The [rvx-review-list] shortcode is the one to reach for whenever you need a full, filterable list of reviews on a page — a WooCommerce product, a custom post type entry, or even a hand-picked product shown somewhere other than its own product page. It renders the same review list ReviewX shows on a product page, complete with the filter bar, sort dropdown, and pagination, so visitors get a familiar browsing experience wherever you place it.
Basic usage
Dropped on a single product page or CPT entry with no attributes, the shortcode automatically detects the current post and lists its reviews:
[rvx-review-list]Parameters
| Parameter | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
product_id |
current post | Show reviews for a specific WooCommerce product, by ID — useful when the shortcode isn’t placed on the product’s own page (e.g. a “customer favorites” landing page). |
post_id |
current post | Same idea as product_id, but for a custom post type entry. |
post_type |
current post type | Explicitly set which post type the reviews belong to. Combine with a CPT that has ReviewX reviews enabled (see Using ReviewX with Custom Post Types). |
filter |
on |
Show or hide the filter bar (by rating, photo/video, verified purchase, etc.). Set to off for a stripped-down list. |
sort_by |
on | Show or hide the “Sort by” dropdown (newest, oldest, highest/lowest rated). |
rating |
on | Show or hide the star-rating filter control. |
attachment |
on | Show or hide the photo/video attachment filter. |
per_page |
your Reviews Per Page setting | How many reviews load per page before “load more”/pagination kicks in. Overrides the global default for this one shortcode instance. |
Examples
Show only 5 reviews per page for product 128, with no filter bar (just the raw list):
[rvx-review-list product_id="128" per_page="5" filter="off"]Show reviews for a custom post type entry:
[rvx-review-list post_type="portfolio" post_id="42"]Why use this instead of the default review list?
WooCommerce’s native review list on a product page can’t be filtered by rating or attachment type, can’t be sorted, and can’t be reused anywhere except the product page itself. [rvx-review-list] solves all three: it’s the same list your product pages already use, so you can drop it into a widget area, a landing page built with a page builder, or a CPT template without losing any of the filtering your customers expect.
