Recipe Card Blocks 3.5.0
Star ratings for recipes
Version 3.5.0 introduces star ratings for recipes, allowing visitors to rate and review them. This release also includes a new Cook Mode, ratings management features, and enhanced privacy options.
New
- Star ratings. Visitors can rate your recipes, and the rating is added to the recipe's structured data as `aggregateRating` so Google can show star ratings in search results.
- Comment ratings. Readers can leave a star rating along with their comment, and those reviews are added to the recipe schema.
- Ratings screen under Recipe Cards for approving, unapproving and deleting ratings.
- `[wpzoom_rcb_rating]` shortcode and a Recipe Rating block for showing the stars anywhere.
- Cook Mode. A toggle on the recipe card that keeps the reader's screen from going to sleep while they cook. Enable it under Recipe Cards > Settings > Miscellaneous.
- Ratings settings tab, including the rating mode, star colour, and where the stars appear.
- Privacy policy suggestions, plus personal-data export and erase support for ratings.
- SEO column on the All Recipes screen.
Improved
- Note: This release stores the IP address of each visitor who submits a rating in order to prevent duplicate votes. See the Ratings settings if you would rather not collect ratings at all.
