Uploading Old Reviews

No, use a dash not a forward slash.

Lordy – I can’t believe I missed that – thanks mate, so much appreciated! One last thing – I’m using Avada theme, and it has a subheading option for a bit of text etc – do you know how I can add the 5 stars image thingy, and whatever count of them a particular band has ammassed in that subheading area? IE.. add the image of the 5 stars, and a count next to it? The page, if you wanna quick look at the current heading, is at: https://thelivemusicagency.affordaband.co.uk/anthems-live-band/

Kinda like a clickable hyperlink in that subheading area, looking like:

★★★★★ – 9 Reviews!

or similar?

1. Use the id option on the reviews shortcode:

[site_reviews id="reviews"]

2. Use the text option on the summary shortcode to link to the id used above. Also, add a custom class. You may need to add this to a child theme directly in the template code using do_shortcode if the Avada theme does not let you use a shortcode in the sub heading. If you need help with this, you will need to contact the Avada support team.

[site_reviews_summary class="inline-summary" hide="bars,rating" text=" – <a href='#reviews'>{num} reviews</a>"]

3. Use custom CSS to target the custom class you gave to the summary shortcode above:

.inline-summary .glsr-summary-text {
    margin-top: 0;
    width: auto;
}

Thanks mate. Having sat here and read your reply for 30mins, I think it might be time to chat with the Avada support guys – I can’t even figure out point 1! Thanks so much for the reply though mate, I did manage to successfully import the csv file earlier thanks to you, so I’m sure soon enough I’ll figure this out too if I keep staring at it (!).

ps.. any idea why I’m only getting 5 reviews on a page, rather than 9? Not sure why the other 4 aren’t showing up..

Use the “display” and “pagination” options on the shortcode.

Please read the Help > Shortcodes page to learn more.

Perfect. Thanks mate. ??

Mate, I absolutely love this plugin – it’s so perfect. One thing though – I did what you said above and entered the shortcode: [site_reviews_summary class=”inline-summary” hide=”bars,rating” text=” – {num} reviews“] into the top of the page here:
https://thelivemusicagency.affordaband.co.uk/anthems-live-band/
and it worked spectacularly as you can see, but it’s on two separate lines rather than one line. I’ve tried so many things to try to put them on one line but I can’t seem to do it. Also, I can’t seem to make the thing be a hyperlink that takes people down the page to read the actual reviews. And also how do I change the wording to make the text read: ★★★★★ – 5 stars from (x number of) Reviews!

Thanks so much, Stu

1. You may need to add !important to the custom CSS to raise the specificity.

.inline-summary .glsr-summary-text {
    margin-top: 0 !important;
    width: auto !important;
}

2. You need to add an id option to the reviews shortcode further down on your page:

[site_reviews id="reviews"]

3. Here is what the documentation shows for the Summary shortcode:

With that in mind, you can use the text option to modify the summary text and add a link to the #reviews id.

[site_reviews_summary text=" – {rating} stars from <a href='#reviews'>{num} Reviews!</a>"]

Mate, what a raucous dude you are – thank you. Due solely to your suggestions, my site just went from lame to legendary. ?? ??

Hello again mate. I had my site reviews sorted with the layout I liked, thanks to your great assistance. Suddenly they’ve reverted back to the old way the link at the top of my page looked though, and it’s not clickable to the lower part of the page anymore where the reviews start. I’ve tried to see where the error is, but I’m lost. Is it obvious to you what’s up?

See #3 of https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/uploading-old-reviews/page/2/#post-13863143

Thanks. I don’t recall changing anything, so not sure why it’s displaying and working differently suddenly. I know it won’t be the plugin – it’ll be me – I must have changed something somewhere on the site.. I’m pretty cr*p at this stuff but I’ll start looking. Thanks.

Perhaps you reverted to a previous revision of the page?
