Additional reply to previous response.
I just checked some previous post from different users and found many peoples already reported it where i found below response:
`Hi,
You can go to Products > select products and add number of virtual reviews, see this https://prnt.sc/1s0m6tr
Best regards.`
But this does not solve the problem. If you have 10 to 20 products on website then it is good but if you have 100 to 200 products then you will need to add reviews count for each product one by one.
that means for 100 products I need to run this process for 100 times.
Another issue. I can post review between 1 to 10 count that means my 1 to 10 products will have different review count but after that from 11 products I need to run this process two times for 1 product and after 30 products 3 times per product and same will continue.
So basically for 100 products I may need to run this process for more than 500 times.
But it will create another issue, my reviews will look sequential from 1 to 100 count. and, to avoid it I may need to run another 500 to 1000 times to make it look normal.
so, I may end up running around 2000+ times more for 100 products to make reviews genuine.
Hi,
We updated in the plugin a new feature to let select randomly the number of virtual reviews for the product ( In the Products), see this: https://prnt.sc/1s8xlp4
Please update this new version.
Best regards.
Hello,
1 to 10 reviews is very less to make variance.
Just think if you have 100 products on your website and with help bulk review you generated 100 reviews per product and now if you use 10 reviews variance then all reviews will be under 100 to 110 which looks suspicious.
It should have option to selected variance of 100 or better 300.
Also, the option you have given can add to selected products on a page. but same if you add it in your bulk review page then it would be big help.
From their we will be able to select random reviews for a whole category.
Hi,
Please update the latest version of this plugin, then in the functions.php file, add this custom code:
add_filter( 'wvr_limit_quantity', function () {
return 20;
} );
You can change the number 20 to another number you want.
Best regards.
Hi
I found a bug after previous update.
I went to Virtual Review Plugin then entered 330 reviews for all product in category and found instead of 660 reviews, it is posting 420 reviews. that is double of what I mentioned.
ALso, I found a weird issue in flow.
I think instead of running sequently, this plugin is trying to publish reviews in one process and because of that it is increasing load on server and server is stoping the process of this plugin.
I posted 330 reviews for one category and found it posted reviews on 6 to 10 products then it was stopped.
Hi,
Thank you for your waiting.
In fact, it is restricted by your server when there are too many reviews uploaded at the same time. Therefore we recommended and advised the threshold at the very first time.
Best regards.

Actually there are no restriction by server.
Wordpress has no optimization on using resources. so even if I put unlimited server resources, wordpress will fail to get the work done as WordPress is not optimized to use resources in proper way.
If I process a bulk work then wordpress will not process it in sequence. It will try to process all at once and there it fails.
That is why there are many wordprless plugin who doing any kind of bulk process they do it in packets with certain period gaps to normalize the server and wordpress before next packet run.
For me, I even used my VPS with (12 Core, 32 GB Ram) and this too get failed.
So without tuning it in packet or splited process it will continuously throw error.
Hi,
We are sorry for missing your message.
We will try to find an optimal method for this problem, please kindly wait for the update.
Best regards.
