In reply to: [Rich Showcase for Google Reviews] Request for Compatibility UpdateHi,
We can confirm, it’s absolutely right behavior. The plugin uses a public WProcket’s plugin filter to include plugin’s CSS file to “Remove Unused CSS” option. It’s mandatory for using this plugin correctly because on many websites WProcket removes many styles which used in the plugin dynamically and it broke layouts.
Thanks!
Hi,
Yes, sure, it’s a PHP side, this check occurs before shortcode or widget initialization.
New release should be on next week
Thanks!

In reply to: [Rich Showcase for Google Reviews] Reviews updationHi,
When I checked your Google API key via the following API URL:
I got this error message:
“error_message” : “You must enable Billing on the Google Cloud Project at https://console.cloud.google.com/project/_/billing/enable Learn more at https://developers.google.com/maps/gmp-get-started”,
It means that billing is not enabled.
In this case you need to recheck that you added your bank card to the right Project where you created the API key.
Thanks!

In reply to: [Rich Showcase for Google Reviews] Latest google reviews not showingHi,
Google reviews are not updating because billing is not enabled for your API key in Google Console.
Recently, Google has disabled the use of Places API for free and introduced mandatory Billing. Unfortunately, since the plugin uses this Places API to show reviews, you need to enable Billing on your Google account. It’s a limitation of Google, not specifically the plugin.
You can enable a Billing here https://console.cloud.google.com/project/_/billing/enable and learn more about it here https://developers.google.com/maps/gmp-get-started.
Don’t worry, Google is currently giving $200 free credit a month and it should be enough to use the plugin for connecting several Google places without additional fees except this free $200 credits.
If you have any questions please let us know.
Thanks!
Hi @galbaras,
Thank you for explanation.
However, in the next version we implemented another solution. We introduced new option (load js/css on demand) and if it’s true, enqueue_scripts/enqueue_styles calls when shortcode and/or widget initialized.
But it has some side effect, js/css assets load and appear at the end of the HTML page.
Thanks!

Hi @galbaras,
Thank you for your great code, it gave us food for thought.
However, the function has_shortcode can makes some sideeffect when user uses a site/page builder and put shortcode to unspecific places (header, rows, popups etc). In this case we do not know which exactly content we should pass in that function.
Anyway, thanks for that code!

In reply to: [Rich Showcase for Google Reviews] When do you accept translation into build?Hi,
We found the problem. By some reason translation file is called wrong, it’s widget-google-reviews-fi_FI.mo instead of widget-google-reviews-fi.mo.
We will fix this in the next release and if you have a good translation for ‘review us on G’ button, we will also add this.
Thanks!
Hi @galbaras,
Yes, it’s good idea. Could you write some little bit more lines how this filter would works?
Thanks!

In reply to: [Rich Showcase for Google Reviews] When do you accept translation into build?Hi,
It should be translated, I see it in *.po file, please check Site Language field on the page Settings / General in your wp-admin, it should be Finnish, because the plugin uses this option to show messages. Thanks!

In reply to: [Rich Showcase for Google Reviews] Show most relevant reviewsHi,
I’m afraid, it’s not possible, because Google API does not return information about most-helpful attribute and the plugin has nowhere to get this information. Thanks!
Hi,
Thank you for share a good idea. In the next version we add special option for demand loads assets. With this option JS/CSS resources will be enqueue only on pages where widget shortcode is.Thanks!

In reply to: [Rich Showcase for Google Reviews] When do you accept translation into build?Hi,
It seems this coverage is showing stats for wp-admin too, because for front-end there’s only one string is not translated: review us on G.
Thanks!
