# How To Use ReviewX With Custom Post Types

ReviewX is not limited to WooCommerce products alone — it empowers you to collect and display verified multi-criteria reviews across any custom post type on your WordPress site, such as Movies, Books, Properties, Recipes, or Articles.

## How to Enable Reviews on Custom Post Types

To configure ReviewX for custom post types in WordPress:

1. In your WordPress admin sidebar, navigate to **ReviewX → Custom Post Reviews**.
2. You will see the list of active post types on your site (callout **[2]**), including built-in *Product* and *Post* types, along with any registered custom post types.
3. To register a new post type, click the blue **+ Add post type** button (callout **[1]**) in the top-right corner.
4. Select your target post type from the dropdown (e.g. *Books*, *Courses*, or *Portfolio*) and click **Enable**.
5. ReviewX will activate the review collection system and comment handling specifically for that post type.

## Configuring Criteria for Custom Post Types

Each post type can have independent review criteria. For instance:

- **Products:** Quality, Delivery, Value for Money.
- **Books:** Plot, Writing Style, Character Development.
- **Courses:** Content Clarity, Instructor Support, Practical Value.

Click the gear icon (callout **[3]**) next to the post type to configure its custom multi-criteria ratings, approval settings, and widget styles.

## Displaying Reviews on Custom Post Templates

You can display review forms and lists on custom post singles using ReviewX Gutenberg blocks or shortcodes:

- `[rvx-review-form]` — Displays the multi-criteria review submission form.
- `[rvx-review-list]` — Renders the storefront review list in List, Grid, or Masonry layout.
- `[rvx-criteria-graph]` — Displays visual breakdown bars for each criteria.
