Features

The feature list from the plugin's own readme on WordPress.org, trimmed to the essentials.

  • Manual or dynamic: Type a rating, or bind the block to a custom field on the post — works with custom post types, including those using a custom REST base
  • ACF Integration: Pull the rating from an ACF field — just enable “Show in REST” on the ACF Field Group (see screenshot 4)
  • Partial stars: Decimal ratings like 4.3 render as precisely filled stars
  • Accessible: Screen readers announce a clear “Rated 4.5 out of 5” label instead of empty markup
  • Your style: Adjust star color and size per block; the stars scale with your typography
  • Featherweight: A few hundred bytes of CSS, no external assets, no JavaScript on the front end

Details

A lightweight, accessible Gutenberg block for star ratings — enter a value manually or pull it live from a custom field (ACF supported).
