Installation

Minimum Requirements

• WordPress 3.5 or greater
• PHP version 5.2.4 or greater
• MySQL version 5.0 or greater

Automatic installation

Automatic installation is the easiest option as WordPress handles the file transfers itself and you don’t even need to leave your web browser. To do an automatic install of Reviews Plus, log in to your WordPress admin panel, navigate to the Plugins menu and click Add New.

In the search field type “Reviews Plus” and click Search Plugins. Once you’ve found Reviews Plus plugin you can view details about it such as the the rating and description. Most importantly of course, you can install it by simply clicking Install Now. After clicking that link you will be asked if you’re sure you want to install the plugin. Click yes and WordPress will automatically complete the installation.

Manual installation

The manual installation method involves downloading our reviews plugin and uploading it to your web-server via your favourite FTP application.

1. Download the plugin file to your computer and unzip it
2. Using an FTP program, or your hosting control panel, upload the unzipped plugin folder to your WordPress installation’s wp-content/plugins/ directory.
3. Activate the plugin from the Plugins menu within the WordPress admin.

Upgrading

Automatic updates should work like a charm; as always though, ensure you backup your site just in case.

If on the off-chance you do encounter issues with the plugin pages after an update you simply need to flush the permalinks by going to WordPress > Settings > Permalinks and hitting ‘save’. That should return things to normal.

Great Plugin that does exactly what it advertises. We had one small request (low priority) that was handeled by the Support immediately and a update was released!

Worked ok until it didn’t

It was simple, functional, wonderful but broke my entire site. Last update broke the pages displaying only an awful message “Critical Error… Find out more on WordPress…” Anyone can suggest a better plugin?

Hopefully this will be maintained

I’m giving this 5 stars in the hope that this plugin will be maintained and improved. It has great potential. As per my review – It’s a nice neat plugin that works well. Simple. Hopes for improvement: – Option for half star ratings, or incremental stars – Display ratings in other formats, like circles, not just stars – Maybe some response in the support page would be nice! – CSS could be improved – And I did encounter a issue with approving comments, but that may be a conflict with other ratings plugins. So don’t take my word on that. Anyway, I’m looking forward to more updates…. please!

Great Plugin
