Description
Understand how helpful your content is.
ContentEcho helps you learn what visitors think about your website content. Add a simple five-star feedback widget to posts and pages, collect optional comments, and review the results privately in your WordPress dashboard.
Unlike public star-rating plugins, ContentEcho is designed for feedback you can act on. Visitor ratings and comments are not published on the page.
Why use ContentEcho?
- Easy for visitors: Ask “Was this content helpful?” with five stars and an optional comment.
- Private by design: Keep submitted ratings and comments in your WordPress admin area instead of displaying public scores.
- Content-level reporting: See rating totals, average ratings, and comment counts for individual content items.
- Explore feedback: Filter content performance and browse individual submissions to identify areas for improvement.
- Flexible placement: Add feedback automatically after an enabled post, or place the widget manually with a block or shortcode.
- Simple appearance controls: Choose a brand colour and button text colour, with a live preview.
- Submission preferences: Choose once-per-visitor-per-content feedback (best effort) or allow multiple submissions.
Put feedback where it belongs
Posts: Enable ContentEcho in the post editor to show the widget after the article. You can also insert the ContentEcho block or [contentecho_feedback] shortcode anywhere in a post. Manual placement takes priority over automatic placement.
Pages: Insert the ContentEcho block or [contentecho_feedback] shortcode exactly where you want the widget. ContentEcho does not automatically append feedback to pages.
Custom post types: Use the block where the block editor is supported, or the shortcode in editors that process shortcodes.
Private feedback, not public reviews
ContentEcho does not publish submitted ratings or comments as public review scores and does not add review-rating structured data for search engines. Its purpose is to help site owners understand and improve their content.

FAQ
-
Are ratings and comments shown publicly?
-
No. Submitted ratings and comments are available in the WordPress administration area, not published alongside your content.
-
Can I decide where the widget appears?
-
Yes. Posts can display the widget automatically after their content when enabled. Posts, pages and supported custom post types also support manual placement using the ContentEcho block or
[contentecho_feedback]shortcode. -
Does ContentEcho automatically appear on every page?
-
No. You choose where to enable it. Standard pages require manual placement.
-
Is a written comment required?
-
No. Visitors choose a star rating, then can optionally leave a comment before submitting.
-
Can visitors submit feedback more than once?
-
You can allow multiple submissions or limit feedback to once per visitor per content item. The once-per-visitor option uses a best-effort approach and cannot guarantee identification across browsers or devices.
-
Do visitors need an account?
-
No. Visitors can submit feedback without registering or signing in.
-
Does ContentEcho add public review stars or rating schema?
-
No. It is designed to collect private content feedback rather than generate public reviews or search-result rating markup.
