Installation and Requirements

Requirement Minimum
WordPress 4.0 or later (tested up to 6.9)
PHP 7.4 or later
BuddyPress Required, with the Groups component active

The plugin only runs its group features when the BuddyPress Groups component is active. If Groups is disabled, the group tabs and extensions are not registered.

  1. Upload the plugin folder (review-bp-grps) to /wp-content/plugins/, or install the zip from the Plugins screen.
  2. Activate Wbcom Designs - BuddyPress Group Reviews through the Plugins menu.
  3. Confirm BuddyPress is active with the Groups component enabled (Settings, BuddyPress, Components).

On activation the plugin registers a review custom post type and its review_category taxonomy, and seeds default criteria (Quality, Relevance, Engagement), default labels, and a default star colour. See How Reviews Are Stored.

After activation, go to WB Plugins, Group Reviews in the WordPress admin (page slug group-review-settings). See Site Admin Settings for each tab.

The plugin supports multisite networks. Activate it per site or network-wide as your setup requires.

Deleting the plugin from the Plugins screen runs a clean uninstall that removes the plugin’s data.
