For API-based platforms, the plugin connects to third-party review services such as Google, Facebook, Yelp, and others using your provided API credentials to fetch review data. See the **External Services** section for full details. ### Which platforms are supported? The plugin currently supports 11 platforms with official API integrations: Google, Facebook, Yelp, Tripadvisor, Trustpilot, Glassdoor, G2, Apple App Store, Google Play, WooCommerce, and WordPress.org. Reviews are fetched from the respective platform APIs. ### Can I display reviews from multiple platforms on one page? Yes. Create a separate feed for each platform and place the generated shortcodes anywhere on your website. ### How many card styles are available? There are 4 card styles: Classic Card, Bubble Card, Minimal List, and Popup Grid. All styles are responsive, support dark mode, and work with both Grid and Slider layouts. ### What’s the difference between Grid, Slider, and Badge? **Grid** and **Slider** display individual reviews using any of the 4 available card styles. Grid arranges reviews in columns, while Slider displays them in a horizontal carousel with navigation arrows and autoplay support. **Badge** displays a compact aggregate rating instead of individual reviews, including the average star rating and review count. Badge is available in Card and Banner styles. ### Does the plugin support dark mode? Yes. Dark mode can be enabled individually for each feed from the feed editor settings. ### Can I filter reviews by star rating? Yes. You can set a minimum star rating from 1 to 5 to display only reviews that meet your selected rating. ### Does the plugin cache API responses? Yes. The plugin uses WordPress transients to cache review data, helping reduce API requests and improve frontend performance. Cache duration can be configured from the global settings. ### What happens when I uninstall the plugin? The plugin includes a cleanup option for uninstalling. If **Clear data on uninstall** is enabled in Settings, all stored feeds, reviews, and plugin settings will be permanently deleted. By default, your data is preserved. ### Is this plugin beginner-friendly? Yes. The 3-step feed creation process, **Choose Platform Name Feed Connect API**, makes it easy to create review feeds without coding knowledge. ### Can I preview the feed before publishing? Yes. The feed editor includes a live preview panel that lets you preview your review feed across desktop, tablet, and mobile viewports before publishing. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “**“Captain Social Review”**” is open source software.

Minimal List now has Spacing too. * Fixed: Style colours now also apply to the Slider layout. * Changed: Card widths now follow the chosen gap. Default gaps are unchanged, so existing widgets look the same. #### 1.6.1 (20/09/2026) * Fixed: Review Filters “Only Show Review” mode wasn’t being saved, so the feed silently went back to “Only Hide Review” after a reload. The choice now persists and applies on the front end. * Fixed: Uninstall cleanup now lives in one place (uninstall.php). It now honours“ Preserve settings”, and also removes cached reviews, preview posts and the plugin’s internal flags when “Clear data on uninstall” is on. * Fixed: Quick Support widget colours now come from the plugin’s theme variables instead of hard-coded values. * New: Custom Reviews (Pro) – a new feed type in Create a New Feed for entering your own reviews. Shown as your own customer reviews, without a platform logo or Review structured data. * Changed: Set up Widget now uses a side tab rail (Layout, Styles, Enhancements) instead of the top buttons. Styles is a locked Pro tab for now. * Changed: Completed steps in the wizard use a deeper green. * Changed: Insert Code step redesigned: Shortcode / PHP Snippet tabs, embed options( create a draft page, Elementor, PHP template) and a feed diagnostics card. * Changed: Back and Next now sit in the sticky top bar so you never scroll to find them, and the active step number has a soft glow. * Changed: Set up Widget’s Layout tab redesigned as collapsible accordion sections with a segmented Layout / Styles / Enhancements tab bar and a Live Preview toggle. * Fixed: Set up Widget’s accordion, tab bar and card corners now use the plugin’s own rounded-corner size instead of a larger one. * Fixed: The Live Preview strip now switches to a dark backdrop when the feed’s Dark Mode setting is on, so card text stays readable. * Changed: Removed the “Set up Widget” page heading and the icon/description under each Layout tab section and card, for a cleaner look. #### 1.6.0 (07/09/2026) * New: Quick Support – a floating in-admin help widget (Get Free Support, What’s New, Facebook community, feature/bug suggestions, and a Free/Pro Captain Tools Ecosystem browser), matching the plugin’s own theme and branding. * New: White Label Menu Visibility can now also hide the Quick Support widget. * Changed: White Label hiding the White Label