While WooCommerce store owners use the Woo Review widget, sites that manage online courses (LMS), real estate listings, hotel accommodations, books, portfolios, or events require review collection on WordPress Custom Post Types. The ReviewX CPT Review Elementor widget brings the full power of ReviewX multi-criteria ratings directly into your Elementor Single Post templates for any registered CPT.
