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:
- In your WordPress admin sidebar, navigate to ReviewX → Custom Post Reviews.
- 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.
- To register a new post type, click the blue + Add post type button (callout [1]) in the top-right corner.
- Select your target post type from the dropdown (e.g. Books, Courses, or Portfolio) and click Enable.
- 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.
