Title: Reviewer Author: Jeroen Sormani Published: August 22, 2016 Last modified: September 20, 2017 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/wpreviewer/assets/banner-772x250.png?rev=1590644) This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://ps.w.org/wpreviewer/assets/icon.svg?rev=1590644) # Reviewer By [Jeroen Sormani](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sormano/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wpreviewer.1.0.5.zip) * [Details](https://srd.wordpress.org/plugins/wpreviewer/#description) * [Reviews](https://srd.wordpress.org/plugins/wpreviewer/#reviews) * [Installation](https://srd.wordpress.org/plugins/wpreviewer/#installation) * [Development](https://srd.wordpress.org/plugins/wpreviewer/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wpreviewer/) ## Description With Reviewer you can create and manage reviews on your website. With just a few clicks the plugin is installed and you’ll have all you need to get started on writing reviews **No fuzz** The Reviewer core plugin is not meant to be a one-size-fits-all solution. It is pouring the foundation to build a house or even a skyscraper if you’d like. This means that the plugin is designed to have all the core features you need to start writing and managing reviews, and the ability to extend these features to fit your exact needs. **Beautifully designed and coded** I take great pride in writing beautiful code and that can be seen in the Reviewer plugin. I know users (like you) don’t look at the code / don’t care about it, but this is one of the most important things to build a solid, stable and maintainable plugin. Trust me. **Extensible** Every WordPress site works and looks differently. **looks:** By default Reviewer brings you standard looking templates that should fit most themes. Want to up your game? you can override every template and make things look exactly how you want.** works:** Need to modify how something works? The plugin is made to be easily extensible, and we have a ton of documentation that will also show how you can accomplish doing so. **Documentation** We’ve extensively written documentation which can be found on [https://wpreviewer.com/documentation](https://wpreviewer.com/documentation) **Feedback is welcome** Reviewer has launched in Feb 2017, which means that it is still a young plugin. Therefore all feedback, suggestions, feature requests and whatever is on your mind about hte plugin is more then welcome! If you have something you’d like to share, please feel free to reach out through [this form on wpreviewer.com](https://wpreviewer.com/support/) > **Extensions** > As mentioned the plugin can be extended to include additional valuable features. > We’ve created some additional extension that hold the same qualities as the Reviewer > plugin does. > [View the extensions](https://wpreviewer.com/extensions) **Reviewer requires PHP 5.3 or higher** (99.8% of those who read this will meet that requirement) ## Screenshots * [[ * Admin, review overview * [[ * Admin, Review post * [[ * Admin, Review details – General * [[ * Admin, Review details – Attributes * [[ * Admin, Review details – Categories * [[ * Admin, Review details – Tags * [[ * Front end, review overview * [[ * Front-end, review detail * [[ ## Installation 1.

A theme that I installed for a client had this plugin built into it. When the theme was installed and activated on a clean WordPress 6.6.1 setup the menus of WordPress because unresponsive for me, and it seemed to be related to this plugin. Because as soon as it was disabled the issues with the site stopped.Your milage may vary if you try this plugin with the latest versions of WP. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/5077bc9713c672d8a52ba2c5665a7a351b5b213f7a8abeddba77d4bcbffeeeeb? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Upgrade to Public Reviews?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upgrade-to-public-reviews/)󠁿 [michaelnorth](https://profiles.wordpress.org/michaelnorth/) June 24, 2018 3 replies Looks good, but I was hoping for a solution that allowed visitors (the public) to write product reviews, not just the site owner. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6afa18e9f4308d4637764a2f5bd847ba6ad904ee62e8fb1b1ec03f427450812a? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Just What I was Looking For](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/just-what-i-was-looking-for-334/)󠁿 [drupalnomore](https://profiles.wordpress.org/prepperbits/) October 4, 2017 I searched for a while to find a plugin that would allow me to have a separate section for reviews so I could reserve my posts section for blog articles only. This does the job nicely. I was able to point this plugins reviews archive page directly to my existing reviews page and then start adding reviews. The widgets are handy as well, I am able to put them in the side bar of other pages to advertise the reviews section. I would describe this plugin as simple and easy to set up. I had a couple of questions for the developers, they responded almost instantly and have resolved them for me and have been very helpful. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/518df81d05103678894f372bf0ce253b097c7dd2341beb0f856150143da8660d? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[very simple and easy to use](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-simple-and-easy-to-use-13/)󠁿 [mariesor](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mariesor/) May 26, 2017 Good documentation and very simple to install and use at your site.

The attributes section allows you to display any custom fields which can incorporate HTML. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e693950ae05ae8761202e316ff88337860be5d4386d32f8818b8ccb280c69596? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Simple and efficient](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-and-efficient-148/)󠁿 [justinledelson](https://profiles.wordpress.org/justinledelson/) February 15, 2017 1 reply Plugin is easy to use and set up.
