原文外掛簡介
Softlinkster Reviews for Google helps you display Google business reviews in WordPress without being locked into a single layout. Create reusable saved views, style each one separately, and place them anywhere with a shortcode.
If you want a Google reviews plugin for WordPress that can handle homepage sections, testimonial grids, review sliders, carousel layouts, or marquee-style moving rows, this plugin is built for that workflow.
What Softlinkster Reviews for Google does:
Reusable Google review views
Create multiple saved views and give each one its own shortcode. One view can be a homepage review slider, another can be a grid for a services page, and another can be a compact testimonial section for a landing page.
Flexible layout options
Choose from stacked cards, grid, compact, carousel, and marquee layouts. Each saved view keeps its own display and style settings, so different pages can show Google reviews differently without editing code.
Live preview in wp-admin
Preview layout and styling changes inside the plugin before saving. This makes it easier to tune card spacing, typography, colors, visibility options, and motion-based layouts from one screen.
Google Places business finder
Search for your business inside wp-admin, save the correct place, and reuse that saved location across views instead of copying Place IDs manually every time.
Local review curation
Hide reviews, feature important ones, and adjust internal sort weight for cached review items. This helps you shape the order of visible reviews without changing the original Google review content.
Timed review cache with scheduled sync
The plugin fetches Google Places review content, stores it in a time-limited local cache, and refreshes it on a daily schedule or on demand. This keeps the plugin aligned with Google Places caching limits instead of promising permanent review storage.
Two source modes for different needs
Choose Places API for the fastest setup when a public 5-review sample is enough, or switch to Business Profile when you own or manage the listing and need the full review library that Google exposes through Business Profile APIs.
Theme override support
The plugin ships with one neutral default template. Developers can override that output from the active theme when they want a custom frontend design.
To keep the plugin WordPress.org-safe, it does not ship with any API key. Each site owner must provide their own Google Places API key and business location data.
Admin menu:
Google Reviews > Views
Google Reviews > Settings
Optional constant overrides:
define( 'SOFTLINKSTER_GOOGLE_REVIEWS_GOOGLE_API_KEY', 'your-api-key-here' );
define( 'SOFTLINKSTER_GOOGLE_REVIEWS_GOOGLE_PLACE_ID', 'your-place-id-here' );
The plugin uses a neutral default template. Themes can override it by adding either of these files:
wp-content/themes/your-theme/softlinkster-reviews-for-google/reviews.php
wp-content/themes/your-theme/softlinkster-reviews-for-google/reviews/default.php
Primary shortcode:
[softlinkster_google_reviews]
Saved view example:
[softlinkster_google_reviews view="homepage-slider"]
Supported shortcode attributes:
view – load a saved view by ID
limit – maximum number of reviews to show
min_rating – minimum rating to include
sort – one of newest, oldest, rating_desc, or rating_asc
location – render a saved location ID
place_id – render a specific place ID
layout – one of stacked, grid, compact, carousel, or marquee
Example:
[softlinkster_google_reviews view="homepage-slider" limit="6" min_rating="4" sort="rating_desc"]
