Better WooCommerce Stars Shortcode

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   This is perfect plugin! Simple and easy to use. I really love it, thanks mate! If anyone can not use in theme files use do_shortcode function like that; <?php echo do_shortcode( ‘[woocommerce_rating]’ ); ?>

   So this is the first time I am reviewing a plugin. So why this one? Because I am using a highly customized theme and several plugins with it, I couldn’t figure out a simple way of how to show the Star Count on a Product Page using Visual Composer. This plugin solved this problem. It couldn’t be easier. Thank you very much! P.S.: I made a small enhancement to the code of the plugin, so that when you click on the stars, it will take you down the site to the reviews (the ‘one-pager’ style), and not just refresh the page. When you want to do the same, in your Visual Composer (or similar) specify an ID to a row/section you want a click on the stars to move to (Reviews in this case), then edit the plugins file by appending the id to the link: $link = get_permalink( $id ) . "#theIDyouChose"; This will append the ID to the link of the stars.
