# Very nice design and very fast set up…

 * Edit: Thank you for your immediate response. Your plugin has a beautiful design.
   I also liked that star ratings can be brought up on the side menu for a quick
   evaluation.
    I have not re-tested it due to limited time and I have submitted
   my project yesterday to the client. However, seeing your work, I believe you 
   will correct the few glitches.
 * I always feel bad when I have to deduct a star knowing how much work there is
   behind all of your work. The less one star should not discourage anyone for giving
   your plugin a fear trial.
 * Best wishes!

    As of this review, I have the Star Review Manager Version: 1.2.2 First
   install, I had difficulty figuring the shortcode as the given one didn’t pick
   up anything. Current shortcode is `[srm_review_form container_id=2 srm_review
   id=2 option_type="stars"]`
 * Everything seemed just so fantastic. The rating system was quickly setup. Now
   I wanted to publish.
 * First problem:
    Since I am a developer and preparing this for a client, I added
   my email for testing purposes. Later wanted to change, but there is no ‘Edit’
   option to change notification email.
 * Just confirmed inside database: uninstall does not remove the srm_..tables. They
   are still there. I will go ahead and remove them manually.
 * Second problem:
    Although plugin looked like it was uninstalled. I installed 
   it again, but there must have been traces somewhere in WordPress database, because
   it started giving me the following error message
 * > Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /…/…/public_html/blog/wp-
   > content/plugins/star-review-manager/views/view.reviewform.php on line 55
 * .
 * I repeated the install/ uninstall but this time the ‘Manage review instances’
   navigation item would not uninstall from WP admin menu.
    Unfortunately, I had
   not taken any database backup for the past 3 days, but I went through the whole
   recovery of a 3 day old backup. Everything is messed up and I have to install
   WordPress all over again.
 * What I don’t get is that plugins are posted on WP and they are nowhere near beta
   testing. As developer, you should have tested install/uninstall processes ahead
   of time.
 * If we can resolve the above issues, I am willing to give this plugin another 
   try because the first time it was setup, it seemed to do the magic and would 
   change it to 5 star.
 * *Update: after uninstall of plugin, its (srm_tables) are still in the database.

 * Hello Muge,
 * I am sorry to hear that you had problems using this plugin but I will try to 
   clarify some things. Up front I would like to note that there are still some 
   improvements to be made.
 * Unfortunately I did not have the time in the last couple of months to make the
   necessary and unnecesary improvements. Like I said to others who emailed me, 
   I will try to pick it up as soon as I can.
 * >  Current shortcode is
   >  [srm_review_form container_id=2 srm_review id=2 option_type
   > =”stars”]
 * The two shortcodes that should work are:
    [srm_review_form container_id=1] > 
   review form [srm_review id=1 option_type=”stars”] > reviews
 * Whereby the id relates to the id of the review instance.

 * You are right that there is still no edit option for the review containers. It
   is on the ‘to-do’ list. It is very easy to re-create one and enter another email
   address though.

 * I did never experience this issue. Although I had someone email me with the same
   problem. I am going to address it in the next update. I am not sure if it is 
   caused by the unistall but I need to further assess that. I re-installed the 
   plugin on a website that I am using it on which didn’t give me the same error.
 * All data is saved in the srm_… tables. If you uninstall the plugin and remove
   those tables, there should not be any further problems. I do not put plugin-specific
   data in any of the wordpress tables.
 * I will add logic to the next version that will remove the srm_.. tables when 
   ninstalling the plugin.
 * Hopefully I addressed some of your concerns. I will keep you updated on the progress
   of the plugin!
