What Is GravityView Ratings & Reviews Extension?
GravityView Ratings & Reviews Extension is developed by Gravity View and is a directory plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the directory category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for data management. This extension bridges the gap between data display and user interaction by enabling star ratings and written feedback.
It solves the problem of one-way communication in data displays by allowing users to engage with entries. It is for developers and site owners building Yelp clones, event listings, or product catalogs where user credibility matters.
GravityView Ratings & Reviews Extension Features
The core feature set is built around providing flexible feedback mechanisms for any form data displayed through Gravity View.
Interactive Rating Systems
The plugin enables two primary rating types: star ratings and up/down voting. You can display star ratings for entries to provide a quick visual cue of quality or use voting for community curation. These settings are found in the Ratings & Reviews box within the View configuration, allowing for granular control over how users participate in your directory listings.
Comprehensive Review Management
Users can submit full written reviews and leave comments on specific entries. The plugin allows admins and other users to reply to these reviews, creating a discussion thread around specific form submissions. Reviews are stored as WordPress comments, making them easy to manage through the standard WordPress dashboard while being tied specifically to individual Gravity Forms entries.
Frontend Integration
Ratings can be displayed on the Multiple Entries page to help users filter options at a glance. Detailed reviews and the comment section appear on the Single Entry page. You can add a Ratings Link field using the field picker in the View configuration to invite users to leave their feedback without leaving the page.
Pricing
Retail pricing for the Ratings & Reviews extension is typically part of GravityKit bundles, with the GravityView Pro plan starting at approximately $132.67 for a single site license. WPExclusive members access it as part of their plan.
