Sie funktionieren als Shortcode-Attribute ([ratingstar variant=\"carousel\" car-count=\"4\"]<\/code>), im Feld \u201eEmbed-Attribute\" des Blocks oder in den Einstellungen f\u00fcr das seitenweite Siegel; ung\u00fcltige Werte fallen still auf den Standard zur\u00fcck.<\/p>\n\nSchlank und schnell:<\/strong> Das Siegel-Skript wird asynchron und nur auf Seiten mit Siegel geladen. Die Bewertungsdaten f\u00fcrs JSON-LD holt Ihr Server selbst \u2014 bei hinterlegtem API-Key umbenennungs-fest \u00fcber den key-basierten Endpunkt \u2014 und speichert sie 6 Stunden zwischen; ausgegeben wird das Markup nur auf der Startseite. Ist die JSON-LD-Ausgabe aktiv, unterdr\u00fcckt das Siegel sein eigenes Snippet, damit die Bewertung nie doppelt im Markup steht.<\/p>\n\nExternal services<\/h3>\n\n
This plugin connects to the RatingStar<\/strong> platform (https:\/\/ratingstar.de), a review collection and rating seal service operated by Baumg\u00e4rtner Marketing GmbH. The connection is what the plugin is for: it displays your RatingStar seal with live rating data and outputs your rating as Google review stars. Without a RatingStar profile the plugin does nothing.<\/p>\n\nWhat is sent, and when:<\/p>\n\n
\n- Seal widget:<\/strong> When a page containing a seal is shown, the visitor's browser loads
seal.js<\/code>, the seal styles and the rating data for the configured profile from ratingstar.de, and requests a tracking pixel that counts the seal impression (and, on click, the click). As with any web request, the visitor's IP address and user agent technically reach the server; the plugin itself transmits no names, e-mail addresses or other personal fields.<\/li>\n- Static image mode:<\/strong> The visitor's browser loads a single SVG image from ratingstar.de.<\/li>\n
- Google review stars (JSON-LD):<\/strong> Your web server \u2014 not the visitor \u2014 fetches the rating summary from ratingstar.de (identified by your site URL in the user agent) and caches it for 6 hours. No visitor data is involved.<\/li>\n
- Settings:<\/strong> When you save a changed profile slug, your web server verifies it against ratingstar.de once.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Service provider: Baumg\u00e4rtner Marketing GmbH, Germany.<\/p>\n\n
\n- Terms of service: https:\/\/ratingstar.de\/agb<\/li>\n
- Privacy policy: https:\/\/ratingstar.de\/datenschutz<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
\n- Upload the
ratingstar-de-seal<\/code> folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code>, or install the ZIP via Plugins \u2192 Add New \u2192 Upload Plugin<\/em>.<\/li>\n- Activate RatingStar.de Seal<\/strong> through the Plugins<\/em> menu.<\/li>\n
- Go to Settings \u2192 RatingStar<\/em> and enter your profile slug<\/strong> (the part after
ratingstar.de\/t\/<\/code>). The slug is verified against your live profile. Optionally add your API key<\/strong> (rs_live_\u2026<\/code>) for the rename-proof key-based endpoints.<\/li>\n- Whitelist your domain in the RatingStar backend (tab \"Auslieferung\" \/ Delivery) and verify it via the
TXT _ratingstar.<domain><\/code> DNS record \u2014 otherwise the seal data may be blocked with HTTP 403.<\/li>\n- Place the seal on a page or post \u2014
[ratingstar variant=\"profile-card\"]<\/code> or the RatingStar Seal<\/strong> block \u2014 or enable the site-wide seal<\/strong> in the settings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\nDeutsch<\/h4>\n\n\n- Plugin \u00fcber Plugins \u2192 Installieren<\/em> suchen und installieren \u2014 oder den Ordner
ratingstar-de-seal<\/code> nach \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> hochladen.<\/li>\n- RatingStar.de Seal<\/strong> unter Plugins<\/em> aktivieren.<\/li>\n
