be something in the html with the rating number so I can apply the right icon css. Are there more site reviews meta fields i can try?

    I’m thinking of ways I might be able to solve this. I think the easiest solution would be to programmatically set the review and rating count as a woocommerce review as well. But I don’t know if this is possible. Can you let me know?

    Thanks!

    Thanks,

    Unfortunately this does not impact anything on the archive filtering and also breaks the single product page. Had to turn it off.

    Does this mean there is no other way to make filtering on average rating work?

    Before I contact the filter plugin author about this, could you let me know if the site reviews reviews being separate from the Woocommerce reviews is default behavior? So in short if I leave a review on a product, this does not count as a Woocommerce review.

    Thanks

    The reviews in Site Reviews are separate from WooCommerce (WooCommerce uses WordPress comments as reviews). Enabling the WooCommerce integration in the Site Reviews settings will make WooCommerce use the Site Reviews review system.

    The reason why the Filter Everything plugin does not work to filter reviews is because WooCommerce stores the average product ratings as meta data AND as terms in the product_visibility taxonomy.

    I will have to look into how best to integrate the product_visibility terms with Site Reviews, as it needs to be backwards compatible.

    Thanks for the explanation. I will buy Site Reviews Premium if you fix it for me.
