Limit Reviews – correct usage?

Hi! I’m using Site Reviews 5.1.6 and I’m not sure how to make it so that users can rate individual posts/pages but not rate the same post/page more than once.

I’ve set Limit Reviews to “by Username.”

I have a custom post type called Sessions. On each session, I’m displaying the reviews via shortcode in the single-session.php file:

[site_reviews_form assigned_posts=post_id hide="content,email,name,terms,title"]

I also have a popup where I’ve inserted the shortcode to rate a specific page with an ID of 17. That shortcode looks like this:

[site_reviews_form assigned_posts=17 hide="content,email,name,terms,title"]

When I test things out, I’m only able to rate 1 session. When I go to another session or the popup, it says I’ve already submitting a review.

Am I doing something wrong?

Shouldn’t the limit be applied to the assigned post/page? Not the site overall?

Since you are assigning a specific Post ID assigned_posts=17 to the form shortcode, all reviews submitted on the form will be assigned to the page with a Post ID of 17.

If you are limiting review to Username, that means that the currently logged-in user will only be able to submit a review in that form one time (since the form will always assign the review to the page with a Post ID of 17).

Instead, you can use assigned_posts=post_id in the form shortcode. That way, the form will assign reviews to the Post ID of the current page instead of only the page with a Post ID of 17.

I tried changing the shortcode in the popup to use post_id, but the same issue occurs. I went ahead and removed that shortcode so that the shortcode ONLY appears on the custom post type single pages.

But, I still have the same issue. It only lets me rate 1 session. If I go to a different session (which has a different post ID), it says I’ve already submitted a review.

If you cannot wait for the update, you can patch it yourself by replacing the following plugin file:

site-reviews/plugin/Modules/Validator/ReviewLimitsValidator.php

With this one:
