Thanks for the donation. I’m working feverishly to get v3 ready for beta testers. Every time I think I am almost done, I find another bug that I don’t want beta testers to find first.

The only remaining piece is the v2 to v3 migration. v2 used a custom database table, where v3 uses a lot of built-in WP magic, such as custom post types. It makes for a much more seamless and consistent experience, and eliminates a lot of the bugs such as the edit function not working properly.

Thanks again for the support and vote of confidence. I’m trying my best to get this out to testers within a week.

isle2isle – I’m always happy to accept donations. You can find a “donate” link on the main plugin page ( https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-customer-reviews/ ) and then scroll all the way down on the page it opens to find the donation button. Money is a motivator 😉

mcbjag – We’re not planning on releasing updates to 2.x because 3.x is so close to being ready for testers.

It’s still being worked on. Life happened.

The new version is 95% completed and just needs some final touches to fix some bugs before it goes out to testers. Sorry this is taking so long. It is a side project for me until the pro version comes out. Once v3 is final, I can then convince my CFO (wife) that making the pro version and supporting free and pro would be worth the time commitment.

P.S. – If anybody has a time machine or cloning device, please let me know. This would help out a lot 🙂

The plugin probably became deactivated. Just try clicking one of the buttons on the lower part of the settings page and it should re-activate and all settings will appear.

I’m the developer and we respond to emails and the forum when we have time. Right now we are doing this for free (including the new version 3) so you could understand it isn’t top priority for us to provide free support. When version 3 is ready for beta testers, we are planning on releasing a Pro version which will have priority support for paying customers and we’ll offer paid support for users of the free version as well.

We didn’t disappear, we’ve just been busy working on many different projects and the plugin timeline got delayed. I’m nearly done with the complete plugin rewrite and hope to have it out to beta testers within a couple of weeks.

Turn off hCard display to prevent business information from showing on all pages. Email is not a required field, so if you do want the hCard displayed (it does not really have a benefit any longer) , you can do that and leave the email blank.

It does duplicate comment functionality and we are aware of this. We’ve thrown around the idea of adding ratings to comments, but sometimes people do want to comment on a page/post and also rate it separately. It would cause more issues if we did it differently unfortunately.

The CAPTCHA check is more than you think. 99% of automated spam bots will not be able to submit the form. If you look into the Javascript and logic behind it all, it would be “nearly” impossible for a bot to submit the form.

I have seen the rating stars flicker on some themes. We’ll look into a fix for that and maybe provide some different options for rating star styles.

We try to minimize conflicts as much as possible. The reviews of the plugin speak for themselves in that 99.9% of sites have no issue at all. That leaves the other 0.1% which do have issues. We do care about our users and reputation and try to respond to all detailed reports of bugs.

I hope you try version 3 which will be released soon and hopefully will resolve the issues that you were experiencing, whatever they were.
