Link review author to their user / author page and avatars not displaying.

  • Hi, good plugin – I tried many & yours is the best free one IMHO.

    I had to dig for instructions re. templates and php, and how to capture reviews on one page, for that one page, and display those reviews on the page also – that would be useful perhaps on the WordPress plugin page.

    I have just two Qs: (probably straightforward, sorry I did have a good look)

    Question one:
    The review form auto-populates with the logged-in username if you check the box in admin. But when it is published there’s no link so people can check out the user who wrote the review. In rr-show.php I’ve found where to stick the link but I can’t seem to make it work – what link code would achieve this please?
    (I think if it were possible to make this a default within the plugin, that kicks in when the option for ‘only logged in users to submit reviews’ is checked, it would be great!

    Question two:
    How can I make the plugin pick up my logged in user avatars? I think it’s meant to do that anyway isn’t it? Mine isn’t, it shows a blank avatar – (as I have checked the ‘use blank avatars’ box). Not just when there is no avatar, but also when the logged in user posting the review has an avatar. What could be causing this?

    I’d be grateful for your insight – I’m stumped.
    Thanks

    Hi, well I have worked out one question’s answer I think – how to link the review author name to the review author’s page, here it is in case anyone else wants to try it, I checked it by reviewing with a couple of different logins, and testing other links in different logins etc…seems good:

    In the file rr-show.php (in shortcodes) I found this div:

    <div class="rr_review_name" itemprop="author" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person">

    I wrapped this link around the whole div:

    <a>/<?php echo $data['rName']; ?>" itemprop="url">

    Ie I pasted the second snippet above the first in the template, and closed the link with it’s </a> after the closing </div> of the first snippet.

    This has linked the review name output to it’s author page.
    For anyone else reading note that in my instance only logged in users can review so there will always be an author page.

    Now I just need to work out why the avatars aren’t showing…any ideas?

    Thanks ??
