详情介绍:
Photo & Video Reviews for WooCommerce (PVR Media Reviews) empowers your customers to share authentic visual proof by adding photos and videos to their product reviews.
Unlike other media review plugins that overwhelm your web server, PVR processes and compresses videos directly in the customer's browser before upload. This delivers lightning-fast uploads, saves bandwidth and storage, and eliminates the need for server-side FFmpeg or expensive hosting upgrades.
Why Choose PVR Media Reviews?

常见问题:
Can customers upload photos and videos to WooCommerce reviews?
Yes. PVR Media Reviews adds intuitive photo and video upload fields to your WooCommerce review forms, enabling customers to easily attach images and video clips to their feedback.
Does this plugin slow down my web server?
No. All video compression happens directly inside the customer's browser before upload. Because your server never handles raw, uncompressed video, there is zero extra CPU load, no FFmpeg requirement, and no need for specialized video hosting.
Does it support Google Rich Snippets (Star Ratings in Search)?
Yes. The plugin automatically adds Schema.org structured data (AggregateRating and Review JSON-LD) to your product pages so star ratings can display in Google search results. It is fully compatible with WooCommerce, Yoast SEO, and Rank Math.
Does this plugin replace WooCommerce reviews?
No. The plugin seamlessly extends native WooCommerce reviews stored as WordPress comments. All reviews remain fully standard, portable, and compatible with other WooCommerce tools.
What video formats and sizes are supported?
The plugin supports MP4, WebM, and MOV video formats. The maximum video upload size defaults to 500 MB (fully configurable in settings), and videos can be automatically compressed in the browser.
Does it work without WooCommerce?
No. PVR Media Reviews requires WooCommerce to be installed and active.
Is there a Pro version?
Yes. The Pro version unlocks automated review reminder emails, discount coupons for reviews, custom category criteria ratings, review carousels/grids, and a dedicated SEO All Reviews landing page.
What PHP version is required?
PHP 7.1 or higher (PHP 7.4+ or 8.x recommended).
更新日志:
1.1.2
- All-media grid: fixed "Show all media" on the reviews hub opening without filters; new photo/video filter, media is now grouped by review in page order, skeleton loading placeholders replace the "Show more" button with seamless infinite scrolling, and thumbnails load lazily
- Details modal: flipping through media reviews now continues infinitely in both directions — additional reviews are loaded in the background (previously limited to the reviews rendered on the page); neighboring full-size photos are preloaded so navigation feels instant
- Media: new default image quality presets (thumbnails 90%, modal preview 80%, lightbox 70%) for lighter pages; generated images are never upscaled beyond the original size; fixed a WebP quality bug where the per-format quality was silently discarded during format conversion
- Review Widgets (Pro): block titles are now configurable per widget — custom text, HTML tag (h2–h5/div) and additional CSS classes for matching your theme styles ("Title Selector" field); the live shortcode preview includes the title attributes
- Review Widgets (Pro): fixed the settings page jumping back to the carousel sub-tab after saving on the grid sub-tab, and the shortcode preview losing its values after save
- Admin: the License tab no longer shows a stray Renew link for lifetime licenses (a CSS rule was overriding the hidden attribute); after a failed renewal the Renew link is now a prominent colored button matching the license state (orange during the grace period, red when Pro is disabled)
- Translations updated (EN, RU, ES)
- Emails & Notifications: admin notification, customer confirmation and reply emails are rebuilt with a shared branded template; new accent color settings (gradient + text color) style the email header, buttons and coupon badge; store logo, name, phone and email are shared across all emails
- Emails & Notifications: the admin now receives a media follow-up email when photos/videos finish uploading to an already-approved review; duplicate admin/author notifications are fixed; the customer confirmation is sent when a review is approved manually, including bulk approve
- Emails & Notifications: the plugin From name/address is now applied only to plugin emails instead of overriding all site emails
- Reviewer avatars: avatar URLs are now versioned by file modification time, so updated avatars appear immediately instead of staying cached in the browser
- Admin: the License tab shows the license type ("Lifetime" or "Expires: date"), adds a Renew row after a failed renewal attempt and a "Re-install" button on the Plugin Updates card; new confirmation dialogs for deleting an issued coupon and restoring reminder templates
- Review Widgets (Pro): new per-breakpoint display settings for the carousel and grid (slides, columns, navigation, pagination, autoplay, inertia, avatar and thumbnail sizes) with a live shortcode builder, previewable in the free version
- Review editor: the bottom of the admin review editor is now extensible via the pvrev_admin_review_edit_bottom hook
- Reviews: approving reviews via bulk actions now sends the customer confirmation email (numeric status was not recognized)
- Landing Pages (Pro): fixed landing pages silently failing to save after a plugin update — the database table is now created automatically on save and any database error is reported in the admin instead of being swallowed
- Translations updated (ES, FR, DE, PL, PT-BR)
- License server migrated to a new domain (admin.pv-reviews.site) — license validation, Pro upgrades and automatic updates now point to the new address; installs must update to 1.1.0 to keep checking licenses after the old domain shutdown
- Coupons (Pro): default texts for the customer email message and the review-form notice are now prefilled in settings as editable examples
- Coupons (Pro): usage restrictions moved to a dedicated sub-tab with searchable multi-select pickers for products and categories (no more manual ID lists) and detailed field descriptions
- Coupons (Pro): the tab is now organized into sub-tabs (General / Usage Restrictions / Email Template / Frontend Display)
- Pros/Cons: new "Min" length limit setting; when set, Pros/Cons fields become required and are validated on the client and server ("Pros/Cons too short (min %d chars)")
- Review form: media section title and limits are now dynamic ("Photos", "Videos" or "Photos & Videos" with correct per-type limits); the section is hidden when both limits are 0
- Upload previews now display the file size of each prepared (compressed) file
- Admin: fixed settings assets not loading when the screen hook differs from the menu slug
- Admin: reply auto-approve setting clarified ("Auto-approve comments" with description) and moved up in the Replies tab
- Admin: third-party Sortable.js library updated to 1.15.7; update-check AJAX errors now return a readable message instead of a fatal
- Landing Pages (Pro): the list moved below the form with live search (category/manufacturer/H1), status filter, pagination and inline status toggles; editing highlights the row, and the form stays on the Landing Pages sub-tab after saving
- Landing Pages (Pro): fixed "The link you followed has expired" error when saving or deleting landing pages
- Analytics (Pro): new date-range filter (7/30/90 days / all time), cached aggregates with manual refresh, reviews trend chart, monthly dynamics, "Needs Attention" low-rated products table, and new KPIs: pending moderation, verified buyers, reply rate, helpful ratio
- Widgets (Pro): new "Review scope" option — show reviews of products from the current product category (optionally including child categories) when the shortcode is placed on a category page; shortcode attribute scope="" added
- Widgets (Pro): [pvr_reviews_carousel] and [pvr_reviews_grid] shortcodes are now built from current settings immediately, not only after changes

