Proper Plugin for User Generated Ratings/Reviews and no Schema

    Dear support,
    Please tell me, if “Ultimate Reviews” fulfills my needs:

    1. Working with WP pages, not only posts.

    2. Two different “scenarios”, dependant on the page
    I need two different types of reviews/ratings and two types of display, i.e. there are two “scenarios”, depending on the page:

    a)”article star rating”: visitors, who read my article pages, should be able to leave a simple star rating, without review. Display on the page as aggregated rating score, i.e., average from all ratings of all visitors (aggregateRating).
    and

    b)”customer review rating”: customers should be able to leave their review (simple text, some sentences) plus star rating on certain service pages. Display as average rating score of all customers (aggregateRating) and all single reviews+ratings should be visible on another collection page.

    And now the crucial thing: On my information pages (articles) I need the first type and on some service pages, where I offer my consulting services, I need the second one. So I must be able to implement on page1, 2 and 7 (3 pages) the first scenario and on page 8-15 (8 pages) the second scenario. There are two different scenarios and I must be able to choose for every page, what of the two I implement, dependant on the page (article or service page).
    Is this differentiation possible or would I have to give ALL pages the SAME kind of rating/review?

    4. No Schema creation by the plugin
    All my pages get a comprehensive schema markup, not only ratings/reviews, but also some other schema items (Article/Service/FAQ/Organization ect.) and I have to create this manually. So I also have to create and implement the rating/review schema code (JSON-LD) manually, because one “JSON-LD-script-tag” should contain all markup.
    –> If choosing premium (probably), can I disable automatic schema code creation and implementation?

    5. Do I need Premium or Basic, according to 1. – 4.?

    Thanks,

    Martin

    Hi Martin,

    Based on your requirements, perhaps our plugin might not be the right solution. It would likely require some custom coding to get it to function how you need.

    With the premium version, you can enable in-depth reviews and create as many different custom fields as you want for your review form, but, by default, those same fields will display on all forms. One way around this would be to make your fields not required and then add some Custom CSS to conditionally hide the fields you don’t want on certain pages.

    This should be easy enough. You could just do something like wrap each instance of the shortcode in a div with a unique ID. For example:

    <div id="form-one">
[submit-review]
</div>

    And then add CSS targeting that ID.

    Whether or not this would meet your requirements would be hard to know at this stage. Your best bet would be to try the free 7-day trial of the premium version to see if it does.

    Also, you can turn the schema microdata off if you don’t want the plugin to generate its own.
