Amazin Job for such a basic thing!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-first-plugin-which-gets-my-review-amazin-job-for-such-a-basic-thing/)󠁿 [warhost](https://profiles.wordpress.org/warhost/) November 26, 2016 So this is the first time I am reviewing a plugin. So why this one? Because I am using a highly customized theme and several plugins with it, I couldn’t figure out a simple way of how to show the Star Count on a Product Page using Visual Composer. This plugin solved this problem. It couldn’t be easier. Thank you very much! P.S.: I made a small enhancement to the code of the plugin, so that when you click on the stars, it will take you down the site to the reviews (the ‘one-pager’ style), and not just refresh the page. When you want to do the same, in your Visual Composer( or similar) specify an ID to a row/section you want a click on the stars to move to (Reviews in this case), then edit the plugins file by appending the id to the link: $link = get_permalink( $id ) . "#theIDyouChose"; This will append the ID to the link of the stars.
