Description

Admirly turns review collection into a two-page job: share one link, approve what comes in, and your review wall updates itself.

How it works

Run the 3-step setup wizard: pick your sector, set the basics, and let Admirly create the “Reviews” and “Share your experience” pages.
Share the form page link with your customers, students, patients or clients.
New reviews land in Reviews Pending. Approve with one click; they appear on the wall instantly.

Features

Review form with name, star rating, review text, consent checkbox and strong spam protection (honeypot, timing check, rate limit)
Configurable “Who are you?” roles and an optional sub-field (e.g. Grade, Department) — all defined in settings, no code
Sector presets: Education, Healthcare, Service business, E-commerce, or start from scratch
Review wall block & shortcode with rating summary and responsive grid — every approved review is shown
Latest reviews strip block & shortcode (grid or horizontal scroll)
Approve / reject from the list, pending badge in the admin menu, bulk approve
Primary color setting; everything else inherits your theme’s typography
Translated into Turkish, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian and Arabic; works with WPML and Polylang; RTL ready
Privacy-friendly: no email addresses collected, IP stored only as a one-way hash, GDPR policy text suggestion, optional full cleanup when the plugin is deleted

Everything in this plugin is fully functional. There are no usage limits, locked features or trial periods.

Admirly Pro (separate plugin)

Admirly Pro is a separate plugin distributed from admirly.com. It adds photo and video reviews (uploads plus YouTube and Instagram links), a category field with category tabs on the wall, a Video / Written filter, email alerts for new reviews, Google rich snippets (AggregateRating + Review structured data) and CSV export.

Shortcodes

[admirly_form] — the review form
[admirly_wall columns="3"] — the review wall
[admirly_strip limit="6" layout="grid"] — latest reviews (layout="scroll" for a horizontal strip)

The same three elements are available as blocks in the “Admirly” category of the block editor.

Third-party service

Admirly uses the Freemius SDK for optional, opt-in usage tracking and for the upgrade path to Admirly Pro. Nothing is sent to Freemius unless you opt in on the activation screen. See the Freemius Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

Installation

Upload the plugin to /wp-content/plugins/admirly/ or install it from the Plugins screen.
Activate it. The setup wizard opens automatically.
Choose a sector preset, set the privacy options, and create (or pick) the wall and form pages.
Share the form page link. Approve reviews under Reviews in the admin menu.

FAQ

Is there a limit on the number of reviews?: No. Collecting, approving and displaying reviews is unlimited. The wall shows every approved review; use the limit attribute of the shortcode if you want fewer.
Can I change the roles or the sub-field later?: Yes. Settings Admirly Fields lets you edit every list. Existing reviews keep their values; a removed option is shown by its original label.
Does it work with WPML or Polylang?: Yes. Form texts and field labels are registered with String Translation, each review remembers the language it was submitted in, and you can choose to show reviews from all languages or only the current one.
Which data is stored?: The name, review text, rating, the consent timestamp and a one-way hash of the IP address (spam protection only). No email addresses. A suggested privacy policy paragraph is added under Settings Privacy.
Does the plugin phone home?: Admirly uses the Freemius SDK for optional usage tracking and the upgrade path. On activation you can opt in to or skip anonymous usage tracking; nothing is sent without your consent.

Changelog

1.1.2

Freemius SDK updated to 2.13.5.

1.1.1

Plugin name, tags and short description updated. No code changes.

1.1.0

The free plugin is now a clean core with extension hooks; nothing in it is locked or limited. Admirly Pro (separate plugin) builds on those hooks for photo and video reviews, categories, email alerts, CSV export and structured data.

1.0.2

Consent text under the review form is escaped at the point of output (Plugin Check).

1.0.1

The wall and strip now show every approved review; the previous free-tier display cap and the related admin notice were removed.
Pro-only options (categories, email alerts, video size limit, CSV export) are no longer present in the free plugin; a short note points to the separate Pro plugin instead.
Security hardening: nonces and server variables are sanitized before use, templates are printed directly instead of through buffered strings.
Photos and videos attached to a review are removed when the review is permanently deleted.
The admirly_client_ip filter lets sites behind a proxy supply the real visitor IP for rate limiting.

1.0.0

Initial release.
