Hi @nimonogi,
Thank you for reporting this.
We found that this issue can happen on some existing installations after updating to version 6.9.7 because of a database collation mismatch between the existing reviews table and the new review text table added in this release.
We are preparing an automatic plugin-side fix for the next update.
As a temporary fix, please make a database backup first, then run this SQL query:
ALTER TABLE wp_grp_google_review_text
MODIFY review_id VARCHAR(80)
CHARACTER SET utf8mb4
COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci
NOT NULL;
If your WordPress database prefix is not wp_, please replace wp_grp_google_review_text with your actual table name.
After running this query, please clear any site/plugin cache and check the reviews again on the front-end and back-end.
Sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you for your patience.
Hi @richplugins,
issue is still present on version 6.9.8. Version 6.9.6 is the last working.
