I really love this product as a great added value for my site! On top, Spartac and team provide excellent support all the time. What can you wish more from a business partner! Thanks a lot!
I am a novice webmaster and this plugin was a snap to install and use. My only suggestion to make the plugin better would be to allow the user to select from a pool of smileys, bulbs, lightning etc… (or add their own) when adding more than 3 emotions in the control panel. The existing ones are USEFUL, FUNNY and COOL which are changeable without loosing the existing emotion. But the 4th does not have an avatar. I don’t know if there is some way for the user to add this feature to the back office code.
Great product!
I am always keen to upgrade my site to keep the users coming back. This plugin like all of Spartacs plugins work out the box and is a great addition to my site. Keep them coming 🙂

How does review of the day work? I have reviews added today that have been voted on and there’s still nothing that shows up in the widget area.
The review of the day is a widget, go to appearance => widget and drop it to the sidebar that You want.
it will display the high rated review.
Cheers
You make awesome plugins! You really know what people want!
Thanks a lot daniel, I am glad to hear that You like it.
Regards

Yes it’s compatible with vantage reveiwer and directory child theme.
Thank you for considering to purchase it.
Best regards
I cant see the review of the day. Is something went wrong? How does it pull the reviews?
The review of the day is a widget, after installing the plugin, go to appearance => widget => drop it to the sidebar you want
Regards
Hi,
I’ve just bought this plugin, I’ve done as you told (drop it to sidebar), but nothing is shown in widget Review Of The Day.
Hi Modima,
is it fixed or not?
can you post your url?
I’ve sent you images, url and credentials to your mail.
Tihs isnt working for activities? I just realized it when I went to activities tab and tested with a review. Hod Do I set it up with activities?
It works with listings only , anywhere the reviews appears
It work accept non english characters like ı ş ç ö. Help please?
It wont- it does not accept non english characters like ı ş ç ö. Help please?
Hello Spartac. this will be third: This is only accepting english letters. I cant write ı, ç,ş can you find a solution for this? Do I need to send a ticket?
Hi
Sorry but we don’t provide support in the comments, We replied you by email.
Cheers
hello
RateMyReview and compatible with ClassiPress?
Hi
Ratemyreview is a plugin for vantage, it’s not compatible with any theme except vantage.
Dear Spartac team,
i like this plugin a lot. The issue is that some of my sites have absolutely no problems. One specific site has the plugin well displayed but on click, absolutely NOTHING happens! I tried everything, desinstalled all other plugins, even installed the vantage and directory theme. I just can’t explain it and your support team stays absolutely SILENT. Is there anyone here who experienced the same and who can explain me a possible cause? Much appreciated!
PS: can it be that some permissions block the counting?
Hi Phil,
I will keep in touch with you and see what happens behind your website. there must is some conflict over there.
if anyone experience the same thing, please tell us.
Cheers
HI Spartac, thanks!:) Yes I guess that in the past, a deactivated plugin must cause this issue!
Hi Spartac team, i have two new sites with same issue without any previous plugins whatsoever. Very difficult for me to hammer down the issue causing the non-counting.
I replied yuou back by email, let’s keep it there , Phil 🙂
Dear Spartac team, thanks to your excellent support, we found out that I forgot to activate reviews in my listings!:) As usual, thanks a million for your support!
Regarding the review of the day, is it possible to display the top 5 most helpful reviews, for example? Or is it only ever just 1? For that matter, does it only display the most helpful one if it’s posted on that specific day, or does it not matter what day the comment was placed?
Sorry, I just noticed the screenshot in the pictures for this plugin that show that it can, in fact, show 5 reviews and not just one. It also shows a review from 9 months ago, so I think that also answers the question about whether it only shows reviews the same day they’re posted.
Hi carpediemtim,
It’s possible to show more than one review. you can show up to 5
It displays the most helpful one posted in that specific day, but if there is no review submitted , the function goes backward and look for the most useful relevant one to publish, the same system as in yelp.
Cheers
Thanks for getting back to me, Spartac, but one of the settings for the widget (I purchased it already) says “How many review to display, 5 max”. So that sure doesn’t sound like it’d need advanced modifications. That said, I put the widget in my home sidebar content area, and nothing’s showing up except for the header/title, even though I know that at least one comment has been marked as helpful.
Thoughts?
Hi Carpediemtim,
I posted that answer because I thought you asked for somethng else, then I changed it (perhaps you read my reply in your email 😉
Yes there is that option to show the review of the day.
can you post your url ?
Ah yes, you appear to be correct, although I don’t see a way to edit my comment.
Also, regarding the ‘missing’ helpful review I mentioned, it seems to be working at the moment, and I assume it had to do with the caching plugin I’m using.
Thank you kindly for your time.
Come to think of it, I’ll have to adjust the cache settings or else I think no new helpful reviews will show up.
I assumed so as well, as lojng as you website will be filled with reviews, they will show up periodically.
as I said , the same system as yelp.
Regards
FWIW, further testing showed that it wasn’t the caching plugin, but rather the fact that this plugin only checks once per day for updated, uh, helpfulness? So what I did was download a (WordPress) cron job scheduler, and adjusted ‘var_rating_calc_top_reviews’ to run every hour.
Any idea why I can no longer see this plugin on my site? Maybe related to a recent WordPress update or something? If I view the source, I can see divs with the class “rate-review”, so it seems to be there just not visible for some reason. If I knew how to PM you with the URL, I would…
Hi
can you seend the url + admin access to support @ jobthemes.com
I cannot replicate this issue on my install with the latest verisons of vantage or wp
Cheers
FWIW, I did a completely fresh install in a test environment with zero other plugins except for ratemyreview, and it’s still not visible.
Thanks for getting back with me. How would I go about sending you a PM?
I don’t understand how I can create a completely new installation of WP, Vantage, and the plugin, and the issue is present and yet the same isn’t true for you?
Yes you can pm the url + admin access !
Apologies, but I don’t see anything on your profile that would enable me to PM you. Aside that and the fact that I can’t hand out admin access to a live production site willy nilly, as I’m sure you can understand, using the code inspector in Chrome, I can see that the elements are actually there. It’s just that there’s inline CSS element that’s hiding them. It appears to be the very last element on the page before the footer file:
.rate-review{display:none}
I’ve tried overriding it in the theme’s styles.css file with no luck, and I’ve found nothing related in the footer file.
I included the because I think that’s a clue. Doesn’t that indicate that it’s related to a sidebar widget?
BTW, I’m not sure what the previous issue was before with my fresh installation (maybe I was looking at a cached version of the page?), but it’s working just fine in my test environment.
Can you please post at least the url ?
from where that display:none is coming, what file?N
