I believe only yelp could help you (us).

The plugin pull the data directly from yelp’s API… and I have no control over it.

I wish I could scrape all reviews and/or select them (although selecting might not be a fair practice) but yelp doesn’t let us, sorry.

Forgot to add, I did a bit of a write up on it here if you’d like to find out more

Hi briandalgarn,

If you signed up for the API recently (I believe after march 2014) yelp changed their API data access and you will only be getting 1 review instead of the 3 (like in the past). I can’t do much for you, sorry.

It’s yelps fault… they first made the change on the APIv2 and now they changed it on the APIv1 aswell.

(such a greedy company… they are awful (I know) and I hate the fact that they didn’t bother to even notify us developers…)

Thanks for the review!

I am glad it is of use for you.

Nope, sorry yelp is extremely greedy.

According to the display requirements you cannot
https://www.yelp.com/developers/getting_started/display_requirements

I believe you could sort the 3 results you get, but you cannot choose which reviews you get.

If you are trying to sort the results you get you’d need to do some coding, but I won’t be implementing that in the core code because this is/was initially conceived as a ticker, so it would not matter the order they show up in.

I hope this answers your question.

I’m marking the thread as resolved due to the fact that it won’t be implemented. But if you have any other questions or concerns let me know.

The api account is separate from the business and the user account.
Basically the account would be named “developer account”
as long as you create an account at:
https://www.yelp.com/developers/getting_started/api_access

and get the api key you should be fine.
if you need any more help let me know.

Thanks for using the plugin

Sorry for the delay.
The problem is with your theme. it actually is making almost all images to be scaled up to 100%

you could try and change that.

you might need to hire somebody if you don’t know how to fix it, but a quick solution (might brake something else, just try and see if anything else goes out of wack):

on the css file

https://schroedersplumbing.com/wp-content/themes/localbusinesstheme/style.css

go to line 1638 and change this:

.footer-wrapper .footer_widget img {
	width:100%;
}

to this:

.footer-wrapper .footer_widget img {
	/* width:100%; */
}

Like I said, that will fix the issue with my plugin, but might brak something else… change it and check all other pages to see if they are displaying correctly

Rayna,

This is closed due to changes made on the code, you can see all of them on thechangelog.

loga7351, opened a ticket due to problems in the code o versions prior 1.0 and all code problems and bugs had been fixed in ver 1.2

Hozefa, had an issue that was directly linked to changes made by yelp to it’s own API. Which somewhat broke the functionality of the plugin for new yelp API accounts. The problem was really well documented (or at least I think I did a good job of it right here.

With that said the problems they experienced between 10 and 5 months ago were all fixed. now if you have a different problem you are welcome to open your own ticket, and also please post the link to the site so I can have a look too.

The 2 main things that need to be filled in correctly are the API1.0 key and the phone number for the business (please make sure it matches the one on the yelp page)

closing… saw you got it working.

I am happy you enjoy the plugin, but new people were not getting the 3 snippets.. they were only getting one due to API changes (greedy yelp).

I had to fix the code and make it work with APIv1 instead of the APIv2.

In doing so you need to configure it again… no big deal just add the API v1 Key and the telephone number for the business (associated with your yelp page).

On another note…
Have you tried reading before updating? maybe following instructions?
a warning was put on before you updated.
On ta second note, I developed the plugin for free and will keep it free. So you should be happy it is being maintained. I wanted this for my own purposes, and could have taken the short road and written code specifically for my use, but I took the hard road and learned how to make a widget and shared it with the world.

On a third note you can revert back to the old version if you wish.

On a final note you can join the dev team for this plugin, just ask. ??

I hope a little more reading and a little less moaning next time will fix your problem next time.
installation directions are here

Again thanks for using the plugin

You could have changed the delay to say… 9999999999

and that would have “stopped it”

I’ve just updated the plugin, please update it and let me know if you find any bugs.

And if you have the time please leave a review ??

Sorry for the delay, I actually didn’t see your question.

You could have set the delay to 9999999999 and it would “stop it”

I’ve updated the plugin today, and converted the API to v1, please update the plugin and make sure you change the settings, since new settings were added and some were done away completely.

Thanks for the compliments and please let me know how if you find any bugs in the plugin.
Also if you have the time please rate the widget, I very much appreciate it!

OK everyone I’ve coded almost the entire widget again to get it working with the API v1 I believe I’ve fixed most bugs too. I’ll close this topic.
If you have a new bug, please open a new support ticket.
Also you will need to enter the phone number of the business and the APIv1 Key (don’t forget to change those settings) I’ve done away with the Keys, tokens and business page because API v1 works a bit differently.

Sorry for the delay.

Hozefa,
About your problem, please make sure your API Business url is correct.
IE. your business is:

https://www.yelp.com/biz/district-taco-washington

than make the link look like this:

https://api.yelp.com/v2/business/district-taco-washington

Second is that yelp used to only let you show the latest 3 reviews (even if you had more than 3 only 3 would show). Now they’ve changed their own rules and didn’t let anyone know that they made the change. The change is that the APIv2 will only show 1 review.

The fix will be that we start working with the APIv1 and you still can get the latest 3 reviews, I just cannot guarantee until when.

Let me know if maybe (with the link that fixes it) and you can see the 1 review at least. if not we will have to go a different route.

Also give me a link to your site so I can see if there is any errors on the display.

Thanks

You weren’t too clear, but if you are looking to make your own plugin, you can use my plugin as a base. And develop from there. I think that would be exactly what you are looking for
