BP-WP Profile Reviews was created to fill the need for reviews, ratings, and testimonials on BuddyPress on member profiles. Because BuddyBoss is so closely related with BuddyPress, users have reported the plugin is working fine with that platform.
This plugin is an adaptation of the amazing plugin BP Group Reviews. This plugin has two functions that can be used together or separately:
BuddyPress Member Profile Reviews – This option enables a Reviews tab and button for BuddyPress Member Profiles. Members can leave text and star reviews or testimonials on other members. The average star rating, number of reviews, and time is displayed. Reviews can only be deleted by the author or an administrator. The amount and average star ratings are displayed on the Member Directory. Reviews are fed into the activity stream. You can also reply and comment on reviews. Activity Streams need to be enabled for this plugin to work properly.
List of Features
- BuddyPress Member Reviews – rate out of 5 stars and leave text reviews on BuddyPress member profiles.
- Restrict Reviews by WordPress Role – restrict reviews to be created and/or received by members with specified membership role (ex: compatible with s2member plugin).
- Review Moderation – Allow members to flag reviews. Notices of flagged reviews are sent to Admin.
- Highest or Most Rated Member Lists – Shortcodes to display list of members with the highest or most reviews.
- Anonymous Member Reviews – Option to allow BuddyPress members to leave reviews anonymously
- Public Reviews – allow non-BuddyPress members to create reviews. Includes captcha spam prevention, confirm reviews by email, and Admin notices of new reviews. Non-confirmed reviews are shown to Admin.
- Member Directory Review Summary – Displays average review rating next to member name on BuddyPress member directory.
