All media is processed directly in the browser — videos are compressed client-side before upload, saving server bandwidth and storage. #### Key Features * **Photo & Video Uploads** — customers can attach media files directly to their reviews * **Client-Side Video Compression** — videos are compressed in the browser before upload, reducing file sizes significantly * **Video Thumbnails** — automatic thumbnail generation for video reviews * **Helpful Voting** — customers can mark reviews as helpful or unhelpful * **Store Replies** — store owners can reply to customer reviews * **Reviewer Avatars** — customers can upload profile photos * **Schema Markup** — rich snippet support for search engines * **Email Notifications** — configurable notification emails for new reviews * **Custom Criteria Ratings** (Pro) — add custom rating criteria per product category * **Email Reminders** (Pro) — send follow-up emails to request reviews * **Coupons for Reviews** (Pro) — offer discount coupons as incentives * **Analytics Dashboard** (Pro) — track review statistics and trends * **Carousel & Grid Layouts** (Pro) — display reviews in different layouts * **Social Proof Widget** (Pro) — show recent reviews in a floating widget #### How It Works 1. Install the plugin and activate it 2. Customers see an enhanced review form on product pages 3. They can upload photos (JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF) and videos (MP4, WebM) 4. Videos are automatically compressed in the browser before uploading 5. Reviews appear with media galleries, helpful voting, and reply threads #### Developer Friendly * Built on native WordPress comments (`comment_type = 'review'`) * Extends WooCommerce reviews — does not replace them * Full data model using custom tables with `{$wpdb->prefix}pvr_` prefix * Client-side processing with no server-side FFmpeg dependency * Translation-ready with JSON-backed i18n fallback layer * Well-documented hooks and filters for customization ### External Services This plugin optionally connects to Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect review submissions from spam. * **What it is:** Google reCAPTCHA is a security service that distinguishes humans from bots. * **What data is sent:** The reCAPTCHA token (generated client-side) and the page action label are sent to Google’s verification endpoint when a review is submitted. No personal data beyond the IP address (which is handled by Google’s own privacy policy) is transmitted. * **When it is sent:** Only when the “reCAPTCHA” option is enabled in plugin settings AND a visitor submits a review. * **Links:** - Google reCAPTCHA Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms - Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy Note: Reviewer avatars are uploaded and stored locally on your WordPress server. This plugin does not use Gravatar or any external avatar service. Avatars are managed entirely through the plugin’s own upload system (PVREV_Avatar class) and stored in the WordPress uploads directory. ## Screenshots [⌊Review form with photo and video upload area⌉⌊Review form with photo and video upload area⌉[ Review form with photo and video upload area [⌊Review form with photo and video upload area⌉⌊Review form with photo and video upload area⌉[ Review form with photo and video upload area [⌊Video compression in progress with real-time preview⌉⌊Video compression in progress with real-time preview⌉[ Video compression in progress with real-time preview [⌊Reviews list with photo gallery and helpful voting⌉⌊Reviews list with photo gallery and helpful voting⌉[ Reviews list with photo gallery and helpful voting [⌊Modal window with embedded video player⌉⌊Modal window with embedded video player⌉[ Modal window with embedded video player [⌊Plugin settings page with card-based UI⌉⌊Plugin settings page with card-based UI⌉[ Plugin settings page with card-based UI [⌊Modal window with all product media⌉⌊Modal window with all product media⌉[ Modal window with all product media ## Installation 1.

This can be configured in the plugin settings under the Limits tab. ### Does it work without WooCommerce? No. The plugin requires WooCommerce to be installed and active. It extends WooCommerce’s built-in review system. ### Is there a Pro version? Yes.
