Title: WP Plugin Reviews Author: Sudar Muthu Published: febrero 13, 2013 Last modified: octubre 13, 2021 --- Search plugins This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/wp-plugin-reviews.svg) # WP Plugin Reviews By [Sudar Muthu](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sudar/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wp-plugin-reviews.0.4.zip) * [Details](https://arg.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-plugin-reviews/#description) * [Reviews](https://arg.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-plugin-reviews/#reviews) * [Installation](https://arg.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-plugin-reviews/#installation) * [Development](https://arg.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-plugin-reviews/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-plugin-reviews/) ## Description Displays the latest reviews of a WordPress Plugin in the sidebar. ### Features #### Sidebar Widget The Plugin provides a sidebar widget which can be configured to display the latest reviews of a WordPress Plugin in the sidebar. You can have multiple widgets for different WordPress Plugins. #### Template function In addition to using the widget, you can also use the following template function to display the reviews of the WordPress Plugin, anywhere in the theme. ``` get_plugin_reviews($plugin, $count); ``` The following options can be passed in the $options array * $plugin (string) – WordPress Plugin name. * count (int) – defualt 5 – Number of recent reviews to show #### Caching The Plugin caches the reviews that are retrieved for about 12 hours. #### Styling using CSS The Plugin adds the following CSS classes. If you want to customize the look of the widget then can change it by adding custom styles to these CSS classes. * The outer `div` tag has the class `plugin-review` * The actual review text is enclosed in a `blockquote` tag with class `plugin-review- text` * The author name is enclosed in a `span` tag with class `plugin-review-author` ### Development The development of the Plugin happens over at [github](https://github.com/sudar/wp-plugin-reviews). If you want to contribute to the Plugin, fork the [project at github](https://github.com/sudar/wp-plugin-reviews) and send me a pull request. If you are not familiar with either git or Github then refer to this [guide to see how fork and send pull request](http://sudarmuthu.com/blog/contributing-to-project-hosted-in-github). If you are looking for ideas, then you can start with one of the following TODO items 🙂 ### TODO * Pull Plugin name from custom field * Shortcode support * Added an option to display date * Make the output of widget content plugable ### Support * If you have found a bug/issue or have a feature request, then post them in [github issues](https://github.com/sudar/wp-plugin-reviews/issues) * If you have a question about usage or need help to troubleshoot, then post in WordPress forums or leave a comment in [Plugins’s home page](http://sudarmuthu.com/wordpress/wp-plugin-reviews) * If you like the Plugin, then kindly leave a review/feedback at [WordPress repo page](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-plugin-reviews/). * If anything else, then contact me in [twitter](http://twitter.com/sudarmuthu). ### Troubleshooting If you get timeouts or the error “WP HTTP Error: name lookup timed out” then it means that your server is not timing out before github can respond. You can use the code from [this gist](https://gist.github.com/sudar/4945588) to increase the timeout. ### Stay updated I would be posting updates about this Plugin in my [blog](http://sudarmuthu.com/blog) and in [Twitter](http://twitter.com/sudarmuthu).
