Hi @dunksterp,

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 @natali1305,

1. If you need to choose and show several reviews, please hide other via the [HIDE] button:

2. I don’t quite understand your second question, but if you mean to show a country from where the review was leave, unfortunately, it’s not possible, because Google does not pass information about this, in other words it’s a limitation of Google API, not the plugin.

Thanks!

Hi @cptkoolbeenz,

Could you send a link to the tool where we can test/check this? I guess it’s something similar a Lighthouse report tool?

Thanks!

Hi @setsuna16,

First of all, try to reduce the number of requested reviews via the option: Advance Options / Reviews limit, for instance type value 10 there.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks!

Hi @galbaras,

Thank you for update.

Yes, starting from the version 2.0 you need to delete all old widgets and shortcode and recreate these in the plugin’s widget builder (the page Google Reviews / Widgets). It keeps all settings independent from which you are using – widget or shortcode.

Thanks!

Hi @reelism,

Please reopen this if it’s still relevant.

Thanks!

Hi @mirkodii,

Yes, we have an issue on some sites which uses a cache or CDN plugins. Currently we prepare a new release with a fix of it.

However, you can update your reviews manually if you create some new (temporary) widget and connect your Google place again, the reviews will be updated.

Thanks!

Hi @prosatya,

Thank you for getting in touch, we do appreciate your time.

I saw a report and will investigate the possibility to retest all red points and validate it on our independent test server. So, first of all, we will need to see and check this all to be sure what can be included to the next release.

Thanks!
