How can I remove “on” from the reviews?

  • I’m trying to edit how the reviews are displayed. My site was showing a line that said, for example, “Mar 4, 2016 by MB on Blank Product Name” and I wanted to get rid of the part that says “on Blank Product Name.”

    I was able to get rid of the part that says “Blank Product Name” but I can’t find where to delete the word “on.” I tried deleting it from frontend_review_item_reviews.html, but it is still showing up. How can I prevent the word “on” from displaying?

    OK, I finally figured this out. The word “on” has to be removed from the template first, then the plugin has to be Deactivated and then Activated again, since the templates get cached to the database when the plugin is activated and that’s used instead of the HTML templates when displaying reviews on a page.

    Hello,

    How did you manage to remove ‘on Blank Business Name’? I am having this same issue but can not seem to get rid of it.

    @jewellerybyfarah if you follow the instructions in my comment (remove it from the template, then deactivate the plugin, then activate it again) that should still work.

    Was it this full line that you removed?

    $data[‘on_same_page’] = ($opts->on_postid == $postid);

    I tried removing this line, deactivating and activating again. Is this what you did?

    Thanks

    No. I just removed the word “on” from line 25 of this file:

    /wp-content/plugins/wp-customer-reviews/include/templates/frontend_review_item_reviews.html

    Then I also commented out line 450 of this file:
    /wp-content/plugins/wp-customer-reviews/wp-customer-reviews-3.php

    Line 25 doesn’t have the word “on” within the file :/

    If you do it this way your changes will be overwritten the next time the plugin updates. Don’t do it this way. There’s got to be another way but I can’t figure it out

    Yes, that’s correct these changes will be overwritten when the plugin is updated. The change has to be made with each plugin update. Anyone who wants to do this should do it this way and be careful about the plugin update since, unfortunately, this is how the developer designed the plugin.

    There is a way to override template files by adding code to your functions.php file. I just can’t figure it out. Trying to now.

    I think this could help:

    or

    In my case I’m working on a clients website so I will not be around to edit their core plugin files every time they decide to do a round of updating. So changing the file on every update is not a solution for me. I’ll let you know if I find a way…

    How did you edit these files? Did you use an FTP to access them? Sorry, I’m new at this.

    EDIT: NM, I found all the details in the cPanel.