- Admin: fixed %placeholders% being corrupted when saving SEO template sets and landing page fields
- Pro tab previews (free version) updated to reflect the actual Pro features
- Performance: widget review queries and category product lists are now cached (1 hour, auto-invalidated on review changes)
- Landing Pages (Pro): fixed a stale-nonce "link expired" error caused by the criteria admin handler intercepting landing POST actions

- Reviews Page (Pro): filter sections now have headers (Categories / Manufacturers), smaller filter buttons
- Reviews Page (Pro): sorting restyled as text links with direction arrow (like the demo page)

- Reviews Page (Pro): fixed an invalid wpdb::prepare call notice when no filter was selected
- Reviews Page (Pro): removed a stray closing script tag on the System Info tab; fixed .htaccess block preview detection
- Emails & Notifications: plugin From name/address is now applied only to plugin emails (no longer overrides all site emails)
- Emails & Notifications: fixed duplicate admin/author notifications when reviews have media
- Emails & Notifications: author confirmation is now sent when a review is manually approved
- Coupons (Pro): coupons are now actually issued (hook name mismatch fixed); correct reward type for reviews with media; no coupons for reviews pending moderation
- Reminders (Pro): fixed broken unsubscribe link, unsubscribed customers are skipped
- Reminders (Pro): fixed broken UTF-8 encoding in multipart emails
- System Info: fixed "Change PHP Limits" never working on Apache (invalid IfModule wildcard), added CGI/FastCGI and LiteSpeed support; manual instructions updated
- System Info: added clear notice that .user.ini changes take ~5 minutes (PHP-FPM/CGI cache) so users do not re-click "Apply Changes"
- Reviews Page (Pro): new manufacturer filter based on native WooCommerce Brands
