Best Wordpress Reviews Plugin

Discussion in 'WordPress' started by zhoom, Sep 4, 2010.

    I want a plugin that lets my visitors write a short review and rate restaurants and hotels.

    I am tossing up over the following 4 plugins:

    http://www.wpreviewengine.com/
    http://www.reviewpluginforwordpress.com
    http://www.myreviewplugin.com/
    http://www.wpreviewsite.com

    My key requirements are:

    - Plugin must not take over my theme as most of my posts will not require review functionality.
    - Plugin must be able to set different rating categories for different post categories. This is because some posts will be hotel ratings, some will be bars, some will be restaurants etc.
    - I must be able to choose which posts or categories visitors can rate.
    - I must be able to customize placement of the users ratings box withing the posts.
    - I must be able to give an editors rating.

    Has anyone used any of the above plugins and can recommend one over the others? Please give reasons why you recommend. A link to the site you used it on would be even better!

    Thanks

    wpreviewengine is the best, i guess.
    It can be customized with any wordpress themes.
    Closed with your requirement.

    I have already use one of that plugin.
    You can read the feature each of plugins and compare them.
    Also, see the demo page each of plugins.

    I use the last one, and installed into several websites: onlinecasinoreview.bz domainhostingforum.com. I didnot find any problem yet. But it takes some time to modify your own themes.

    Ok, thanks for the samples. How much did you have to modify your themes to get where you are with your sites? And what sort of things did you have to do?

    Hi Dan, thanks so much for dropping by!

    I have a couple of questions:

    - Can I do an editor review and display it separately to visitor reviews?

    - Can I code the boxes (like top rated list and actual ratings for a post) into my themes?

    - Does the plugin inherit my theme css? Does it take over any parts of my theme?

    Thanks!

    $200 bucks for unlimited license is nothing if you can make $200 per day from your review sites!
