    Hi,

    After looking through the documentation I couldn’t find how to get the average programmatically.

    I would like to have a php function like :

    get_reviews_average($post->ID);

    which would return a float number like “4.5” for example.

    The result would be the average score for all the reviews of a particular post.

    Additionnaly, it would be awesome to have a similar function but to display the stars only. I know there is a shortcode that does it : do_shortcode( “[site_reviews_summary assigned_to={$post->ID} hide=bars,summary,rating]” ) but I would prefer to have a php function.

    Thanks for your help and congrats for the efforts given into this awesome plugin.

    If the page has been assigned reviews, you can get the average rating like this:

    $averageRating = get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_glsr_average', true );

    The shortcode can also be used like this:

    $starRating = do_shortcode( '[site_reviews_summary assigned_to=post_id hide=bars,summary,rating]' );
