Features Overview

BuddyPress Member Reviews gives your community a reputation layer. This page summarizes what the free plugin does. Every capability here is controlled from WB Plugins > Member Reviews.

Reviews and ratings on member profiles

A Reviews tab on every member profile, with per-criteria star ratings and an aggregate score.
Rate members against criteria you define. Two are seeded on activation, “Member Response” and “Member Skills”, and you can rename, remove, or add your own.
Members can edit their own reviews after posting when the Allow update setting is on (on by default).
Profile owners can reply to reviews left about them, once per review.
Self-reviews are blocked, so scores stay honest.
Optional anonymous reviews for members who want to give feedback privately.

See Star Ratings and Criteria.

Ratings on the members directory

Show each member’s star rating on the members directory (on by default).
An Add Review button on directory entries so members can review without opening the profile first (on by default).
Both are individually switchable on the General tab.

Moderation you control

Auto Approve Reviews is on by default, so reviews go live immediately. Turn it off to hold every new review as a draft until an admin approves it.
Members can report inappropriate reviews.
Reviews auto-hide once they pass a report threshold you set (default 5).
A Report Details meta box on each review in the admin, with dismiss and resolve actions, plus a flagged-reviews filter and bulk actions on the Reviews list.
Reviewer and reviewee role gating: choose which roles may leave reviews and which roles may receive them.

See Moderation and Reporting.

Notifications

BuddyPress notifications when a member receives a review.
Email notifications for new reviews, and pending-approval alerts for admins.
Both can be switched off independently on the General tab.

Activity stream

Publish reviews to the BuddyPress activity stream so the community sees new feedback as it happens. Off by default; switch it on in General settings.

Display anywhere

Two widgets: BP Member Review Widget (top rated or most reviewed members) and BP Displayed Member Rating Widget (the rating of the member whose profile is being viewed).
The [bupr_display_top_members] shortcode for a top-rated or top-reviewed list on any page or post.
Customize the review labels and star color, including the singular and plural label used for the profile tab.

See Shortcode and Widgets.

Owner replies

Profile owners can respond once to each review left about them. See Owner Replies.
