Helpful Voting, Sorting & Filtering

Helpful Voting

When enabled in Settings > General > Helpful Voting, each review card shows a thumbs-up button with a count. Visitors can click it to mark a review as helpful via AJAX.

  • Logged-in users are tracked by user ID; guests by IP hash.
  • Each visitor can only vote once per review. Duplicate votes are rejected.
  • The count updates instantly without a page reload.

Sorting

When enabled in Settings > General > Sort & Filter, a sort dropdown appears above the review list with options:

  • Newest First (default)
  • Oldest First
  • Highest Rated
  • Lowest Rated
  • Most Helpful (only shown if helpful voting is also enabled)

Star Filtering

Alongside the sort dropdown, star filter buttons let visitors show only reviews with a specific star rating. An “All” button resets the filter. Reviews are filtered client-side using data-rating attributes on each review card.

Review Layouts

The Review Layout setting in the General tab lets you choose between List (default), Compact, or Grid views. The layout applies a CSS class (idver-layout-list, idver-layout-compact, or idver-layout-grid) to the review list container.
