# 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:
