Etchenet Reviews for Google Business shows your Google Business reviews in a modern carousel (Swiper), a floating badge, and a side panel. Ideal for building trust and social proof on your site. Internationalization

All translatable strings in the plugin use English (United States, en_US) as the message source, as required for community translation on WordPress.org.
On a site whose locale is en_US, WordPress typically uses those strings as-is from the plugin (no separate English file required).
Spanish (es_ES) and French (fr_FR) translation files are included under languages/. Other locales can use language packs from wordpress.org when available, or custom .mo / .l10n.php files.

Features

Carousel – Shortcode [etn_egr_reviews_carousel] with configurable columns, autoplay, arrows, dots
Floating badge – Shows rating and total reviews; click to open the side panel
Side panel – List of reviews in a slide-out panel (position and styles configurable)
Manual reviews – Add and manage your own reviews in the admin (same structure as Google)
CSV/Excel import – Bulk import from .csv or .xlsx with a header row such as Author, Text, Stars, Date, Photo URL (minimum: Author, Stars). Text is optional, including in headerless files. Spanish column names (e.g. Autor, Texto) are also recognized for compatibility.
Google API sync – One-click sync with Google Places API (API Key + Place ID); optional daily cron
Order – Sort by newest, oldest, best/worst rating, or drag-and-drop manual order in the admin list
Customizable – Colors, excerpt length, min stars, “Read more” modal, Rich Snippets (JSON-LD)
Translations – Text domain: etchenet-reviews-for-google-business; see Internationalization above

Requirements

WordPress 5.0+
PHP 7.4+
Google API Key and Place ID (for syncing from Google); optional for manual-only use

How reviews are loaded from the Google API The plugin uses the Google Places API (Place Details). It requests the reviews field for your place (using your API Key and Place ID). Google returns a limited number of reviews per request (typically 5) and does not support pagination for reviews. On each sync, the plugin fetches the current batch from Google, compares it with the reviews already stored on your site, adds only new ones (no duplicates), and merges them with the existing list. It never deletes previously saved Google reviews. The API response is cached for 12 hours to avoid excessive requests. How to get more reviews than Google's default limit Because the API returns only a small set per call (usually 5) and has no pagination:

Sync regularly. Use Sync now in the Connectivity tab from time to time, or enable Enable daily automatic sync (WP-Cron). Each sync can add new reviews; the plugin keeps all it has ever received and only appends new ones. Over time your total count can grow beyond 5.
Use manual reviews and import. Add reviews manually or import CSV/Excel for an immediate larger set; they are not limited by the API and are shown together with Google reviews.

For full details, check the plugin settings and this readme file.

安装:

Upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/ or install via Plugins → Add New and upload the zip.
Activate Etchenet Reviews for Google Business in the Plugins screen.
Go to Etchenet Reviews in the admin menu.
Enter your Google API Key and Place ID (or use only manual reviews and/or CSV/Excel import).
Click Sync now (Connectivity tab) to fetch reviews, or add manual reviews / import from file.
Insert the shortcode [etn_egr_reviews_carousel] in any page or post where you want the carousel.
Optionally enable the floating badge and adjust layout, filters, and styles on the same settings page.

Optional: Translations The plugin ships with Spanish and French translation files in languages/. No extra plugin is required for those languages to work when the site locale matches.

To add or improve translations: use Loco Translate or Poedit with the template languages/etchenet-reviews-for-google-business.pot.
Place .po/.mo files in wp-content/plugins/etchenet-reviews-for-google-business/languages/ or in wp-content/languages/plugins/ (e.g. etchenet-reviews-for-google-business-es_ES.mo, etchenet-reviews-for-google-business-fr_FR.mo).

If you use Loco Translate (or pass the plugin to someone who does)

Install and activate Loco Translate in WordPress.
Go to Loco Translate → Plugins and open Etchenet Reviews for Google Business.
You will see the translation set etchenet-reviews-for-google-business.
Choose the language (e.g. Français, Español, English) and edit/save. Loco will save into the plugin’s languages/ folder by default, so translations travel with the plugin.
Use only files whose names start with etchenet-reviews-for-google-business- (e.g. etchenet-reviews-for-google-business-fr_FR.po).

