The [rvx-summary] shortcode displays ReviewX’s review summary block — the big average-rating number with its star icon and total review count, the same summary card you see at the top of a product’s review section. It’s deliberately minimal: no filters, no list, just the headline number, which makes it a good fit for above-the-fold placements where you want social proof without pushing the full review list into view.
Basic usage
[rvx-summary]Placed on a product page or CPT entry with no attributes, it reads the rating summary for the current post automatically.
Parameters
| Parameter | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
title |
none | Optional heading text shown above the summary (e.g. title="Customer Rating"). |
product_id |
current post | Show the summary for a specific WooCommerce product by ID, regardless of what page the shortcode is placed on. |
post_id |
current post | Same, for a custom post type entry. |
Example
Show the rating summary for product 128 on any page, with a custom heading:
[rvx-summary title="Customer Rating" product_id="128"]When to use it
Use [rvx-summary] anywhere you want a quick trust signal — a homepage “bestsellers” grid, a sidebar, or above a long product description — without loading the full filterable review list. If you also want the star-by-star breakdown (how many 5-star vs. 1-star reviews), pair it with [rvx-stats], or for the multi-criteria breakdown use [rvx-criteria-graph].
