Reviews are inserting themselves in the footer

Hi Cathryn,

I have exactly the same problem. Did you already found a way to fix this?

Please let me know.

Kind regards,

Jarno

Jarno – no fix yet. I wonder if it’s theme related – what theme are you using? Cheers, Cathryn.

Mine occur in the header.
Theme is Simplicity.
Very strange.

That’s at least 3 of us – I guess it’s some comfort in knowing it’s not just me! My theme is Customizr.

I resolved this by removing the button (as I use a different page where we capture our reviews). If of interest use this CSS code ??

#wpcr_button_1, #wpcr_button_1:link, #wpcr_button_1:visited, #wpcr_submit_btn, #wpcr_submit_btn:link, #wpcr_submit_btn:visited {
display:none !important;
}

If you don’t know how to insert CSS, I can highly recommend this plugin by Ryan Nutt “Insert JavaScript & CSS” (you can add CSS per page even!). Terrific.

Hope that helps.

Hi cmmmc, thanks for that – your suggested css changes do get rid of the “submit your review” button but not the actual reviews themselves. *sigh* I’m thinking I’m going to have to find a different review plugin until this can be resolved. Any suggestions anyone?

Hi Cathryn999,

Try to add this CSS part:

#wpcr_respond_1, #wpcr_respond_2 {
display: none !important;
}

That should do the trick?

Currently looking at Rich Reviews as a replacement – not as feature rich, at least it works. I would prefer to keep using WP Customer Reviews as I use it on multiple sites, but not sure it’s still supported ??

They’re creating a new version, which will drop in the next months. I think it’s one of the best reviewing plugins there is. Mainly because it supports the Google star rating ??

I’ve tried so many different review plugins. None of them did what this plugin does. I’m quite pleased and this version 3 should be pretty amazing from the looks of it.

jarnobaselier and elitistdogg – I have switched to Rich Reviews for the time being. It works similarly to WPCR except that you can’t edit reviews prior to publishing.

Hi Cathryn,

Thank you very much for your update.

I don’t know what happend. My problems dissapeared automaticly? Maybe a WordPress update fixed it?

So currently I am good. If problems occur again I will have a look at Rich Reviews.

THANK YOU!!!

Thanks Cathryn
How did you transfer all your reviews to the new plugin?

Hi elistdog, I had to manually type them in. I’m sure a more techo person than me would be able to find a way to upload but I didn’t have very many so didn’t take too long. Good luck with it. Cheers ??

I’m not seeing the issue in the latest version of WordPress in a few themes I have looked at. It could have been a WP issue. Either way, we’re busy working on v3.0 of the plugin which will include many fixes and completely overhauls the code base and settings area.

Fix –
click screen options in the top right.
uncheck the wpcr
use shortcode: [WPCR_INSERT]
if desired, add this to add the submit a review buttom.
<a id="wpcr_button_1" href="javascript:void(0);">Click here to submit a review.</a>
