  1. Its a great widget. But i have been looking for info on how to add aggregate schema.org rating but cant find this info. It just says it can be added but does not say how to do it. The google testing tool does not show the rating because schema markup is missing. My question is – how to add it?

    1. In the free version, schema.org microdata is enabled on single pages by default. Alternatively, the [mr_rating_result] shortcode has a attribute generate_microdata so you can override this if needed (e.g. [mr_rating_result generate_microdata=”true”]). Note in the Pro version there’s also an option in the plugin settings page to default whether schema.org microdata is generated or not. You may be interested in checking out this blog post on how to add rich snippets in search engine result pages.

    1. Hi Vincenzo,

      The free version has a single rating form. But the Pro version supports the ability to add multiple rating forms on a single post. Simply provide the rating form id in the shortcode e.g. [mrp_rating_form rating_form_id="1" title="My Rating Form 1"] and [mrp_rating_form rating_form_id="2" title="My Rating Form 2"].

      Cheers, Daniel.

    1. Hi there,

      I’m sorry you cannot do this in the free version.

      You can do this easily in the premium version though. Create 5 different rating forms for each rating item. Then add the rating form you want to the specific pages. You can do this via the auto placement settings on each page (edit post meta box) or by specifying the rating_form_id in the [mrp_rating_form] shortcode (e.g. [mrp_rating_form rating_form_id="1"]).

      Daniel.

  4. Hi,

    I am using the free version right now. Is there functionality to add where the user giving a rating has to be logged in / subscribed to WordPress?

  5. Hello Daniel,
    thank you for the awesome plugin.
    I would like to list rating results by rating items (rating_item_id). Is that possible?
    Thank you!
    Tabea

    1. If you’re asking about the maximum rating item value that can be selected, then yes you can customize the max option value per rating item. But if it’s the average rating out of number you want to customize, there’s an option in the premium version to do this.

    2. Hi Lanre,

      In the free version. The maximum average rating is always calculated out of 5. However, an advanced option is available in the premium version which allows you to change this if you want.

      Cheers, Daniel

  7. THIS IS AMAZING! This is pretty much exactly the plugin I was looking to use for my site and to integrate the wordpress comments system with a fully featured ratings function. If I had a few general pre-sales questions, are you happy for me to ask them here this week?

  9. Hi!
    Is it also possible to limit the number of stars to one single star? I need a plugin with which users can just select one favorite post with one star, not a “rating” with 5.
