 * Hello,
    Great plugin. Is there any way how to use normal PHP in review template?
   I think your “templating” is very limited. If I could use normal PHP it would
   be much better.. Is there any way how to edit output of form? For example remove
   placeholder etc. Thanks:)

 * The templates are simply PHP files so you can add any PHP code you wish. The 
   templating system has been built with non-developers in mind, but can easily 
   be used with PHP code.
 * If you would like to access the review fields as PHP variables, try adding this
   to the template to view the available review fields:
 * `glsr_debug( $context );`
 * The plugin is very flexible and almost anything can be modified. Have a look 
   through the many Site Reviews code snippet examples here for ideas:

 * However, to remove things like placeholders you do not need a custom template.
   Go to the Site Reviews > Settings > Translations page, search for the placeholder
   text you wish to remove, then replace it with a single space character. This 
   will “remove” the placeholder text.

 * Well glsr_debug( $context ); is what I was looking for! 🙂 I didn’t find it in
   documentation tho.
    About the placeholder, I tried that, but sadly it doesn’t
   work. When it is only space, it does default placeholder text 🙁

 * It works for me and many others. Make sure to save the settings after setting
   your custom translations. If it still does not work, please follow the instructions
   on the “Contact support” section of the Documentation page.
