Introducing Stella Ratings & Reviews Plugin for WordPress

Customer reviews are one of the most important trust signals on any website. Whether you run a WooCommerce store, a service business, a product website, or a content platform, reviews help visitors understand real user experiences before they take action.

That is why we created Stella Ratings & Reviews, a WordPress plugin designed to help website owners collect, display, moderate, and analyze customer feedback with ease.

What Is Stella Ratings & Reviews?

Stella Ratings & Reviews is a WordPress star rating and review plugin that lets you add a complete review system to your website.

With the plugin, visitors can submit star ratings and written reviews, while site administrators can manage those reviews from a dedicated moderation dashboard.

The plugin is built for flexibility. You can display the review widget automatically on selected post types, place it manually using a shortcode, customize form fields, control review limits, and decide how customer feedback appears on the frontend.

Key Features in the Free Version

Star Ratings and Review Forms

Visitors can submit star ratings and written feedback directly from your website. The form can include fields such as name, email, website, review text, and custom fields.

Customizable Form Fields

The Form Fields section allows you to decide which fields appear in the form, which fields appear in the public review, and which fields are mandatory.

You can also add custom fields such as location, phone number, country, or any extra information useful for your business.

Review Moderation Dashboard

The moderation dashboard gives administrators full control over submitted reviews.

You can approve, unapprove, edit, delete, search, filter, sort, and export reviews from one place.

Auto Placement and Shortcode Support

Stella Ratings can automatically display the review widget on selected posts, pages, products, or custom post types.

You can also use the shortcode manually wherever you want:

[stella_ratings]

The shortcode supports parameters such as review limit and product key, making it easy to reuse review blocks across different pages.

Review Limits and Anti-Spam Controls

To reduce spam and duplicate submissions, Stella Ratings includes options such as one review per email and IP-based rate limiting.

Custom Messages and Text

You can customize frontend messages, button labels, validation messages, and review form text to match your brand voice.

Advanced Features in Stella Ratings Pro

For websites that need more powerful review tools, Stella Ratings Pro adds advanced features for trust, engagement, media, SEO, WooCommerce, and analytics.

Photo and Video Uploads

Allow users to attach images or videos to their reviews. This is especially useful for WooCommerce products, testimonials, portfolios, and service proof.

Owner Replies

Respond directly to customer reviews from the moderation dashboard. Owner replies are displayed under the review on the frontend.

Verified Purchase Badges

Mark reviews as verified to increase trust. Pro supports manual verification and automatic verification for supported WooCommerce purchase data.

Multi-Criteria Ratings

Instead of one overall score, customers can rate multiple criteria such as:

• Quality
• Support
• Pricing
• Overall experience

This gives visitors more detailed feedback and gives site owners better insight into strengths and weaknesses.

Helpful Review Voting

Let visitors vote whether a review was helpful or not helpful. This helps highlight the most useful customer feedback.

Advanced SEO Schema

Stella Ratings Pro can add structured rating data for search engines, including aggregate rating schema and individual review schema options.

WooCommerce Product Tab Integration

Display reviews inside a custom WooCommerce product tab with a custom tab title such as Customer Reviews, Product Ratings, or Buyer Feedback.

Gutenberg Block Support

Add the Stella Ratings widget directly inside the WordPress block editor without copying shortcodes.
