    Hi, I’m using the slider. How can I put the Show more reviews button below the slider, so that when clicked, it takes you my Google reviews page?

    Also, how can I show display more than 6 reviews?

    Hi @eganet,

    1. You can put the following HTML code under the slider shortcode:

    <a href="https://search.google.com/local/reviews?placeid=<YOUR_GOOGLE_PLACE_ID>" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">See All Reviews</a>

    2. The plugin uses the Google Places API to get your reviews. The API only returns the 5 most helpful reviews. When Google changes the 5 most helpful the plugin will automatically add the new one to your database. Thus slowly building up a database of reviews. It’s a limitation of Google, not specifically the plugin.

    The plugin can only download what Google returns in their Places API. It is usually the 5 Most Helpful (not newest) reviews. You can check what the API returns by entering your Place ID and Google API key in this URL:

    https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json?placeid=YOUR_PLACE_ID&key=YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY

    However, if you got new reviews for your Google place, but the plugin does not show these, it means that Google didn’t include it to 5 most helpful and the plugin just can’t get this. It’s a limitation of Google, not the plugin.

    Thanks!
