Getting Started
ID Vendor Event Reviews is a WordPress plugin that lets vendors rate and review events they’ve participated in. It’s designed for craft fairs, trade shows, pop-up markets, and any event where vendors rent table space.
What This Plugin Does
- Star ratings — Vendors submit an overall 1–5 star rating plus optional per-category ratings (Organization, Staff, Table Cost Value, Foot Traffic, Venue Quality).
- Numerical analytics — Optional anonymous data collection for attendance, table cost, sales, and revenue, aggregated into averages.
- Guest & logged-in reviews — Guests can submit reviews by providing a name and email. Logged-in users are identified automatically.
- Moderation queue — All reviews start as “Pending” and must be approved before they appear publicly.
- Shortcodes — Three shortcodes for flexible placement of review forms, review summaries, and event grids.
- Custom templates — Built-in single event and archive templates with theme override support.
- Spam protection — One review per user/IP per event and honeypot field.