menu item itself is now a separate, clearly-labelled toggle (with a confirmation prompt) instead of living in the general “hide menu items” list – that list could otherwise be used to accidentally hide the very page needed to undo it. * Fixed: White Label Menu Visibility dropdown could get visually clipped by its own section instead of showing all items. * Changed: White Label now shows its full settings screen to free users too (all fields disabled, behind a “Pro Feature” overlay) instead of a generic upsell card, so it’s clear exactly what Pro unlocks. #### 1.5.2 (26/08/2026) * Fixed: Pro Feature Lock Overflow: The “AI Summary is a Pro Feature” lock card could be taller than the (short) blurred section it sat on top of, causing it to visually spill outside its own card into the sections above/below. The lock card is now more compact and its container has a guaranteed minimum height, so it always stays within its own section. #### 1.5.1 (25/08/2026) * Changed: AI Summary is now a Pro feature. The Anthropic API key / language fields in Settings AI Summary and the Generate Summary button in the feed editor are shown in a locked “Pro Feature” preview for free users; upgrading to Captain Social Review Pro unlocks them exactly as before. Already-saved API keys are not deleted, just no longer used until Pro is active. #### 1.3.0 (18/08/2026) * Improved: Set the Default Number of Reviews to 6. * Improved : Our Products Page Design and User Interface. * Fixed: Review Count Issue While Fetching Reviews. * Fixed: Front-end Column Issue in Layout 3 (Minimal List) * Fixed: Dark Mode Switch Issue Not Working Properly * Fixed: Duplicate Time Display Issue in All Layout * Fixed: Minor Bug Fixes & Performance Improvements #### 1.2.0 (15/08/2026) * New: Last Modified : Added an info icon to the Actions column showing the feed’s last-saved timestamp on hover. * New: Help & Support Page: Quick links to Documentation, Support, and plugin rating. * New: FAQ Section: Added FAQs to the Help page, accessible from the sidebar’s “ Help” link. * Changed: “Add New Feed” button renamed to “Create New Feed” across the dashboard. * Changed: “Global Settings” page title renamed to “Settings”. * Changed: WordPress admin menu label shortened from “Captain Social Review” to“ Social Review”. * Changed: Facebook “Page Access Token” field is no longer masked like a password, so you can verify what you pasted. * Changed: Removed the Back button on the Create Feed screen for a cleaner single- path flow, and tightened the spacing below the “SOCIAL REVIEW FEED” badge. * Changed: “Manage Reviews” Replaced with “Review Filters”: The old per-review show/hide card is replaced with a searchable multi-select “Review Filters” list– check the reviews you want visible, uncheck the ones you want hidden, with a live “visible / hidden” count. Same underlying hide/show data, new interface. * Changed: Set up Widget Order: Layout and Extra Options now appear at the top of the Set up Widget step, followed by Review Filters, the star-rating Filter, AI Summary, and Feed Details last – so AI Summary now sits directly above Feed Details. * Removed: Live Preview Feature: Removed the “Open Preview” action button from the feeds list, along with the entire ?captsrw_preview=ID preview-page mechanism( query var registration, preview asset enqueueing, and the standalone preview page renderer). The feed list, edit wizard, and shortcode/Elementor/Gutenberg output are unaffected – only the separate preview-page popout is gone. * Fixed: Sidebar Losing Its Fixed Position: The sidebar navigation now uses a reliably fixed position while scrolling, on every screen size. * Fixed: No Scroll Reset on Navigation: The app now automatically scrolls back to the top of the page whenever you navigate to a different screen – no more manual scrolling up after clicking a menu item. * Fixed: Collapsed Sidebar “Extra Options” Highlight: In the collapsed icon-rail sidebar, the active-page highlight for Help / Roll Back / Our Products now matches the width and shape of the main navigation items instead of rendering as a mismatched, narrower pill. * Fixed: “No Reviews Fetched Yet” Messaging: The Select Layout preview now distinguishes between “not connected yet” and “connected, but reviews haven’t synced” instead of always showing the same generic message, with a shortcut button back to Connect Account. * Fixed: WordPress Admin Menu Icon Sizing: The plugin’s own icon in the WP admin sidebar was rendering smaller and off-centre compared to other plugin icons; corrected its sizing and alignment. * Changed: “Add New Feed” button renamed to “Create New Feed” across the dashboard. * Changed: “Global Settings” page title renamed to “Settings”. * Changed: WordPress admin menu label shortened from “Captain Social Review” to“ Social Review”. * Changed: Facebook “Page Access Token” field is no longer masked like a password, so you can verify what you pasted. * Changed: Removed the Back button on the Create Feed