WP Review Slider

Description

You work hard for your 5 star reviews, ratings, and positive recommendations on your Facebook page, now you can easily display them on your WordPress site! A great way to boost customer confidence with Social Proof from Facebook and Twitter!

This plugin uses the official Facebook and Twitter APIs unlike other similar plugins that use illegal crawling/scraping methods to download reviews.

Here’s a quick video demonstration of adding reviews in less than 2 minutes!

Allows you to display Facebook recommendations as 5 star reviews or you can show them as normal positive recommendations! A while ago Facebook made the decision to switch from a 1-5 rating scale to either Positive or Negative recommendations. There is a setting in the plugin that will allow you to save the recommendations with a rating value that way they can be displayed with 5 stars.

Updated to include Twitter! Along with Facebook reviews and recommendations, you can now search Twitter and download positive tweets to show off on your site! Create a Twitter slider that includes positive tweets about you!

How it Works:
1) Easily connect to our Facebook app with a couple of button clicks.
2) Click the Retrieve Reviews button to download all your Facebook reviews and ratings in to your WordPress Database.
3) Create a review template and then past the template shortcode in Post, Page, or text widget.

For Twitter:
1) Easily search for tweets mentioning your business or service.
2) Click the download icon next to the ones you want to save to your database.
3) Same as step 3 above.

Visitors to your site will love the social proof provided by this plugin!

I would like to congratulate you on the WP Google Review Slider plugin. Even in the free version, it is very good and, most importantly, super lightweight. I was using another plugin (Trustindex) that was slowing down my website with a cdn js, and after installing yours, I reached 100 on PageSpeed Insights.

I upgraded to the PRO version, which allows for full customization of templates and badges, and I could not be more satisfied. Not only our reviews look great in our website, but each and every time I have reached to Josh for technical support the answer has arrived both quickly and effectively. Word of mouth has always been a fundamental part in the promotion of our interpretative kayaking company (ebroNAUTAS), and thanks to this plugin “word of mouth 2.0” is also beautifully contributing to convince our potential clients to hop aboard our activities. The ability of filtering the reviews according to tags allows to show the pertinent reviews in each part of our website (i.e. team building potential client will see enterprise groups reviews). Thanks for your plugin and customer service, Josh!
