Frequently Asked Questions

About the Ratings & Reviews extension

Is it possible to sort entries by ratings? I want all the entries rated 5-star to appear at the top.

Unfortunately, that’s not possible yet.

Is it possible to import/export existing reviews?

Reviews are stored as WordPress Comments and are associated with entries in a way that prevents them from being imported/exported.

Can I integrate Ratings & Reviews with another WordPress comment plugin, like wpDiscuz?

Unfortunately, no. Ratings & Reviews does not support third-party comment plugins.

Is it possible to rate an entry from the Multiple Entries page without clicking into the Single Entry?

Yes, that’s possible.

Is it possible to display ratings/reviews on the Multiple Entries page?

You can display ratings on the Multiple Entries page, but reviews are only visible on the Single Entry page.
