    Hi,

    Firstly, AMAZING plugin! You’ve done amazing. So clean and simple to use.

    I only have a few questions. I am looking to use the plugin and to make my site function similar to Trust Pilot. I can see your plugin allows users to leave a review and also to list the review. That’s perfect. However, would it also allow other users to:

    – Reply with a custom name rather than the default WordPress logged in name (e.g. Hannah leaves a review on ‘John’. ‘John’ then replies to Hannah’s review on him).
    – Share review
    – Custom fields for the front-end submission form and which then show on the front-end results

    Please see a screenshot here of how TrustPilot shows reviews (https://ibb.co/kQY5cd).

    It would be great if the above was possible. If not, it would be great for a quote on how much it would cost to allow the above functions to the plugin to be added.

    Many thanks,

    NP

    None of the three features you list are available in Site Reviews as you have described them:

    1. Site reviews allows a site owner to reply to a review, but it it does not offer comment-like functionality (i.e. multi-level commenting on other user reviews).

    2. Site Reviews does not provide a single-review permalink which is why you are not able to share a specific review. You can always share the page the reviews are shown on, just not the reviews themselves.

    Technically this could be possible by using the site-reviews/rendered/review hook to add share links (where the URLs have a query string based on the $review->post_id) and then using something like this to modify the wp_query.

    3. Site Reviews does not officially support custom fields, however this is possible by using a custom template, adding your own custom fields, and handling the validation and display of the custom fields yourself.

    The following links may be of interest:

    4. Custom feature development for Site Reviews is not possible at the moment. However, each of these three features (custom-fields, social reviews, review discussions) are planned to be released as add-ons once v3 has been released.

    Thank you so much for your amazing reply. I really appreciate it and the amazing work you’ve done on this plugin. I will give each of your solutions a try.

    Is there an estimated time for the add-ons for v3? Really excited to see it 🙂

    I do not have estimated release dates for the add-ons mentioned above. However, Site Reviews v3.0 should be available sometime in June/July 2018 if there are no unforeseen delays.
