Installing the WP Customer Reviews plugin


The next step is to install the plugin that will enable reviews. The plugin we're using here is the WP Customer Reviews plugin. This lets your site visitors rate individual posts and leave reviews. It automatically holds new reviews as pending until you've approved them and then it publishes them in the post where they were added. Follow these steps:

  1. Go to Plugins | Add New.

  2. In the search box, type WP Customer Reviews.

  3. The plugin will be displayed. Click on the Install Now button to install it in your site.

  4. When prompted, click on the Activate link to activate it.

The plugin only has one settings screen as most of the work is done in the editing screen for individual posts.
