详情介绍:
[truewidgets] shortcode.
What you get
- Your newest reviews, kept up to date. Truewidgets checks Google for new reviews every day. There is nothing to refresh by hand.
- Five layouts. Carousel, grid, list, masonry, and a compact badge.
- Your look. Set the colours, fonts and layout in Truewidgets. Change them any time: your pages update by themselves, with no new code.
- An honest average. The rating counts every review, not just the ones the widget shows.
- More reviews. A "Write a review" button, plus a review link and QR code to share, make it easy for customers to review you on Google.
- Fast and self-contained. The widget loads in the background, only on pages that show it. It draws itself in a closed Shadow DOM, so your theme can't break it and it can't change your theme. Its fonts come from Truewidgets, never from Google Fonts.
- Works where you build. The block editor, the classic editor, page builders that accept shortcodes, and theme templates.
安装:
- In WordPress, go to Plugins → Add New Plugin, search for "Truewidgets", then install and activate it.

- Add the Truewidgets Reviews block to a page, or paste
[truewidgets]where the reviews should go.

常见问题:
Do I need a Truewidgets account?
Yes. Truewidgets is the service that collects your reviews from Google and draws the widget; the plugin puts the widget on your pages. Creating an account is free.
Is it free?
Yes, on the Free plan: one widget with your 5 newest Google reviews, and a small "Powered by Truewidgets" line. Paid plans show all your reviews and remove the line.
Where do the reviews come from?
From your Google Business Profile. In Truewidgets you sign in with Google to connect it, which also shows the business is yours. Truewidgets then checks for new reviews every day.
Do I need new code when I change how the widget looks?
No. Change the colours, fonts or layout in Truewidgets, and your pages show the change by themselves within a few minutes.
Will it slow down my site?
No. The script loads in the background and only on pages that show a widget, and the widget's styles are kept apart from your theme's.
Does it use cookies?
No. The widget sets no cookies and sends nothing about who your visitors are. "External services" above lists exactly what it loads and counts. The plugin also suggests text for your privacy policy, in Settings → Privacy → Policy Guide.
Does it work with Elementor, Divi or other page builders?
Yes, anywhere that accepts a shortcode: paste [truewidgets].
Can I show different widgets on different pages?
Yes. Settings → Truewidgets sets this site's widget, and a block or shortcode can name another one: [truewidgets id="your-widget-id"].
Can I choose a layout for one page?
Yes. Choose it in the block's settings, or use [truewidgets layout="grid"]. The layouts are carousel, grid, list, masonry and badge. Leave the layout out to use the one set in Truewidgets.
Can I use it in a theme template?
Yes: <?php if ( function_exists( 'truewidgets_widget' ) ) truewidgets_widget( 'your-widget-id', 'carousel' ); ?>
What happens if I stop paying?
Your account moves to the Free plan. Widgets the Free plan doesn't cover are paused, not deleted, and come back if you upgrade again. A paused widget shows nothing, and the page closes up around it.
Is Truewidgets made by Google?
No. Truewidgets is not affiliated with or endorsed by Google.
更新日志:
- Fix: a Truewidgets Reviews block set to this site's widget now shows on the published page. Before, it showed only in the editor.
- Tested with WordPress 7.1.
- The block's words can now be translated.
- Suggested text for your privacy policy, in Settings → Privacy → Policy Guide.
- Settings → Truewidgets links to a free account if you don't have one yet, and says where to find your Widget ID.
- The Widget ID box is wide enough to show a whole ID.
- Sturdier saving of settings.
- A fuller readme: what's free, where the reviews come from, and answers to common questions.
- The settings page says what the plugin does, and checks your Widget ID: it names the widget it found.
- The block shows your reviews in the page editor, and names the widget it shows.
- Five layouts: carousel, grid, list, masonry and badge. "Floating" is gone; it never existed.
- No space is held open any more: if the widget has nothing to show, the page closes up around it. The block's "Minimum height" and the shortcode's
min_heightare no longer used. - The script and data addresses moved under "Advanced, for developers".
- The block's alignment (wide, full) now reaches the published page.
- The readme lists the services the plugin connects to.
- Fix: the widget script now loads from app.truewidgets.com. Version 1.0.0 pointed at a placeholder address, so widgets did not appear.
- Initial release: block, shortcode, template tag, and settings screen.
