Stellar 2.3.2 – Star Rating plugin for WordPress
Description
Stellar is a WordPress plugin that lets you add customizable star ratings to posts, pages, and WooCommerce products. It solves the common problem of collecting feedback in a way that feels interactive and easy for visitors to use. With flexible star counts (from 3 to 12), you can match the rating style to your site design. Stellar also outputs built-in schema.org markup to help search engines understand ratings. You can place ratings using blocks or shortcodes, making it practical for different themes and page layouts.
Designed for clean display and reliable scoring, Stellar limits votes per IP to reduce cheating attempts. Results can be shown on the frontend (and optionally in the WordPress admin area), and the plugin supports translations through a .pot file.
