The fastest way to disable WooCommerce reviews.
Go to WooCommerce → Settings → Products → General and disable WooCommerce reviews. This will remove product reviews entirely from your store!
As you can see, there are a few settings if you decide to allow reviews, for example, for verified owners with/without stars. After disabling reviews, let’s see the product page.
And the catalog view in WooCommerce (shop page).
Is it possible to hide reviews for some products but show them for the rest? Yes. Let’s see.
How to disable reviews per product?
If you want to hide product reviews for one item or specific products, go to Products and use the Quick Edit/ Edit option.
That will hide WooCommerce product reviews on the product page 🙂.
But if a product has reviews already, the catalog view will still show stars🙁!
That’s all!
You may also disable WooCommerce reviews for a certain product when adding/creating it.
I don’t know why you’d like to remove product reviews but look, you know the answer now 😀! Let me take a few lines here for quick tips 😎.
- If you get a lot of spam - allow only verified product owners to leave a review OR/AND adjust your WordPress to filter spam comments/reviews with a plugin or get your hosting support.
- Getting sometimes bad reviews - try to address the issue with a positive attitude. You may turn a poor review into your advantage.
- If you receive a lot of bad reviews - check if the product, packaging, shipping, payment cost, etc. are all right. Of course, you may also disable WooCommerce reviews, but that’s a quick fix. Please remember that they may give you real help to improve your store.
That’s enough for tips 🙂!
Manage product reviews smart!
Finally, you may change your mind about whether to disable WooCommerce reviews at all.
Let’s see how to get most of WooCommerce product reviews.
- First, you can manage them in Products → Reviews.
It’s possible to approve, disapprove, edit, delete, move to spam, or reply to them.You can also manage product reviews while editing a product.
- Then, you may style the product reviews box with a WooCommerce theme customizer or a plugin.
For example, a standard Storefront theme shows stars in the product catalog:
and full reviews in the product tab:
Shoppers will probably buy a product with better reviews, and you can show 5-star products first with a WooCommerce shortcode product orderby="rating" order="DESC" 💪.
