What are the short code options?

[woocommerce_rating id=”n”] is the default. Replace “n” with the ID of the product you want to show the ratings for.

[woocommerce_rating id=”n” link=”false”] Add this if you don’t want the star rating to be a link.

[woocommerce_rating id=”n” newwindow=”true”] Add this if you want the link to open in a new window.

[woocommerce_rating id=”n” alttext=”Some alternative text”] This allows you to customize the text shown when a product has not yet been rated.

[woocommerce_rating id=”n” displayaverage=”true”] This will add a number, the average of all ratings for this product, after the stars, like ( 3.25 )

[woocommerce_rating id=”n” displaycount=”true”] This will add a number, the total number of ratings for this product, after the stars, like ( 420 )

This is perfect plugin! Simple and easy to use. I really love it, thanks mate! If anyone can not use in theme files use do_shortcode function like that; <?php echo do_shortcode( ‘[woocommerce_rating]’ ); ?>

Not showing stars at all.

So this is the first time I am reviewing a plugin. So why this one? Because I am using a highly customized theme and several plugins with it, I couldn’t figure out a simple way of how to show the Star Count on a Product Page using Visual Composer. This plugin solved this problem. It couldn’t be easier. Thank you very much! P.S.: I made a small enhancement to the code of the plugin, so that when you click on the stars, it will take you down the site to the reviews (the ‘one-pager’ style), and not just refresh the page. When you want to do the same, in your Visual Composer (or similar) specify an ID to a row/section you want a click on the stars to move to (Reviews in this case), then edit the plugins file by appending the id to the link: $link = get_permalink( $id ) . "#theIDyouChose"; This will append the ID to the link of the stars.
