Conditional display?

FYI: If you have Site Reviews Premium, then you also have access to dedicated support from your Nifty Plugins account page.

I will use a review form to allow users to leave a rating alone OR a rating along with a review for each film […] On each film’s page, however, I only want to display the actual written reviews (along with their ratings) from users, not ratings alone

The easiest way to do this is to create two Site Reviews categories, one for the rating-only reviews and on for regular reviews.

For example (using the shortcodes as an example, but you can do the same with the Blocks and Elementor widgets), assuming you created two categorys with the slugs, “rating-only” and “full-review”:

Rating-only form:

[site_reviews_form assigned_terms=”rating-only”]

Regular Review Form:

[site_reviews_form assigned_terms=”full-review”]

Rating Summary from reviews with text:

[site_reviews_summary assigned_terms=”full-review”]

Reviews with text only:

[site_reviews assigned_terms=”full-review”]

Ah, categories sounds like a great idea. I get how I can use the shortcodes that way, per your suggestions above, but my question is do I have to manually categorize each review as it comes in depending on whether or not the user included a written portion? Hope not. Is there a way that a review can be automatically categorized depending on which fields are left blank? For example, what I have now is one review form to be filled in at the bottom of each film page where the rating is mandatory and the review title and review text fields are both labeled optional. How can I categorize each review automatically depending on what they fill out (or leave blank)? Thanks!

Ah, I though you were using two different forms.

You’ll need to use a code snippet in that case. The easiest way to add a code snippet to your site is with the Code Snippets plugin.

This code snippet will add a “has-content” category to your reviews if a review was written with the rating. If the Category does not exist, it will create it:

add_action('site-reviews/review/created', function ($review) {
    if (empty($review->content)) {
        return;
    }
    $slug = 'has-content';
    $name = 'Has Content';
    if (!term_exists($slug, glsr()->taxonomy)) {
        wp_insert_term($name, glsr()->taxonomy, compact('slug'));
    }
    wp_set_object_terms($review->ID, $slug, glsr()->taxonomy);
});

Hooray! This code worked. And thanks for recommending the Code Snippets plugin – it actually allowed me to deactivate two other plugins. Now, I have one other Site Reviews problem. The All Reviews dashboard page is displaying all the reviews but when I try to search or filter by any terms, it returns zero results. Clearly, the search and filter function is not working in the dashboard. Any suggestions?? – Mike

Actually, the categorization ran me into another problem too. It seems there’s a conflict between assigned terms and assigned posts. When I’m trying to display the reviews assigned to a given film post on that film’s page (again I’m using an Elementor template for more than 1,000 films), ALL of the reviews for all of the films are appearing. When I remove the assigned-terms from the shortcode, then it only displays that film’s reviews but includes the ones without content. Here is the shortcode I’m using in an Elementor shortcode widget in the template:

[site_reviews assigned_posts=”post_id”
display=”10″ pagination=”ajax” filters=”sort_by”
assigned_terms=”has-content”
hide=”assigned_links,avatar,images,response” ]

Again, when I remove the assigned-terms part, then it seems to only include the current film’s reviews, but won’t limit it to the has-content category. Any suggestions? I have deactivated and activated the plugin and cleared all my cache, still no luck. If it would be easier for me to handle this in the premium support forum, let me know. Thanks. – Mike

Is the “Review Assignment” setting set to Strict Assignment?

Dang! That did the trick. I feel dumb for that one. That did not fix the problem with the dashboard search and filter I mention above, FYI. And one final question: How can I get rid of “Review of” before the assigned links? I don’t see that option in the list of changeable strings.

I just tested the Search and Filter on the all Reviews admin page and it works for me.

The search allows you to search the Title and Content of reviews (it’s the same WordPress search functionality as on the All Posts and All Pages admin pages). Are you searching for something in the title or content only?

The Categories filter is also working here.

If that’s not working, you may need to try the troubleshooting steps outlined on the Help & Support page as you may have a plugin installed that is conflicting with Site Reviews on the admin pages.

Wow, thank you. I’ve made sure everything is set up properly with the dashboard and searches and filters are still getting zero results. (Sorting by clicking on the column headers does work.) Anyway, I’ll give it some time and maybe it will come back. If not, I will open a ticket at the other support forum.

Your responsiveness has been outstanding. Thank you very much. I’m going to go leave a review right now.
