<p>Adds the rel=”ugc” attribute value to links in comments and author URLs. This way the search engines will know that the links in the are added by users (User Generated Content).</p>
<p>Currently the plugins adds the value ugc after the nofollow value. Not all SEO tools and search engines are up-to-date and actively supporting the new attribute values.</p>
<p>This plugin won’t get further updates as WordPress 5.3 has the exact same attribute values implemented (nofollow, ugc).</p>


WP UGC Comments

Adds the "ugc" value to the rel attribute for all links in comments and the author URLs.

<h3>Polished Studio Photos Aren’t Enough To Convert Buyers…</h3>
<p>One of the main reasons people hesitate to place orders online is ‘lack of trust.’</p>
<p>Now, you always add high-quality, polished photos when adding products to your WooCommerce shop.</p>
<p><strong>But did you know?</strong><br />
<em>While your studio photos grab attention, people don’t really trust them…</em></p>
<p>Buyers are concerned about whether they will get exactly what was shown in the product images.</p>
<p>Think about the last time you placed an order.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>You obviously looked for some reviews first. But that’s not all.<br />
  You also tend to look for reviews that include a photo or video showcasing what the buyer received.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Your customers do the same!</p>
<p>Why? Because it removes most of the doubt around authenticity and quality!</p>
<p>Modern shoppers scroll past your polished product photos and look for something real: actual customers, genuinely using your products, in their real lives.</p>
<p>If your WooCommerce product pages don’t show customer photos and videos, you’re leaving conversions on the table every single day.</p>
<p>UGCify is built to exactly help you fix this… Automatically.</p>
<h3>How UGCify Can Help Your WooCommerce Store</h3>
<p>UGCify was built with one goal: to help WooCommerce stores actively leverage UGC to build trust and increase conversions, without high costs.</p>
<p><strong>Build instant trust with new shoppers</strong><br />
In 2026, user-generated content and influencer reviews are the strongest trust signals for online shoppers. And as a WooCommerce store owner, you can use UGCify to collect and display real customer photos and videos, influencer product reviews, and social posts from actual buyers right on the product page, removing doubts and driving more orders.</p>
<p><strong>Automate authentic visual review collection</strong><br />
Instead of chasing customers manually, put the entire process on autopilot. Customers submit photos and videos alongside their reviews, and the content flows straight into a moderation queue ready to publish.</p>
<p><strong>Increase conversions with help from buyers</strong><br />
Once you collect and show real buyer photos and videos on the product page, it will help more shoppers to believe your products, leading to higher conversion rates and fewer drop-offs.</p>
<p><strong>Native & Self-hosting without the high costs</strong><br />
There are very few UGC tools dedicated to WooCommerce. And most SaaS UGC tools cost between $110 and $5,000 a year. UGCify gives your WooCommerce store the same leverage as SaaS UGC tools without the high bills and with full ownership of data!</p>
<h4>Getting Started Is Simple</h4>
<ol>
<li>Activate UGCify and import existing WooCommerce reviews.</li>
<li>(Optional) Update review request emails if needed.</li>
<li>(Pro) Choose from more effective review layouts.</li>
<li>(Pro) Customize the colors to match your brand.</li>
<li>(Pro) Import social proof via hashtags in the reviews</li>
<li>Start receiving UGC and grow.</li>
</ol>
<p><em>**With the UGCify Pro, you get more review layouts, option to import social proof, manage influencer content, set up points & rewards systems for UGC, build automation workflows, and more.</em></p>
<p>Once you have UGC in place, you will start seeing<br />
* people spending more time on product pages<br />
* higher conversion rates<br />
* fewer returns & refunds</p>

