常见问题:
Is this plugin really 100% free?
Yes! Unlike other plugins, there is NO premium version, NO feature limitations, and NO hidden fees. All 100 reviews and all features are completely free forever. We believe in true open-source software.
Why do you offer 100 reviews for free when competitors charge for this?
Because we believe Google My Business reviews belong to YOU, not to plugin developers. We built this plugin to give small businesses the tools they need without artificial paywalls.
How many reviews can I display?
You can display up to 100 Google My Business reviews. This is the maximum the plugin supports, and it's completely free. You can use the limit parameter to show fewer (e.g., limit="20").
Do I need coding skills?
No! The plugin includes a visual customization panel. However, initial setup requires creating a Google Cloud project (we provide a step-by-step guide with screenshots).
Why do I need to create a Google Cloud project?
Google requires OAuth 2.0 credentials to access their APIs. This is a security requirement from Google, not the plugin. The good news: Google Cloud is free for standard usage, and setup takes only 5 minutes with our guide.
Are reviews updated automatically?
Yes! Reviews are cached for 1 hour for performance. After that, the plugin automatically fetches new reviews from Google. You can also manually sync anytime from the admin panel.
Can I filter reviews by category?
Yes! You can create custom categories (e.g., "Training", "Coaching", "Design") and assign reviews to them. Then filter reviews in your shortcode: [wgmbr_reviews category="training"]
Can I customize the design?
Absolutely! Go to Google Reviews → Configuration → Customization to customize:
- Card background color
- Star color
- Text colors
- Accent colors
- Border radius
Will this work with my theme?
Yes! The plugin uses clean, modern CSS that works with any WordPress theme. The design is fully responsive (mobile, tablet, desktop).
Does this affect my site's loading speed?
No! Reviews are cached for 1 hour and stored in your WordPress database. The slider uses optimized JavaScript (Swiper.js). Average load time impact: less than 100ms.
What happens if I have less than 3 reviews?
The plugin automatically adapts! With 1-2 reviews, it displays them in a static layout (no slider) with proper centering. With 3+ reviews, it shows a beautiful slider.
Can I display reviews on multiple pages?
Yes! Use the shortcode on as many pages as you want. Each page can have different settings (limit, category, etc.).
Is this GDPR compliant?
Yes! The plugin does NOT send any visitor, customer, or user data to Google. Only YOUR business reviews are fetched and stored locally on your server.
Can I translate the plugin?
Yes! The plugin is translation-ready. English and French are included. For other languages, use .po/.mo files or translation plugins like WPML or Polylang.
What if I need help?
Check the Documentation tab in the plugin for detailed guides. For issues, visit our GitHub repository or WordPress.org support forum.
Can I contribute to the plugin?
Absolutely! This is open-source software. Developers are welcome to contribute via our GitHub repository.
