Version Information
- Plugin Name: WPSSO Add Five Stars
- Stable Version: 2.2.0
- Author: JS Morisset
- Description: Add a 5 star rating and review from the site organization if the Schema markup does not already have an 'aggregateRating' property.
- License: GPLv3
- Requires PHP: 7.4.33 or newer
- Requires WordPress: 5.9 or newer
- Tested Up To WordPress: 6.7.0
- Last Updated: 15 hours ago
Includes a 5 Star Rating in Schema markup:
- If the Schema markup does not have an 'aggregateRating' property.
- If Google allows an 'aggregateRating' property for that Schema type.
Google allows an 'aggregateRating' property for these Schema types and their sub-types:
- Book
- Course
- Event
- HowTo (includes Recipe)
- LocalBusiness
- Movie
- Product
- SoftwareApplication
If the Schema type in the Document SSO metabox is not one of these types (or one of their sub-types), then a 5 star rating cannot be added, as doing so would trigger an error in the Google search console. See Google's Review snippet documentation for additional information.
WPSSO Add Five Stars is a Fallback Solution
The Google's Review Snippet technical guidelines reminds us to:

It is always preferable to include actual ratings and reviews from your visitors and/or customers in the webpage. The WPSSO Add Five Stars add-on can be used in combination with any of the following third-party plugins and service APIs, or the WPSSO Ratings and Reviews add-on.

your response to problems is above board.
I have had this on my site for about a week and just checked via Google to see 5 stars are indeed showing on my products reviews showing under products on search! This was the first issue Google Console said I needed to address once connected. Thanks so much for making the suite of schema plugins.
This plugin can do a lot of Schema. While working with it, I felt like it could do more but honestly for a free plugin it does ALOT! Highly recommended!
The plugin is awesome
excellent
