  3. With a little bit of code (or a little bit of help from your developers), you can showcase your reviews anywhere on your website using our display widgets. Each widget has a custom snippet to be placed wherever you'd like it to be shown.

Supported Shortcodes

To show star ratings:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[Woo_stamped_io type="badge"]'); ?>

To show the main review widget:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[Woo_stamped_io type="widget"]'); ?>

To add rich snippets to product pages:

<?php echo do_shortcode("[Woo_stamped_io type='rich-snippet']"); ?>

If you're not using the widget on a product page, simply use these shortcodes instead.

To add rich snippets by using Product ID:

<?php echo do_shortcode("[Woo_stamped_io type='rich-snippet' product_id=5]");  ?>

To add badges by using Product ID:

<?php echo do_shortcode("[Woo_stamped_io type='badge' product_id=5]"); ?>

To add the main review widget by using Product ID:

<?php echo do_shortcode("[Woo_stamped_io type='widget' product_id=5]"); ?>

Supported Variables

We store review ratings and review count variables for each product in custom tables. You can retrieve them using the code below:

<?php <br>$stampedDBData = get_post_meta( $mod['id'], 'stamped_io_product_reviews_new', true );<br>if (isset($stampedDBData["rating"]) && isset($stampedDBData["count"])) {<br>   $rating[ 'ratingValue' ] = $stampedDBData["rating"];<br>   $rating[ 'reviewCount' ] = $stampedDBData["count"];<br>}<br>?>

Enabling Rich Snippet Support

Under SEO and Cache Settings, check off Enable reviews rich snippet.

If you don't see this setting, update the plugin to the latest version.

If you have any existing SEO apps rendering the JSON-LD version of the schema codes, the following script can be inserted in the footer section of the theme:

<script>
function addEventListenerStamped(el, eventName, handler) {
if (el.addEventListener) { el.addEventListener(eventName, handler); }
else { el.attachEvent('on' + eventName, function () { handler.call(el); }); }
}
addEventListenerStamped(document, 'stamped:reviews:loaded', function(e) {
var ratingCount = jQueryStamped('meta[itemprop="reviewCount"]').attr('content');
var ratingValue = jQueryStamped('meta[itemprop="ratingValue"]').attr('content');
var richSnippet = {
"@context": "http://schema.org",
"@type": "Product",
"@id": window.location.href + '#product'
}
if (parseInt(ratingValue) > 0){
richSnippet.aggregateRating = {
"@type": "AggregateRating",
"ratingValue": ratingValue,
"reviewCount": ratingCount
}
}
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.type = 'application/ld+json';
script.innerHTML = JSON.stringify(richSnippet);
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script);
});
</script>

Note: The reviews cache needs to be disabled within the plugin settings for the script to work.
