Snippet types Article/WebPage/NewsArticle… no longer allow for ratings to be included. I linked the information in the previous topic you opened. I can’t do anything to change what Google has done, and they have severely limited how snippet ratings are used.
Some plugins like KK star with this code show Rating in google rich snippets testing tool
{
“@context”: “https://schema.org/”,
“@type”: “CreativeWorkSeries”,
“name”: “[title]”,
“aggregateRating”: {
“@type”: “AggregateRating”,
“ratingValue”: “[score]”,
“bestRating”: “[best]”,
“ratingCount”: “[count]”
}
}
Every link from my site that I enter into a Google testing tool shows only the article like this

How can I add this piece, which is the score of each post?

You can do this with my plugin and Custom Type, it can be any other snippet type. But, using snippet type that doesn’t correspond to the content on the page is breaking the Google rules, and if they catch you, they can remove your snippets from search completely. If you use snippet type ‘CreativeWorkSeries’ your post has to be related to that snippet type, it can’t be just any blog post.
ReviewRating is not the same as AggregateRating. AggregateRating is a combination of votes a content received. ReviewRating is the rating connected to actual review written by a person. GD Rating System Pro has review rating methods allowing post author to add his own unique review and rating to be used for ReviewRating values.

Do you mean that in the professional version, the author of the article can put a value for Rivio that is shown in the Google testing tool ?
Or the star ratings displayed as a ReviewRating values on Google testing tool ?
I just want the star ratings of the posts to be displayed in testing tool
In any way possible with your plugin
Is there no way to display aggregateRating when testing with Google tools in the article?
Yes, Pro version include Stars and Slider Review methods: https://plugins.dev4press.com/gd-rating-system/articles/author-reviews-with-stars-rating/. And, it is added as ReviewRating to snippets that support it.
But, I think you are missing the point of using the rich snippets, and in various threads, in this forum, I tried to better explain it to you that you can’t just use any kind of snippet, snippet has to reflect the content and misusing snippets can incur penalties from Google. If you have a blog with articles, you can’t use rich snippet for ‘Book’ or ‘Product’, you have to use rich snippet ‘Article’. But, that snippet type no longer allows ratings because Google wants to use snippet ratings for actual products or services, not blog posts or news.
