WP Rich Snippets Display Rating Addon 1.1
Wordpress Plugins WP Rich Snippets 4.8 (260 reviews)
This is a small addon built for the WP Rich Snippets plugin, and it does one specific thing: it gives you better control over where and how ratings show up on your site. WP Rich Snippets already handles the heavy lifting of marking up your content with structured data, so search engines can read your reviews properly. But displaying those ratings visibly inside your post loops takes a little extra work. That is what this addon solves. It filters both the content and the excerpts that appear inside the loop, so you can show ratings exactly where they belong, based on the review type attached to each post. Instead of manually adjusting template files or writing custom query code, you get a straightforward way to let ratings appear naturally as your posts are listed on archive pages, category pages, and similar places. In short, the addon sits quietly on top of the main plugin and handles a task that is otherwise fiddly.

The way it works is simple. WordPress builds pages by running what is called the loop, which pulls posts from the database and prints them out one by one. On a typical blog or review site, you want ratings to show up in those listings, not just on the single post page. The addon steps in during that loop and filters what gets displayed. It checks the review type that has been assigned to each post, then decides whether the rating should be shown in the content area, in the excerpt, or both. That means a book review might display its star rating in the excerpt, while a product review might show it more prominently in the content. The filtering keeps things consistent with how you have set things up. You are not forced into a one-size-fits-all layout. Because the addon is aware of the review type, it can apply different display rules across the same site.
Alongside the automatic filtering, the addon includes a shortcode that lets you place a rating wherever you want inside the loop. Shortcodes are little tags you drop into your content, and WordPress replaces them with the actual output. Here, the shortcode pulls the rating for the current post and renders it on demand. You can put it inside a custom excerpt, add it to a specific template, or use it in places where the automatic filtering is not active. Since the addon works across all review types, you do not have to worry about whether a post is marked as a book, a movie, a recipe, a product, or something else. The rating displays correctly each time. That flexibility matters if you build custom layouts with a page builder or rely on a child theme with its own template structure. The shortcode gives you a clean way to inject ratings without touching the main plugin files.
Because this is an addon, it needs the main WP Rich Snippets plugin to be installed and active on your WordPress site. It does not replace the plugin or add a new review system on its own. Instead, it extends what the plugin can do, making ratings easier to display in the places that matter most for your readers. The addon arrives as a standard .zip file, so you install it just like any other WordPress extension through the admin dashboard. Once activated, it stays out of the way and works quietly in the background, filtering content and excerpts as your loops run. For anyone running a review-focused site, it saves the trouble of writing custom functions or editing theme files just to get ratings into post listings. If you already use WP Rich Snippets and have felt limited by where its ratings appear, this addon addresses exactly that gap.
