• It took me three hours to figure out this plugin and to get it to work properly.

    My reviews were showing up in my widget with “SSSSS” instead of actual stars. I realized the CSS was pulling a font called “Star” that I was unable to find. I pulled the widget CSS from the widget folder itself and changed the name to “font awesome” (per my woocommerce ratings that were pulling perfectly on the product page, I used firebug and found fontawesome is the name of the star font) and changed I changed the widget’s css from this:

    content: "SSSSS";

    To This

    `content: “\f005\f005\f005\f005\f005”;’

    And now the stars show up. I still have to alter the CSS to make it match my theme. If you’re a newbie and don’t know how to change CSS, then this plugin isn’t for you to mess with. But if you know CSS, it is possible.

    Also – I couldn’t get my reviews to show up unless I selected them to show by “name” or “date.” The random order will not work. I read some of the other reviews and it seems to be an issue with multiple categories? I’m unsure. I have multiple categories and it works with either the sort by “name” or “date.”

    If I click the “assign” categories button (the show product and star rating is checked), then the widget won’t show any reviews.

    It took a while to figure out and how to get it to work with my theme. Because of this, I think the plugin needs some work to make all options work, or remove the options that don’t work with all options so it doesn’t confuse newbies.
