It’s OK it seems I had to manually add the PLaces API to the project and now everything working fine, thanks

What??? No it doesn’t!! I think you’ve misunderstood the question.

The Category that is being mapped from that field is the GOOGLE product category, not the Woocommerce one. How do I map the WOOCOMMERCE product category?

Also why doesn’t anything in the data layer send the CURRENCY parameter, as required for Google Ads remarketing, even when it does add the BUSINESS VERTICAL parameter which is specifically for that platform?

I’ve also tried using
#google-business-reviews-rating
as the selector, but none of the css is showing up when I look at this div in inspector.
Everything is completely ignoring the custom css whatever I do?

Its not working.

If I use either
.google-business-reviews-rating.dark.center.fonts
(which is the template I’m actually using) or
.google-business-reviews-rating.dark
as the css selector, nothing happens. None of the styles are applied.

Hi thanks I’ll give that a go, but just quickly, when I selected the narrow format, it wasn’t behaving responsively when viewed on tablet in particular – should that be the case?

Thanks for the reply –
Sorry I think all these messages are crossing, apologies for all the separate messages.
Hopefully you can see I’ve now supplied the URL above. Here again >>

And I’ve been able to force either a black or white background, but
1. the white background still has white text so is not usuable?

2. And the icon is positioned so part of it extends outside the background

3. There is no padding relative to the background (text extends fully to edge of area)

4. I’d really like to add a border in as you say, but I need help with the CSS for doing this (and the above). IN that I can code the design elements myself no problem, but I don’t know what CSS selector I should be telling WordPress to apply it to. Can you help with just some sample CSS code to style the entire area. If I can see some sample code I will be able to work it out in there.
I may also need some sample code to set the text colour against the white background.

Many thanks again for the support.

I’m getting somewhere in that I’ve worked out if I add class=”fill” to the shortcode it does hard force the background. BUT they layout is all messed up. There is no padding – the text is all going right to the edges of the background. And the business icon extends above the top of the background. Again I’d love to supply a screenshot but this stupid system won’t let me attach anything.

Stripe doesn’t seem to work, it just puts shaded backgrounds on the top and bottom bits, not the reviews section.

And where you say contrast “Used with stripe to offer a more contrasting version of the alternating backgrounds with dark/light text.” it doesn’t explain how to “use with stipe”?? setting the style to “contrast” doesn’t do anything and it can only have one style, so I don’t understand how to use two different styles together?

OK well you can have a look at it on my site, it’s in a condition just not awful enough that I’m able to take it live so you can have a look.

But I think I need to flag that I’ve been playing with inspector and managed to force the background to white if I add the relevant bit in the CSS bit (O’m not a web designer, I only have a vague understanding of how CSS works) …
.google-business-reviews-rating.dark, .google-business-reviews-rating.dark .heading, .google-business-reviews-rating.dark .business-name, .google-business-reviews-rating.dark .listing .author-name, .google-business-reviews-rating.dark .listing .author-name a, .google-business-reviews-rating.dark .listing .text {

That works, but it is now displaying the top few pixels of the icon outside the white section – so this is going to be the next problem I suspect.

I have a screenshot that I would love to attach here, but there is no way to attache screenshots. No idea why wordpress would design a support forum you can’t attach screenshots to? How useless is that?

ok I see now the badged version doesn’t have the avatars, and I don’t seem to be able to force them to show by setting avatar=”true”?

Also if i try shortcode
[reviews_rating avatar=”true”]
It still doesn’t show the avatars.

Yeah something really wrong here. In preview the business name shows in black text on white background, but on the page, it’s showing white text on a clear background?

And the user icons are not displaying when I load style sheets, but when I deselect “load style sheets”, they appear but they are enormous and the rest of the formatting is complete garbage, the text isn’t truncating the business name and logo are in giant font size, the background is still clear, etc.

Same deal if I choose dark background. It displays with clear background and doesn’t show the user icons.

PLEASE HELP!

To follow up, if I force a white background to the section I’m displaying the widget in, it turns out that there is white text hard coded into this layout, so the light background has white text on a white background anyway? something seems very wrong here, please help.

OK I’ve now resolved this issue, but still need help with backgrounds

I’d just like to say thanks for all your support with this. I’m afraid I am now forced to review your plugin accordingly.