更新日志:

7.0.0

Major refactor: rebuilt the administration experience around eight task-focused tabs and a shared real-time preview that uses the public component markup.
Settings architecture: slider, floating badge, side panel, review window, and their actions now have component-scoped options so that a setting cannot leak into another component.
Visual system: added component-specific colors with opacity, typography controls, borders, spacing, and independent structured shadows for the badge, panel, review cards, carousel, modal, and supported controls.
Component improvements: refreshed the floating badge, side panel, and full-review modal with isolated layers, accessible close controls, responsive behavior, and styles protected from theme or Elementor resets.
Display controls: added independent slider pagination, native SVG arrows, structured shadows, a configurable Google write-review button, and shared displayed review-count and rating controls for the badge and side panel. A component-scoped Swiper compatibility fix preserves the left/right direction of previous and next arrows without affecting other sliders.
Critical carousel stability: the slider now uses a private, explicit Swiper runtime with reliable script dependencies, hidden-container recovery, ResizeObserver updates, and no fallback to Elementor or theme Swiper globals.
Card layout: replaced conflicting aspect-ratio and equal-height settings with one migrated height mode (automatic, equal, 4:3, or 16:9). Fixed-ratio cards grow when necessary so review text, dates, and the “Read more” control are never clipped.
Preview parity: the administration preview now runs the same real Swiper lifecycle and card markup as the frontend, including pagination and navigation.
Preview usability: the administration preview always inspects one complete review card, independently of the public carousel columns. New Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile controls change only the simulated preview width.
Arrow borders: added separate normal, hover, and keyboard-focus border colors, plus independent border thickness and style controls for this plugin’s carousel arrows.
Manual reviews: reviews created with an author and stars only remain visible in the carousel, floating badge, and side panel even when the optional empty-text filter is enabled.
Translation safety: upgrades preserve administrator-managed legacy translation files; the settings migration never deletes locale customizations.
Migration: existing configurations are migrated automatically on upgrade. The migration is idempotent, preserves legacy and unknown values, and never overwrites a saved configuration.

6.1.7

Display: the configurable review count is now the single source of truth for every public review-count label, including the floating Google badge and both side-panel header layouts.
Admin: the badge and side-panel previews now update together in real time when this value changes.
Data integrity: review filtering, the average rating, review cards, operational admin totals, and structured-data counts continue to use real review data.

6.1.6

Full-review modal: added separate color controls for the modal, its close button, and the “Read more” link, including hover and keyboard-focus states.
Display: the modal is now a shared footer component with its own overlay. It opens above the side panel and works when the floating badge is used without a carousel shortcode.
Compatibility: isolated modal and “Read more” styles from theme-level button and link resets, including Hello Elementor.
Security: protected the manual Google-review sync with an administrator capability check and nonce, hardened remote avatar caching, and neutralized spreadsheet formulas in CSV exports.
Import: headerless files can now omit the optional review text (for example: Author, Stars, Date, Photo URL).
Dependencies: updated Swiper to 12.1.2 and replaced the broken alpha color-picker bundle with its readable GPL-2.0-or-later source.

6.1.5

Badge: added an optional setting to override only the review count displayed on the floating Google badge; leave it empty to keep the real filtered count.
Manual reviews: author name and a whole-star rating are now the only required fields. Review text and profile image are optional in add, edit, and CSV/Excel import workflows.
Display: manual reviews without text remain visible in the carousel, badge, and side panel without an empty-text gap; Google empty-text filtering is unchanged.

6.1.4

Internationalization: finalized English source strings in the active trunk code for WordPress.org translation workflows
Admin/UI consistency: aligned remaining visible labels and export headers with the English source baseline
Release prep: version bump and readme metadata updated for the 6.1.4 tag

6.1.3

Internationalization: user-facing strings use English (en_US) as the translation source (WordPress.org / Polyglots guidelines)
Readme: aligned with admin labels; clarified default locale, CSV headers, and Google API language parameter
Regenerated translation template and refreshed bundled es_ES / fr_FR / en_US catalogs

6.1.2

Fix: admin color pickers (Esthetica tab) now update the live preview in real time
Fix: card header layout — author name and stars are centered on the full card width while the avatar stays pinned left
Fix: sidebar panel review cards no longer inherit slider-only CSS (avatar sizing, star alignment)

6.1.0

Carousel, badge, and side panel with manual reviews and Google API sync
CSV/Excel import; drag-and-drop order; translation-ready (EN, ES, FR)
Rich Snippets (JSON-LD), configurable styles and filters
