By default the plugin only hides review functionality, and deactivating it brings everything back exactly as it was.<\/p>\n\n<p>Since version 1.1.0 there is a separate \"Clean Up Existing Reviews\" tool on the settings page. It never runs on its own: you have to press the button, and you can choose between moving reviews to the trash (restorable from the Comments screen) or deleting them permanently. Take a backup before deleting.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"can%20i%20keep%20reviews%20on%20just%20a%20few%20products%3F\"><h3>Can I keep reviews on just a few products?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes. Turn on \"Allow exceptions\" on the settings page, then choose the products and product categories that should keep their reviews. Selecting a parent category automatically covers its child categories. Everything you don't list stays review free, including under the \"Disable All Review Features\" master switch.<\/p>\n\n<p>While exceptions are active the Products &rarr; Reviews admin screen stays available, so you can still moderate the reviews that are coming in.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"will%20this%20work%20with%20my%20theme%3F\"><h3>Will this work with my theme?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes! This plugin works with all WordPress themes and WooCommerce-compatible themes. It uses WooCommerce's built-in hooks and filters, so it's universally compatible.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"does%20it%20work%20with%20variable%20products%3F\"><h3>Does it work with Variable products?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Absolutely! The plugin works with all WooCommerce product types:\n- Simple products\n- Variable products\n- Grouped products\n- External\/Affiliate products\n- Virtual products\n- Downloadable products<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"is%20any%20configuration%20required%3F\"><h3>Is any configuration required?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>The plugin works with default settings immediately after activation, but you can access the beautiful settings page under WooCommerce &gt; Disable Reviews to customize which specific features to disable. Use the bulk toggle for one-click control or individual toggles for granular management.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"how%20do%20i%20re-enable%20reviews%3F\"><h3>How do I re-enable reviews?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Just deactivate the plugin! All review functionality will be restored immediately, and your existing reviews will reappear.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"does%20this%20affect%20my%20site%27s%20performance%3F\"><h3>Does this affect my site's performance?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>The plugin is lightweight and uses minimal resources. With reviews disabled store wide it adds no queries at all, and it slightly reduces work by keeping review code from running.<\/p>\n\n<p>If you use exceptions, the plugin has to check each product against your list. That check is cached per request and relies on WordPress term caches, so the cost stays negligible.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"can%20i%20use%20this%20with%20other%20review%20plugins%3F\"><h3>Can I use this with other review plugins?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes! This plugin only disables WooCommerce's built-in review system. You can still use third-party review plugins like Yotpo, Trustpilot, or others.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"what%20happens%20to%20review-related%20seo%3F\"><h3>What happens to review-related SEO?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>The plugin removes review markup and functionality, so review-related SEO benefits will be lost. However, you can implement alternative review systems or structured data if needed.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"does%20it%20work%20on%20multisite%20installations%3F\"><h3>Does it work on multisite installations?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes, the plugin works on both single sites and multisite installations. Activate it on individual sites where you want to disable reviews.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"is%20it%20compatible%20with%20woocommerce%20blocks%3F\"><h3>Is it compatible with WooCommerce blocks?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes! The plugin works with both classic WooCommerce templates and the new block-based product pages.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"can%20i%20customize%20which%20review%20features%20to%20disable%3F\"><h3>Can I customize which review features to disable?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes! The plugin now includes a beautiful admin settings page where you can selectively enable or disable individual features. Go to WooCommerce &gt; Disable Reviews to access granular controls for each review-related feature.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"does%20it%20work%20with%20wpml%20or%20other%20translation%20plugins%3F\"><h3>Does it work with WPML or other translation plugins?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes, the plugin is translation-ready and works with WPML, Polylang, and other translation plugins.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n<!--section=changelog-->\n<h4>1.1.2<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Fix: the \"Get Support\" button rendered with its icon detached above the label, because WordPress core's button styling took precedence over the plugin's.<\/li>\n<li>Fix: the \"Delete Permanently\" button now uses its intended red styling instead of inheriting the default blue, so the destructive action is easier to tell apart.<\/li>\n<li>Fix: icons in the bulk control buttons sat slightly above their labels.<\/li>\n<li>Improvement: the bulk control buttons now line up consistently when they wrap onto a second row on narrower screens.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.1.1<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Fix: the product search box on the settings page collapsed to a few pixels wide, making it unusable. It now fills its column and lines up with the category filter beside it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.1.0<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>New: Exceptions. Choose products and product categories that keep their reviews while the rest of the store stays review free. Child categories are included automatically.<\/li>\n<li>New: Clean up tool. See how many product reviews are stored and either move them to the trash or delete them permanently. Nothing runs automatically, and large stores are processed in batches of 200 so the request cannot time out.<\/li>\n<li>New: Option to remove the Products &gt; Reviews screen from the admin menu, which also redirects anyone opening it directly. This screen is left in place while exceptions are active so remaining reviews can still be moderated.<\/li>\n<li>Improvement: Cached rating averages and review counts are recalculated after a clean up, so product ratings no longer show stale numbers.<\/li>\n<li>Improvement: Settings added in a new version are now filled in automatically on update instead of reading as disabled.<\/li>\n<li>Improvement: Uninstalling now removes the plugin's own options.
