Add Star Ratings To Comment Forms

Allow users to easily add rate products, posts and contribute their own reviews through your comment box. When posting a comment, users will be shown an easy-to-use "star rating form" with the rating fields you have specified.

You can specify different rating sections for each post or mass-add rating categories to categories, authors or other criteria. For example, you may want to have one post (or category) that allows users to rate on "Overall," "Price" and "Support," and another category which allows users to rate on "Overall," "Power" and "Build Quality."

Use any of our 10+ included star images, or easily create your own!

...and Editor Ratings Too!

Or you can allow users to see ratings as specified by the editor. This feature can be combined with user ratings to allow a "dominant" administrator's rating, followed by a series of comments/mini-reviews by users.

New in 5.0, you can now specify rating categories to be "editor's only", meaning users won't be asked to rate them: this is a great way for editor's to provide a detailed analysis, while keeping your site simple and navigable for users.

Stars, Letter Grades, Percentages

If 5-star ratings doesn't quite fit the content you're rating, MyReviewPlugin offers other rating types. Letter grades, percentage (out of 100), pass/fail and 10-star ratings are all available with just a click of a mouse. Plus they can all be converted back to 5-star ratings for use in average calculations and tables.

Control Post Order

By default, WordPress orders posts chronologically. If you're running a review site, you may want your posts ordered by most (or least) popular, highest (or lowest) rated, Bayesian weightings (see below), popularity or our weighted smart sorting system.

Bayesian Weighting

Bayes was a great statistician, but you don't need to know anything about him: we've done all the work. Bayesian weighting is designed to prevent people from "gaming the system." A post with 1 review, 5 stars will be rated lower than a post with 5,000 reviews and 4.9 stars. Bayesian weighting calculates "rating trust" to determine how to appropriately order posts. If you want it, you've got it - and it just works, no configuration necessary!

Custom Comment Fields

Want to allow your users to submit extra information about their review? Add dates, textareas, select boxes, checkboxes, etc. to the comments area with just two clicks. Use this to allow users to specify when they first used the product their reviewing or literally any other information you wish.

Only Active When/Where You Need It

Want to have posts that have reviews and posts that don't on the same page? Absolutely no problem. Want reviews on some pages, some posts, but not all? Go for it! MyReviewPlugin can do it all. You control when, where and how it shows.

In other words, you choose where MyReviewPlugin is active. Which posts or pages it's active on, and what features users see. It is both powerful and easy.

Display Custom Information

Show and compare information such as price, technical requirements, file size, sizes, etc. in the custom data table. Better yet, easily show checkmarks and crosses to indicate features that a product does or doesn't have. Plus, easily include photographs, graphics or other media in your custom fields.

Build Beautiful Comparsion Tables

The custom information above (as well as rating categories) can be displayed within a comparison table embedded within any theme. Comparison tables can be embedded on any page[s] and can be configured in the administration area to specify which fields, which rating categories and even the overall appearance of the table. Plus, as with everything else, you can control every element of the comparison table's appearance in the administration area.

Comparison tables come in a variety of one-click themes (and are easily further customizable with CSS). Here's a sample of the themes available:

Include Horizontal and Vertical Comparison Tables

You can do both types of comparsion tables with MyReviewPlugin. One's like this (horizontal) and ones like the kind you're used to seeing on product pages like this (vertical). No other WordPress script can make vertical comparison tables!

A standard horizontal comparison table (which could be configured to show more information in the form of star ratings or custom data)...

The new vertical tables...

Automatically Include Thumbshots

If you need product images for your theme / layout and don't have any, they will automatically be filled in with Thumbshots.com data — these free screenshots make it incredibly easy to build a full website even faster than before.

"Was this review helpful to you?"

MyReviewPlugin allows your users to thumbs up/thumbs down the comments and reviews posted by your visitors - similar to the way you see on Amazon.com (see here).

Complete Google Maps Integration

If you're running a local directory or anything with a location-sensitive value, you can easily embed accurate, navigatable Google Maps from within the WordPress administration area. Automatic embedding with imported data (i.e., specify a location column from your database) or specific, post-level Google Maps integration to allow you down-to-the-letter control of what your site is displaying. Completely powerful. Completely easy.

Three Six Eight Excellent Themes

MyReviewPlugin comes with three excellent themes ready out of the box for easy website development. Even better? MyReviewPlugin is fully compatible and highly customizable with every single WordPress theme available via one-click automatic embeds. Better yet, there's 3 more premium bonus themes available free of charge: complete with full theme control panels to tweak every element of the theme's design... new in 5.0 is two more excellent themes

Sidebar Widgets

Show the top rated posts or the most recently rated posts in your sidebar, along with rating information, etc. Fully confgurable, fully optional and compatible with any theme that accepts widgets (that's most!).

One-click Automatic Embedding

One of the coolest features of MyReviewPlugin is the ability to simply check a box and have any theme modified immediately to work as a review site. This has been tested extensively to ensure that it is compatible with all the themes you'll find.

The real killer feature: each of these autoembeds can be customized down to the pixel from right within your administration area — background-colors, border styles, alignment, padding, text color, for every single element with the click of a mouse. If you have a programmer, there's still a full API for them to work with, but the complete easy no-experience-required design features available to you in the administration area make the whole process accessible to anyone!

Plus, new in 4.0, automatic embedding is completely drag-and-drop. You select the widgets you would like to embed and you can simply drag them to the position you want them embedded in. The checkbox embed system (pictured above) is still available, but this new embed system is quick and easy!
