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
