FAQ

How do I use the shortcode?
-
Use
[verdix]to display the review box for the current post, or[verdix id="123"]for a specific post. -
How do I migrate from WP Review Pro?
-
Go to Verdix Reviews > Migration. The tool scans for posts with WP Review Pro data and lets you migrate them one by one or all at once. Ratings stored as percentage or points are converted to the 0-5 star scale on import.
-
Does this work with the classic editor?

Yes. If you use the classic editor, a meta box appears below the post editor with the same fields as the block.
-
How do I customize the review box colors?
-
Go to Verdix Reviews > Settings > Appearance to set the star/accent color, background color, and border color. Values are applied via CSS custom properties so they can be overridden in your theme CSS.
-
How do I control where the review box appears?
-
Set a global default position in Verdix Reviews > Settings (before content, after content, both, or manual). Override per post in the block sidebar or meta box. “Manual” means the review box only appears where you place a Review Box block or
[verdix]shortcode. -
Where is the JSON-LD output?

In
