The issue is caused by trailing comma(s) in function calls, a php 7.3 feature.
The plugin still claims to support php 5.6+, so this is either a bug in the code, or the documentation.

I can confirm an update to php7.4 fixed the issue.

Anyone?

easy option is just edit wordpress settings:

settings > reading > blog pages show at most [5] posts.

However that will limit all categories & archives as well.

Alternative is to add this above the loop in the page template used by your homepage:

query_posts('posts_per_page=5');

If you are not happy with code this is untested by me but seems to do what you want:

Should not be difficult at all provided the plugin author hasn’t encrypted their code.
Is explained well here:

Yes, I downloaded that before i even installed the plugin. I have also spent about 5 hours now going in circles around the 2 websites associated with the plugin.
The tutorials on the website seem to be aimed at people with a far greater understanding of the plugin than i have, hence the ‘SIMPLE’ part of this post title.

Great, i am not the only person to find the whole thing immensely frustrating then!
The plugin looks great but the documentation seems to be aimed at people who have been using it since conception. Every single tutorial presumes a level of familiarity with the plugin that i (and i would imagine many others) simply do not have.

I got so frustrated with it that i considered paying for ‘premium support’ and couldnt even do that!! You are directed to the dev4press.com site, which runs like a snail and does not have any obvious way to sign up for premium support!! You can sign up for the site (standard wordpress signup) but that reveals nothing about premium support. Clicking on any forum topic or tutorial just says access denied. WTF?

All i want to do is give visitors the option of replying to a post with a review that includes their star rating, and have the average rating from all comments display at the bottom of the post.

This should be simple but i cant get it for the life of me. I can get each comment to display a blank set of stars that can the be clicked buy other visitors (basicly reviewing that particular comment) and i can get each post to display clickable stars, which is no good because i want to only let people who leave a review (comment) the ability to rate!

Considering this is supposed to be such a popular plugin i am surprised there are no idiots guides floating about. In fact the only ‘help’ i can find is the official websites.
