Widget Recent Reviews

You could, like so…

function rcno_change_recent_reviews_widget_content( $content, $post_id ) {
	$length = 10; // word count
	$output = get_post( $post_id )->post_content; // get_post( $post_id )->post_excerpt;
	$output = strip_shortcodes( strip_tags( $output ) );
	$output = preg_split( '/\b/', $output, $length * 2 + 1 );
	$waste  = array_pop( $output );
	$output = implode( $output );
	$output .= '<br>'; // remove if necessary
	$output .= '<a href="' . get_the_permalink( $post_id ) . '">';
	$output .= 'Read more';
	$output .= '</a>';

	return $output;
}
add_filter( 'rcno_recent_reviews_content', 'rcno_change_recent_reviews_widget_content', 10, 2 );

Splendid… Thank you very much. The readers will certainly appreciate this. ??

Hello @Kemory,

I think I may have a request for a new feature for this widget. Would you be so kind to add a pagination – underneath – to the recent review widget?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
Irene

Hello again @aseverirene

Adding the kind of pagination you have in mind to the widget would involve re-writing to be JS/AJAX based. IMHO, implementation aside, that would be a bit too much of a change from what I had in mind for this simple widget.

I already have a major re-write planned so this would be too much right now.

Hi Kemory,

Another request from my clients…
Would it be possible to make the cover in above widget clickable, as title is also clickable??

My clients won’t be needing the read-more button, after all.

Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
