WPSSO Ratings and Reviews | Add-on

Compatible with WooCommerce product ratings and reviews.

Extends the WordPress comment system with ratings and reviews:

• Star ratings can be enabled/disabled by post type or individual post.

• A rating value can be required (or not) before reviews are accepted.

• The review form is correctly labeled as a "Review".

• The review reply form is correctly labeled as a "Reply".

• The color of star ratings can be customized from the settings page.

Provides Schema Aggregate Rating meta tags and optional JSON-LD markup:

Google reads aggregate rating meta tags, or the optional Schema JSON-LD markup, to add star ratings to search results (the WPSSO Schema JSON-LD Markup add-on is required for JSON-LD markup).

Includes complete Schema Review in the optional JSON-LD markup:

Including information about the review (author name, creation time, excerpt, rating), along with the threaded replies / comments for each review (the WPSSO JSON Premium add-on is required for the optional JSON-LD markup).

No templates to modify or update!

Simply activate / deactivate the plugin to enable / disable the addition of ratings and reviews.
