Will do!

We can’t replicate the problem. Is there anyone who is willing to give us temporary access to their WordPress dashboard? That would really help us figure out what’s going on!

Hmm… can you look in the dashboard, make sure you still have all approved reviews? And which shortcode(s), exactly, are you using on that page?

Is this still an issue? What version of the plugin are you running?

That’s a good idea. We will implement this – perhaps not in the next version (we have a few quick fixes in the chamber for that) but perhaps in 1.6?

Ugh. This is such an embarrassing error. I wish this support thread would disappear forever so that my shame was erased from the internet for good! It is because of this bug that I abstracted out all of the database (the CRUD) functions into their own class, so that my forgetful self will never again forget in what order SQL queries must be structured.

All that being said, we’ve got another developer (everyone say ‘Allo’ to Austin!) now working on this, so updates and features are now going to be launching faster than a plate of dropped food gets eaten off the floor by your puppy!

You can make up any category you want! It will create the categories dynamically.

If your product appears on multiple pages, you might use [RICH_REVIEWS_SHOW category=”product 1″] on each of those pages.

If your product only ever shows up on one specific page or post (say, for example, you use an ecommerce plugin which makes a custom post type for each product) then you just use category=”page”. This will dynamically fill in the post or page ID as the category, so reviews for that product will only show up on that specific page.

Let us know if this works for you!

That’s very odd – the logic for handling this is still there, and it should work just fine. Was it showing any reviews at all?

We are EXTREMELY sorry about this!!! We had a major bug in 1.5.0 which white screen-ed sites in certain cases. The bug is fixed, and we hope this didn’t affect too many people. Needless to say, this bug has been fixed in 1.5.1 and hopefully no one’s site is ever affected by bugs from our plugin again!

If you need any help bringing your site back up, please feel free to send us an email at [email protected] and we will do as much as is physically (or, digitally) possible!

The instructions page has all the nitty gritty details. At the moment, everything is built around the shortcodes. Do you want a form people use to submit reviews? Use [RICH_REVIEWS_FORM] … want to display the reviews? Use [RICH_REVIEWS_SHOW]!

Was there something in particular you were expecting it to do that is beyond the scope of the shortcodes? We’d appreciate you taking another look at it!

We have come back around to this plugin, trying to do major overhauls to the internal structure so that updates and features are easier to crank out. We’d appreciate it if you could take another look at it! Please let us know (you can email [email protected] or comment here or on the support boards) if there’s anything we can help you out with.

Yup, we are planning to have that in the next update ??

We’ve got another developer (everyone say ‘Hello’ to Austin!) now working on this, so updates and features are now going to be faster than that batch of cookies you forgot about gets burnt in the oven!

TrishaM and dmpilotwings, the date does look really nice right there! We will put that in as an option ASAP ??

Also, sorting by date is definitely a no brainer, that’s gotta go in immediately as well ??

We’ve got another developer (everyone say ‘Hi’ to Austin!) now working on this, so updates and features are now going to be coming fast and furious!

Thanks! Fixed that.

Thanks for helping Trisha!
Yes, I removed a lot of the default stylings for elements, and completely redid the css (abstracting it into a sass stylesheet instead) I thought about it, and after extensive experience dealing with OTHER people’s plugins, one huge pet peeve that I have is when a plugin author forces, say, a certain color for their styles which is invisible or clashes when put up on the site. So I figured letting the stars be the same color as text as the default was the best solution.

One big thing I’d like to put in is a color picker and, overall, some more automated visual styles that are easier to change for the enduser
