Ratings for reviewers and visitors

YASR Pro adds ratings and reviews to WordPress content. Reviewers enter an overall score in the editor, and readers see it in read-only mode. Visitors can rate content separately through an interactive star widget. They can also comment on published content and share their opinions with other readers.

Place rating widgets in posts and pages or in widget areas such as sidebars and footers. Their appearance is customizable, and the responsive design is intended to show rating content across different screen sizes.

Score separate review criteria

Multi Sets let reviewers rate different aspects of one item. A videogame review, for example, can include scores for graphics, gameplay and story. Create a set for the criteria you need, then add it to a post with the shortcode YASR includes.

Add ratings and rankings where needed

Shortcodes can insert overall ratings, visitor votes, Multi Sets and rankings into posts or pages. YASR also works with a ranking of the ten highest-rated entries by reviewer.

Describe reviews with structured data

YASR supports review Schema.org item types including BlogPosting, Book, Course, CreativeWorkSeason, CreativeWorkSeries, Episode, Event, Game, LocalBusiness, MediaObject, Movie, MusicPlaylist, MusicRecording, Organization, Product, Recipe and SoftwareApplication. Structured data describes review information for search engines, but search result shows are not guaranteed. The BlogPosting item type does not show stars in search results.

Configure the extension

YASR Pro includes a REST API and hooks for developer customization, while its rating features can be set up without coding. Install and activate the extension in your WordPress dashboard, open its settings, configure the rating options and create any Multi Sets your reviews need. Add the generated shortcodes to posts, pages or widget areas, then publish and check how the ratings appear.