<h3>Who Is UGCify For?</h3>
<ul>
<li>Fashion and apparel stores that need real buyers wearing their products</li>
<li>Beauty and skincare shops that rely on before-and-after video reviews</li>
<li>Home and living brands where lifestyle photos outsell product shots</li>
<li>Electronics and gadget stores that want authentic video reviews from real buyers</li>
<li>Any WooCommerce store ready to turn product reviews into a social proof marketing engine</li>
</ul>
<h3>Everything You Need To Turn Product Reviews Into Shoppable UGC</h3>
<p>Every feature in UGCify is designed to help you build a conversion engine around customer reviews, UGC, and social proof marketing.</p>
<h4>👉 Automated UGC Collection</h4>
<p>The hardest part of building social proof is getting customers to submit content.</p>
<p>UGCify automatically emails buyers after an order is completed, and requests them to drop a review.</p>
<p>Buyers get a link to visit the product page and upload phots and videos directly from their device!</p>
<p>**You can also use automation workflows (Pro) to set up further follow-up requests in case they do not leave a review initially.</p>
<p>So, no chasing customers or manual follow-ups.</p>
<h4>👉 Photo & Video Reviews for WooCommerce</h4>
<p>When we say visuals, we mean both photos and videos. Customers can easily upload short video reviews or photos from their photo galleries.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Video reviews give new shoppers a real-life product context that studio photos and text reviews simply cannot deliver, especially for fashion, beauty, and electronics stores.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The overall visual experience will give new shoppers the clarity they need to feel confident in placing orders.</p>
<ul>
<li>Supported Image Formats: JPG, PNG, GIF</li>
<li>Supported Video Formats: MP4, MOV, WebM</li>
<li>Upload file size limit control.</li>
</ul>
<p>So, you can turn your product review section from a list of texts into a living gallery of real buyer experiences.</p>
<h4>👉 Shoppable UGC Galleries</h4>
<p>Your visual reviews will be displayed on product pages in responsive layouts.</p>
<p>But that’s not all.</p>
<p>When viewing these photos and videos, shoppers will get an option to directly add the product to the cart right on that window!</p>
<ul>
<li>Minimal Block Gallery layout (grid, masonry, carousel, and slider)</li>
<li>Reels Style layout (with stories and column control) (Pro)</li>
<li>Amazon-style Carousel layout (Pro)</li>
<li>Individual review modal</li>
<li>Embed via Gutenberg block, Elementor widget, or shortcode for Divi and others</li>
<li>Product tagging (Pro) — adds interactive hotspots to customer images linking directly to product pages and Add to Cart buttons </li>
<li>Fully responsive to any device</li>
</ul>
<p>The UGC gallery is not only visually appealing but also acts as a direct purchase path for new buyers.</p>
<h4>👉 Easy Review Moderation Dashboard</h4>
<p>Every submission goes through moderation before it goes live.</p>
<ul>
<li>Review, approve, reject, or organize all new review submissions</li>
<li>Edit and update reviews if needed.</li>
</ul>
<h4>👉 Social Media Import (Pro)</h4>
<p>Nowadays, most customers post about anything they purchase on Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube.</p>
<p>With UGCify, you can pull those posts and display them as social proof on the product page!</p>
<ul>
<li>Import public posts from Instagram hashtags.</li>
<li>Pull in video UGC from TikTok and YouTube URLs.</li>
<li>Map reviews to their respective products.</li>
</ul>
<p>So, from now on, encourage customers to include your brand name as hashtags when posting on Instagram. That way, you get some public authority and can use them as UGC on your product page.</p>
<h4>👉 Rewards & Gamification (Pro)</h4>
<p>Encourage customers to keep contributing content by rewarding them for it. UGCify’s rewards system makes it easy for you to recognize and incentivize the most active contributors.</p>
<ul>
<li>Set up point distribution based on content type or submission volume</li>
<li>Define a badge system based on points earned.</li>
<li>Assign discount rewards per x points within different badges.</li>
</ul>
<p>Always keep buyers motivated to share their experience, which you leverage to get more repeat purchases.</p>
<h4>👉 Influencer UGC Portal (Pro)</h4>
<p>For stores working with brand ambassadors or content creators, UGCify provides a dedicated portal that makes bulk content contribution and rights management simple.</p>
<ul>
<li>Invite-only interface for brand ambassadors and influencers</li>
<li>Bulk upload of high-quality content directly to your moderation queue</li>
<li>Manage contribution rights from one place</li>
<li>Keep influencer content separate from general customer submissions</li>
</ul>
<h4>👉 UGC A/B Testing (Pro)</h4>
<p>Use UGCify’s A/B testing suite to test multiple UGC gallery layouts or design to determine which drives the most conversions.</p>
<ul>
<li>Compare how different UGC galleries perform against standard product photos</li>
<li>Track click-throughs and conversions directly attributed to UGC content</li>
<li>Test different gallery layouts and content combinations</li>
<li>Use real data to decide which customer content to prioritize</li>
</ul>
