Description

Review Content Type is a feature-rich, extendable and powerful WordPress review plugin allowing you to create professional looking review websites with ease. Using this review plugin for WordPress, you can create in-depth reviews having pros, cons, summary, rating, featured image, pricing details, and affiliate links.

Whether you’re an affiliate marketer or a blogger writing reviews of products, services or anything else, this plugin has you covered.

How this WordPress review plugin is different?

Unlike other WordPress review plugins that add review functionality to existing post types, this plugin adds new review custom post type along with related custom taxonomies instead. Thus, avoiding cluttering of existing post types with review related data. And, most importantly allowing better management and organization of reviews for an overall improved user experience.

Features

  • Customize rating scale of all available rating types as per your likings. For example, you can switch from the default 5-star half rating system to 10-star full rating system with few changes to the rating scale of stars rating type.
  • Support Schema.org rich snippets.
  • Custom capabilities for creating and managing reviews.
  • Easily customize review permalinks.
  • Compatible with any WordPress theme.
  • Responsive and mobile friendly.
