    I would like to create a Google reviews badge with the Google icon.
    How do I need to adapt the shortcode in order to output the stars and the rating number ONLY? I do not want any further reviews to appear.

    @michaelwellnerwp Please have a look at the shortcode parameter: summary.

    For you, I would recommend the following as a starting point:

    [review_rating theme="badge tiny" summary="rating number, rating stars" limit=0]

    Thank you. I have a problem with the badge that gets generated via your shortcode:

    When I click on it on my mobile device, I get the following error message:

    404. That’s an error. The requested URL /local/reviews?placeid=xxxxxxxxxxxxx was not found on this server. That’s all we know.

    On my laptop the link is working.
    Why does the badge link not work on mobile devices?

    @michaelwellnerwp The URL you have here is a test URL used as an example and it will not work as a replacement for the “view reviews” URL on Google.

    For the view reviews link itself, I am aware of the visual issue with Google’s mobile review listing. This is entirely at their side of things and it isn’t an issue with the plugin.

    If you use the following link as an example:

    https://search.google.com/local/reviews?placeid=ChIJq6pqZz2uEmsRaQAMbAl0RW0

    This works fine with the desktop (redirecting to the full URL), but there is a display issue that shows a white page (with non-visible elements).

    Google is very likely to resolve this soon – or offer advice to developers for an alternative URL that will work properly. For the moment, I will leave it as-is because I do not have any new information to act on.

    @michaelwellnerwp I have looked again and I cannot find anything that covers this issue in a public forum. I will contact Google’s support to make them aware of this new issue and find a resolution.

    This is in the <body> tag of Google’s review listing:

    opacity: 0.001;

    It is hard to see much when the page’s content is at 0.1% opacity…
