Description
FSWEB Comments Core is a lightweight review and feedback manager for WordPress. Visitors submit reviews through a simple form, you approve them, and the shortcodes print them anywhere on the site.

Optional add-on
The free edition is complete, has no time limit and no locked features. An optional PRO add-on, distributed from our own site and not included in this package, adds the form builder, the views builder, the infinite slider with autoplay, the extra skins and automatic updates. None of that code ships here.
Shortcodes
[fsweb_reviews] attributes: `layout` (slider|grid|list), `theme` (default|dark), `count` (1–50), `slides` (1–4), `columns` (1–4), `category`, `order` (newest|oldest|random|menu_order), `show_image` (yes|no).
[fsweb_review_form] attributes: `title`, `button`. Visitors can attach an optional photo (JPG, PNG, GIF or WebP, up to 2 MB); it becomes the review featured image after moderation.

Privacy
The free plugin does not connect to any external service and does not send any data out of the site. The reviews, names and e-mails submitted through the form are stored in the site’s own database; the e-mail is visible only in the WordPress admin.
