## Description

**NeoLite Review Customizer** is a lightweight, zero-bloat plugin that helps you
customize the appearance and behavior of your WooCommerce review section to better
match your brand, build customer trust, and encourage more product reviews.

Whether you want to personalize the Reviews tab, modernize the review experience,
or protect customer privacy, NeoLite Review Customizer makes it simple with an intuitive
settings page.

### Why Choose NeoLite Review Customizer?

Product reviews are one of the most influential factors in a customer’s buying decision.
A well-designed review section builds credibility, increases engagement, and can
improve conversion rates.

Instead of relying on WooCommerce’s default review interface, customize it to reflect
your brand and create a more engaging shopping experience.

### Features

#### Customize Review Star Color

Replace WooCommerce’s default yellow rating stars with a color that matches your
brand for a consistent, professional look.

#### Rename the Reviews Tab

Change the default **“Reviews”** tab to a custom label such as **Customer Reviews**,**
Testimonials**, **Wall of Love**, or any title that fits your store.

#### Customize the Empty Review Call-to-Action

Replace the default **“Be the first to review {Product Name}”** form heading with
your own custom call-to-action when a product has no reviews yet. Supports `{product_name}`
placeholder.

Examples:
 * Be the first to review {product_name}! * Share your experience and 
help other shoppers. * Write the first review and earn loyalty points!

#### Hide Review Dates

Optionally remove review dates to keep your review section looking clean and timeless.

#### Protect Customer Privacy

Display reviewer names in a privacy-friendly format by showing only the first name
and last initial (for example, **John D.**) instead of the full name.

#### Works Alongside NeoGrow

Runs happily next to **NeoGrow**: this plugin customizes the review experience, 
while NeoGrow — on its own — can reward customers with loyalty points for their 
product reviews. No configuration links the two; each works independently.

### Lightweight by Design

NeoLite Review Customizer is built with performance in mind.
 * No unnecessary features*
No database bloat * Clean, native WooCommerce integration * Beginner-friendly settings*
Compatible with modern WooCommerce versions

Install it, configure it in minutes, and give your WooCommerce review section a 
polished, branded appearance.

with loyalty rewards for customer reviews.

the Reviews tab, customize the “There are no reviews yet” message, hide review dates,
and display reviewer names in a privacy-friendly format.

Reviews,” “Testimonials,” “Wall of Love,” or any title that better matches your

## Changelog

#### 1.1.0

 * **Fix:** Prevented a possible fatal error on the front end — the review-date 
   and reviewer-name filters no longer enforce strict types that WordPress core 
   can violate.
 * **Fix:** WooCommerce detection is now network-activation safe, so the plugin 
   no longer disables itself when WooCommerce is network-activated.
 * **Fix:** Uninstall now removes the plugin’s settings (previously it did nothing)
   across all sites on multisite.
 * **Fix:** A custom Reviews tab title containing an apostrophe or quote is no longer
   double-escaped.
 * **Performance:** The “no reviews yet” text filter now runs only for WooCommerce
   strings instead of on every translation, and the plugin boots on `plugins_loaded`.
 * **Improvement:** Admin styles load only on this plugin’s own page; removed an
   empty placeholder tab.
 * **Maintenance:** Reconciled the version number, added coding-standard and static-
   analysis tooling, a translation template, and a `.distignore`-driven build; cross-
   promotion now links to the plugin directory instead of a one-click installer.

#### 1.0.0
