GravityView Ratings & Reviews Extension

Allow WordPress Comments

Ratings & Reviews uses the WordPress comment functionality, so for it to work correctly, you’ll need to enable comments in the WordPress settings.

To do this, hover over Settings in the left-hand menu and click Discussion. Now check the box that says, “Allow people to submit comments on new posts”.

Now you can configure the remaining options:

• Review type – Choose between stars or upvotes.
• Limit to one review per person per entry – Enabling this option prevents a person from leaving multiple reviews on the same entry.
• Hide rating fields – Enabling this will hide the rating fields so users can only post text reviews.
• Allow empty review text – If you’re planning to use the upvote/downvote rating system, enable this option.

When you’re done, you can start adding rating and review fields to your View layout.

Enable Reviews and Choose a Rating Type

Open your View editor, scroll down to the View Settings and click on the Ratings & Reviews tab. To enable entry reviews, check the box that says “Enable entry reviews”.

Add Rating and Review Fields to Your View

The Ratings & Reviews extension adds four new fields to GravityView:

• Rate Entry – Allows users to rate an entry on the Multiple Entries page.
• Stars Rating – Display the entry’s star rating (out of 5).
• Votes Rating – Display the entry’s aggregate up/down rating.
• Reviews Link – Display ratings and a link to review the entry.
