1. It is up to Google. They are output in a format that Google looks at, but if they don’t think your page has enough authority they may not display in search results. Nothing we can control.

2. If there are more words, it will affect keyword density. My standpoint is that your customers will use phrases relevant to your topic in their reviews so it actually helps you out and adds more searchable phrases to the page.

Sorry about the styling. A lot went into it to try and prevent issues with themes overriding our styles. There’s only so much you can reset with it.

I’ll look into allowing the ability to provide your own rating stars graphic which might get tricky with the different CSS that could be involved. A better option might be to provide several options for the display of the reviews. I’m allowing editing of some of the templates on the settings page, so you could technically have it output however you would like if all goes to plan.

I have planned to include additional shortcodes and php functions you can call within your theme so you could have a separate page for submitting the reviews.

Thanks for using the plugin and look forward to v3. We’re very close to inviting beta testers to provide feedback on it.

This has been fixed in v3 which will be the next release of the plugin with some major overhauls 🙂 Thanks for providing others with the fix for the current version.

We’re working on a new version which should resolve this issue. Right now some settings can get stuck without being used. The new logic will also provide more abilities to customize the templates.

They are documented on the main plugin settings page. They are not documented well, but you should be able to understand the simple explanation/example on the settings page. I’m currently working on v3.0 of the plugin which is a complete overhaul including the settings page which will have a “How to use” tab right there 🙂

We had previously had the css/js loading only on pages that are enabled. The problem is with shortcodes that WP will not allow us to use output buffering correctly, so we cannot add js/css to the head of the page once it has begun outputting. The current solution is what WP recommends and what other plugins use as having their css/js enabled on all pages of the site.

I don’t see any reviews on that page now so I cannot test it. I did notice the page has some Javascript errors on it that are reported in chrome at least — this sometimes causes the button to stop working as the errors are caused before the plugin code can be executed.

Sorry for the delay. A new version , 2.4.5 has been released that may fix the issue where the database table may not exist. Let me know if that fixes it for you. You’ll need to update and then visit the plugin settings page to automatically apply a fix.
