 * When this plugin is activated the admin dashboard widget seems to not work.
 * IT just shows no recent reviews. for any reviews made.
 * If I disable the plugin – and then you have to add a new review it shows in the
   widget
 * Can you assist?

 * The plug in doesn’t do anything with the admin dashboard of woocommerce. It sounds
   like woocommerce is crashing when the message status is pending.
 * Never understood what woocommerce’s problem was with posts being pending by default.
   Seems like the only way anyone would ever want it. Maybe they now totally removed
   the ability to deal with the pending state, which would be even less understandable.

 * Hi Tim,
 * It’s quite odd. Even if I just disabled this plugin, the reviews don’t show retroactively.
   But will show for any new review submitted (once the plugin is disabled)
 * I contacted woocommerce and basically advised me to contact you.
 * 1. Do you know how that dashboard widget actually get’s populated?
    2. Once a
   review is moderated and approved, does it return to the normal state a review
   would be / the widget expects?
 * Appreciate your help
