Часто задаваемые вопросы

Why Use this Plugin?

This plugin allows you to display Google reviews on your WordPress website. Why is this important? Positive reviews on websites like Google help businesses gain additional exposure and further enhance their online credibility. As well, positive reviews add substantial credibility to any business and can lead to increased conversion rates and sales.

There is significant data that demonstrates consumers care about online reviews but very little information about what businesses are doing to respond to this phenomenon. How about displaying reviews on your WordPress website from Google?

How do I obtain a Google Places API key?

In order for the plugin to access your Google reviews, you must have a valid Google Places API key with the Google Places API and Google Maps API enabled. To get started, please review how to create a Google Places API key.

Why does the block look funny in my theme?

Most likely your theme has conflicting CSS that is interfering with the styles included with the plugin. If you’re handy with CSS this can be an easy fix. If you are new to CSS then please submit a support request with the url of the website and we’ll do our best to help you fix the issue.

Are CSS style and theme compatibility issues supported?

We do our best to support users of the free version of the plugin. WP Business Reviews is where our customers receive priority support. If you are experiencing a style issue and need help, post in the WordPress.org support forum and we will do our best to get it set up nicely for your theme.

I don't know the pro version, but the free version doesn't work. Don't even try it to install, it's a waste of time.

It should be simple like add the key and short-code to the page. Who needs this??

This plugin didn't work for Google Reviews and the other one available got me more trouble than anything I could expect.

"Google Places Reviews makes it a breeze to..." NO. To actually use it you have to read the documentation, that's like reading a manual, you shouldn't have to do it. No mention on the plugins page in the backend (Settings > Google Reviews) that you can use widgets or shortcodes, or that shortcodes only work/exist in the pro version. And the widget doesn't work, it says: "Oops! Something went wrong. This page didn't load Google Maps correctly. See the JavaScript console for technical details." (yes, i did get and add the API key) I used it on 2 sites successfully before (last year), but i guess that's over now. Don't waste your time with this one.

I didn't end up going with this plugin since it doesn't offer a slider view option, but I did interact with support -- and it was very helpful. Matt even made an instructional video for me. Worth giving this plugin a try if you're looking for this type of widget.
