Documentation for plugins "Product Review Publisher"
Settings plugins (exactly as in the admin panel)
Settings plugins are presented solely for demonstration purposes. You can test the functionality of plugins only after purchase. We warn that the display of plugins settings is poorly adapted to mobile devices (as well as on the plugins settings page in the admin panel). This may be finalized in the future.

class="hint_code_info"> Add this CRON command using the hosting panel. If you don't know how to do it - ask your hosting for technical support. The CRON command should be executed at 23:59 exactly once a day. Otherwise plugin will not work properly!If you cannot set CRON to 23:59, configure it to 23:55 or to 23:50.You can find more about CRON commands in the documentation.

Specify the number of characters that can be pasted into the "Review text" field from the clipboard.
class="xmp1_info">Recommended value: 20 (so that a copywriter could not paste large text from the clipboard (which is most likely unavoidable), but could paste small text (a product name fragment, Company name, etc.). 20
If this setting is disabled, plugin visually hides the "Review title" field and sends the value = only a space to the database.Recommended value: ON (to avoid refining the design theme)IMPORTANT! If your website theme displays review titles (by default - they are displayed in most design themes) and you do not want them to be displayed, you must hide them by refining website theme. This modification is not included in plugins technical support. Ask the design theme creator or an expert for help with individual refinement.
Compatibility plugins
Compatibility with design themes
Plugin should work correctly without integration on all design themes.
Some design themes may have errors in the functionality of sending fake review forms (for example, such inconsistencies occurred for the Megashop 2.0 design theme and were resolved during testing
plugin
i)
. If compatibility errors with the project theme are detected, contact plugins support.
Compatibility with plugins
Plugin does not interfere in any way with other plugins that interact with standard product review forms: for example, by changing the styling of the standard review form or adding additional functionality to the review form.
Additional products recommended for use with the plugin
After the plugin publishes a fictional review disguised as a normal product review - it cannot be edited (similar to all genuine product reviews from users). To enable product review editing, we recommend using a separate third-party solution:
Plugin "Adding and editing reviews in the backend"
Since plugin helps significantly increase the number of product reviews in your online store, it makes sense to optimize the website for promotion using informational ("review") search queries. This may be useful for that purpose:
Plugin "Review Catalog" - to increase the number of landing pages (allows creating review pages for product lists)
Plugin "SEO-optimization" - to automate meta tags for product review pages
Instructions for configuring plugins
Install the plugin
Go to the settings for plugins («Shop» --> «Plugins» ---> «Product reviews publisher»)
Enable the plugin
Copy the CRON command and configure it in the hosting panel
Make changes to the automatic publishing settings for fake reviews (optional: you can leave the default settings)
Go to the tab "Configuring the fictitious withdrawal form displayed on product pages in
frontend"
In the first configuration, provide the IDs of users who have access to the review form (provide your ID - at least to check the correct display of the plugins form in the frontend and to provide the IDs of users who will directly write the reviews).
Make all other plugins settings (optional: you can leave the default settings).
Log in to the site from the user account that has access to the form for writing fake reviews and go to any product page
. Make sure the fake review submission form is displayed correctly. Adjust the appearance and position of the "for yourself" form.
Try to write your first fictional product review. IMPORTANT! Write the appropriate review immediately in the form in which you would like the review to be displayed on the page. Immediately after submitting the review - it will be sent to the database and it will not be possible to edit it until the review is published by CRON (after the review is published it still will not be possible to edit it from the administrative panel - for this purpose you must install an additional plugin - see the "Compatibility plugins" section).
After submitting the review - refresh the product page. Make sure that the review has been sent to the publication queue (information will be displayed on the review form). Try to write a few more fake reviews.
Wait a few days, then go to the site's administrative panel and check whether your fake reviews have been published. If not, check the plugins logs in the "Logs" application. It records detailed information every time you run the CRON command. If the reviews are not published - most likely the review publication probability has been triggered.
If everything is in order - create an account on the site for your content manager or independent copywriter, give him access to the review writing form (while the user may not have any access to the backend at all) and delegate the task of writing fake product reviews.
