Display review-based social proof
WP TripAdvisor Review Slider Pro helps travel, hospitality, tourism, restaurant, hotel, attraction, and tour businesses present customer reviews on their WordPress sites. Reviews are downloaded and stored in the WordPress database on your own server, so your site can display the stored content locally rather than calling TripAdvisor on every page view.
The Pro edition adds automatic daily checking for new TripAdvisor reviews through a cron job. It also expands the plugin beyond TripAdvisor, with support for Facebook Page, Google, Yelp, and more than 50 other review sites according to the product information.
Flexible review layouts
Present reviews in the format that best suits each page. The plugin supports:
- Review sliders with controls for movement and multiple reviews per row.
- Responsive grid or list layouts.
- Shortcodes, widgets, or a template function for placement.
- Summary badges showing average ratings and total counts for a selected source.
- Floating summary badges with a review slide-out on click.
You can create multiple templates for different areas of your site and filter each template by review source. This is useful for multi-location businesses that need to show the appropriate hotel, restaurant, attraction, or tour reviews on the relevant page.
Manage and refine displayed reviews
Pro provides additional ways to control which reviews appear. Filter reviews by rating, choose reviews for a particular template, hide reviews without text, and sort content randomly or by newest. Individual reviews can be hidden, edited, or deleted from the Review List page.
You can also display user-added photos from TripAdvisor reviews, with photos opening in a lightbox when clicked. The plugin includes more date display options, a configurable read-more link, and a Load More button for review pagination. Slider behavior includes pausing on mouse hover and advancing with a finger slide on mobile.
Monitoring, reporting, and display tools
The Pro edition can notify you by email when new low reviews are found. It also includes charts and graphs for analyzing reviews, CSV export for saving reviews to your computer, and a front-end submission form. Review summaries can be used in Google Search Result markup, with automatically created review snippet markup identified in the feature list.
Additional slider controls, more template styles, and child-theme style overrides support further presentation adjustments.
Setup and installation
Install the plugin, then find the TripAdvisor business page you want to use. Copy its URL from the browser address bar and paste it into the plugin’s Get TripAdvisor Reviews page. Download reviews from the selected source, create a template, and place it in a post, page, or widget using a shortcode, widget, or template function.
For automatic updates, use the Pro cron job option to check for new TripAdvisor reviews once a day. If your site uses several business locations, add multiple source URLs and assign each template to the appropriate location.