- Unter Einstellungen \u2192 RatingStar<\/em> den Profil-Slug<\/strong> eintragen (der Teil hinter
ratingstar.de\/t\/<\/code>). Der Slug wird gegen Ihr Live-Profil gepr\u00fcft. Optional den API-Key<\/strong> (rs_live_\u2026<\/code>) f\u00fcr die umbenennungs-festen key-basierten Endpunkte hinterlegen.<\/li>\n- Ihre Domain im RatingStar-Backend unter \u201eAuslieferung\" freischalten und per DNS-Eintrag
TXT _ratingstar.<domain><\/code> best\u00e4tigen \u2014 sonst k\u00f6nnen die Siegel-Daten mit HTTP 403 blockiert werden.<\/li>\n- Siegel auf einer Seite platzieren \u2014
[ratingstar variant=\"profile-card\"]<\/code> oder Block RatingStar Seal<\/strong> \u2014 oder in den Einstellungen das seitenweite Siegel<\/strong> aktivieren.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\nWhere do I find my profile slug?<\/h3><\/dt>\nIt is the last part of your public profile URL: https:\/\/ratingstar.de\/t\/<slug><\/code>. Enter just the <slug><\/code> part on the settings page.<\/p><\/dd>\nWhich variants are there?<\/h3><\/dt>\nThe round seal and the banner seal are static and work on every plan. Profile card, trust bar, hero snippet, featured quote, carousel, wall of love and footer bar are live widgets and need a 4-star plan or higher \u2014 on lower plans seal.js shows the banner seal instead.<\/p><\/dd>\n
How do I change colours, sizes and other options?<\/h3><\/dt>\nOpen the embed generator in your RatingStar portal, configure the widget and copy the resulting attributes into the shortcode, the block's \"Embed attributes\" field or the site-wide settings. The data-<\/code> prefix may be included or left out; invalid values fall back silently.<\/p><\/dd>\nThe seal does not appear.<\/h3><\/dt>\nMake sure a profile slug is saved under Settings \u2192 RatingStar<\/em> and that the page contains the [ratingstar]<\/code> shortcode, the RatingStar Seal block or an enabled site-wide seal. Check that your domain is whitelisted and DNS-verified in the RatingStar backend. If you use a caching or \"remove unused JavaScript\" plugin, make sure seal.js<\/code> from ratingstar.de<\/code> is not blocked.<\/p><\/dd>\nDoes this work with caching plugins?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. The rating data for the JSON-LD is cached server-side for 6 hours via a WordPress transient, so page caches stay light. The seal itself renders client-side from live data; the static image is cached by CDN and browser.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Data protection \/ GDPR<\/h3><\/dt>\nThe seal widget loads seal.js<\/code> and rating data from ratingstar.de<\/code>, so visitors' browsers connect to that domain when a seal is shown. Mention this in your privacy policy and, if you use a consent solution, treat ratingstar.de<\/code> accordingly. The server-side Google review stars (JSON-LD) do not<\/strong> require any client-side connection; the static image mode only requests a single image.<\/p><\/dd>\nDo I need an embed key?<\/h3><\/dt>\nThe seal works with your public profile slug alone. The API key (format rs_live_\u2026<\/code> from your RatingStar backend) is recommended for the Google review stars: it drives the rename-proof key-based endpoints, which keep working when your profile slug changes and are open on all plans.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n1.0.0<\/h4>\n\n\n- First public release.<\/li>\n
- Seal widget in nine variants (shortcode + block) with the portal's per-embed appearance attributes.<\/li>\n

LocalBusiness<\/code> JSON-LD, cached for 6 hours, duplicate-free.<\/li>\n- Linked static image mode (SVG) for round seal, banner seal and profile card.<\/li>\n
- Slug verification, configurable base origin, domain-whitelist hints.<\/li>\n