screen for a cleaner single- path flow, and tightened the spacing below the “SOCIAL REVIEW FEED” badge. * Fixed: Feeds list layout – removed an unnecessary width cap on the shortcode column and left-aligned the platform column. #### 1.2.5 (12/08/2026) * Changed: “Manage Reviews” Replaced with “Review Filters”: The old per-review show/hide card is replaced with a searchable multi-select “Review Filters” list– check the reviews you want visible, uncheck the ones you want hidden, with a live “visible / hidden” count. Same underlying hide/show data, new interface. * Changed: Set up Widget Order: Layout and Extra Options now appear at the top of the Set up Widget step, followed by Review Filters, the star-rating Filter, AI Summary, and Feed Details last – so AI Summary now sits directly above Feed Details. #### 1.2.4 (12/08/2026) * Removed: Live Preview Feature: Removed the “Open Preview” action button from the feeds list, along with the entire ?captsrw_preview=ID preview-page mechanism( query var registration, preview asset enqueueing, and the standalone preview page renderer). The feed list, edit wizard, and shortcode/Elementor/Gutenberg output are unaffected – only the separate preview-page popout is gone. * New: Last Modified Info Icon: Added an info icon to the Actions column in the feeds list. Hovering it shows a “Last Modified” tooltip with the feed’s last- saved timestamp. #### 1.2.3 (11/08/2026) * Fixed: Dark Mode Toggle Reverting on Reload: The per-feed Dark Mode toggle in Set up Widget Layout was stored as the string ‘0’/’1′. JavaScript treats the string ‘0’ as truthy, so after a page reload the toggle displayed as “on” again even when it had been saved as off. Dark mode is now stored as a real boolean, matching the other Extra Options toggles. #### 1.2.2 (11/08/2026) * Fixed: Display Toggles Not Persisting: The “Show Review Date”, “Show Platform Badge”, “Show Avatar”, and “Show Review Link” toggles were being silently stripped out on save because the server-side settings sanitizer had no whitelist entries for these four keys, so any change reverted back to “on” after a page reload. The sanitizer now accepts and stores these as real booleans. #### 1.2.1 (11/08/2026) * Fixed: Display Toggles Not Applying: The “Show Review Date”, “Show Platform Badge”,“ Show Avatar”, and “Show Review Link” toggles in Set up Widget Extra Options were saved but never actually read when rendering the shortcode output, so reviews always displayed with all four elements regardless of the toggle state. All four card styles (Classic, Bubble, Minimal List, Popup Grid) and the Popup Grid’s read-more modal now correctly hide/show each element based on these settings. #### 1.1.0 (07/07/2026) * New: Gutenberg Block Support: Editors can now insert review feed shortcodes directly from the block editor using a convenient feed-picker dropdown. * New: Elementor Widget Support: Added a native Elementor widget that renders any review feed. It automatically loads only when Elementor is active. * New: AI-Powered Review Summaries: Integrated Anthropic Claude to auto-generate summaries of your reviews. Configurable from the global Settings page, it currently supports 8 languages (en, hi, es, fr, de, ar, pt, ja). * New: Review Moderation: Easily hide or unhide individual reviews from the shortcode output without deleting them. Moderation states are stored per-feed and fully synced with the cache system. * New: Token Health Monitor: Added a daily WP-Cron job that checks Facebook token expiration across all feeds. It displays a dismissible admin notice when a token expires or is within 30 days of expiration. Also includes a manual “Check Token Health” button in the API Credentials page for all platforms. * New: Rollback Page: Introduced a dedicated admin dashboard page (/rollback) to let you revert to any previous version directly from the WordPress.org plugin repository. For security, download URLs are strictly validated to ensure they originate from downloads.wordpress.org. * New: Error Boundary: Implemented a React error boundary wrapper around the entire admin app to capture errors gracefully and prevent white-screen crashes from breaking the UI. * Improvements: Redesigned Edit Review Page: Replaced old horizontal text tabs with an intuitive vertical icon-tab layout. The Design, API Connection, Display, Moderate, and AI Summary tabs now feature dedicated icons and labels for better usability. * Improvements: Enhanced Moderation View: Added a visible/hidden review counter in the new Moderate tab to easily track how many reviews are currently displayed versus hidden. * Improvements: Style Preview Icons: Added dynamic mini card previews in the Design tab for each card style (Classic Card, Bubble Card, Minimal List, Popup Grid). * Improvements: Full Translation Readiness (i18n): Wrapped all user-facing strings( including titles, descriptions, intros, notes, tips, URL/badge labels, navigation, and settings) in __() localisation functions using the captain-social-review text domain. * Improvements: Optimised Dark Mode Handling: Improved dark mode transitions on the edit review page by utilizing a memoized useThemeVars hook paired with a MutationObserver. CSS variables are now resolved only when the theme actually changes, cutting down on redundant performance overhead. * Improvements: Settings Option Key Update: Updated the global settings option key from captsrw_settings to captsrw_global_settings to prevent potential naming conflicts. * Improvements: Code Quality: Standardised code formatting, spacing, alignment, and import paths across multiple JSX and SCSS files. * Fixed: Performance Lag: Eliminated repetitive getComputedStyle() calls that were triggering on every single render of StylePreviewIcon and PreviewCard components. These are now efficiently handled once via the memoized useThemeVars hook. * Fixed: Layout Alignment: Adjusted .captsrw-app-main-content margin-left from 220px to 0 to fix spacing and layout issues caused by the new vertical tab navigation. * Fixed: Card Style Fixes: Updated Style-1 card CSS with improved layout, alignment, and spacing. #### 1.0.0 * Initial public release of Captain Social Review. * New: Aggregate and display reviews from 11 platforms Google, Facebook, Yelp, Tripadvisor, Trustpilot, Glassdoor, G2, Apple App Store, Google Play, WooCommerce, and WordPress.org. * New: Live review fetching via official platform APIs using your own API credentials. * New: Apple App Store and WordPress.org feeds require no API key just your App ID or plugin slug. * New: 3-step feed creation wizard choose platform, name the feed, then connect API credentials. * New: Built-in API connection test to verify credentials before publishing. * New: Feed list dashboard showing all feeds with platform, status, shortcode, and actions at a glance. * New: Enable or disable individual feeds without deleting them. * New: 4 card styles Classic Card (stacked avatar + rating), Bubble Card (quote- style with accent border), Minimal List (compact left-bordered rows), Popup Grid( grid with “Read more” modal for full review text). * New: 1–4 column responsive grid layout with per-breakpoint control. * New: Live preview panel with desktop, tablet, and mobile viewport toggle inside the feed editor. * New: Dark mode support can be toggled per feed independently of site theme. * New: Dark/light mode state persisted via localStorage so user preference is remembered across sessions. * New: Minimum star rating filter (1–5 stars) to show only high-quality reviews. * New: Reviewer avatar, name, star rating, review date, and platform badge displayed on each card. * New: API response caching via WordPress transients to reduce external API calls and improve page load speed. * New: Configurable cache duration from the global Settings page. * New: Manual cache clear option available from Settings. * New: Shortcode-based output place `[captain-social-review id="X"]` on any page, post, or widget area. * New: Global Settings page for cache management and plugin preferences. * New: Clean uninstall routine optionally remove all feeds, reviews, and settings on plugin deletion. ## Meta * Version **1.4.1** * Last updated: **2 days ago** * Active installations: **Fewer than 10** * WordPress Version: ** 6.0 or higher ** * Tested up to: **7.0.7** * PHP Version: ** 7.4 or higher ** * Language: * [Dutch](https://nl.wordpress.org/plugins/captain-social-review/), [Emoji](https://emoji.wordpress.org/plugins/captain-social-review/), [English (Australia)](https://en-au.wordpress.org/plugins/captain-social-review/), [English (Canada)](https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/captain-social-review/), [English (New Zealand)](https://en-nz.wordpress.org/plugins/captain-social-review/), [English (South Africa)](https://en-za.wordpress.org/plugins/captain-social-review/), [English (UK)](https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/captain-social-review/), [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/captain-social-review/), [Hindi](https://hi.wordpress.org/plugins/captain-social-review/), [Marathi](https://mr.wordpress.org/plugins/captain-social-review/), and [Russian](https://ru.wordpress.org/plugins/captain-social-review/). * [Translate into your language](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/captain-social-review) * Tags: * [facebook reviews](https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/facebook-reviews/) [Google Reviews](https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/google-reviews/)[reviews](https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/reviews/) [woocommerce reviews](https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/woocommerce-reviews/) [wordpress reviews](https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/wordpress-reviews/) * [Advanced View](https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/captain-social-review/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
