BuddyPress · Free plugin · v3.8.0
BuddyPress Member Reviews gives every member a reputation other members wrote. Logged-in members rate each other out of five stars on the criteria you define, the plugin averages those scores, and the result shows on the profile header, on the members directory and in a Reviews tab. Nobody can review their own profile.

How it works
A member rates another member out of five stars. The plugin rolls every score that member has received into one average, then renders it on each surface below. There is no separate setup per surface.
The averaged score sits with the member's name and avatar, so it is the first thing a visitor reads. The same hook is wired for BuddyPress, for BuddyBoss Platform and for Youzify profile headers.
Every entry in the directory listing carries its rating and an Add Review button, so members compare without opening profiles one at a time. Both are on by default and each can be switched off on its own.
The full history lives in its own profile tab, paginated at five per page by default. Rename the tab to Feedback, Testimonials or whatever your community calls it, singular and plural.
Set it up your way
A rating is only useful if it measures the thing your community cares about. The plugin ships two criteria to start from, Member Response and Member Skills, and you rename, remove or add your own from the settings screen. Each criterion gets its own five-star row on the form, and the reviewer scores them separately.
The score also renders away from the profile
Moderation
Two rules the plugin enforces on its own, and nine switches you control. Everything below ships in the free download, because there is no paid edition holding anything back.
Always on
The server rejects a review whose author and target are the same member, and the Add Review button never renders on your own profile. It is not a setting, so it cannot be switched off by accident.
Version 3.8.0 stopped trusting the member id posted by the browser and reads the logged-in session instead, which closes off forged authorship and repeat submissions that dodge the one-review limit.
Notifications follow the same rule set. A member gets a BuddyPress notification and an email when a review lands, admins get an alert when one is waiting for approval, and each of those can be switched off on its own.
Yours to set, with the shipped default
Pricing
One download, no licence key, no site limit. Nothing on this page is held behind a tier, because Wbcom plugins never gate features by licence. Requires BuddyPress or BuddyBoss Platform with the Members component active.
Before you install
It lets logged-in members rate and review each other on their BuddyPress profiles. Scores are averaged per member and shown on the profile header, on the members directory and in a Reviews tab on the profile.
Five stars. A reviewer scores each criterion you have defined out of five, and the plugin averages every review a member has received into one figure shown beside their name.
No. The Add Review button never appears on your own profile, and the server rejects the submission outright if the reviewer and the member being reviewed are the same person. It is a hard rule, not a setting.
No. There is no friendship or following requirement. Who may review whom is decided by user role instead: one setting lists the roles allowed to leave reviews, another lists the roles allowed to receive them.
Yes, and it is on by default. Two criteria are created when you activate, Member Response and Member Skills, and you can rename them, delete them or add your own. If you would rather collect one overall score, switch multi-criteria off.
By default yes. Turn off Auto Approve Reviews and every new review is saved as a draft instead, waiting for an admin to approve it, with an email alert when one is pending.
Members can report a review. Once the number of reports reaches the threshold you set, five by default, the review hides itself automatically. In the admin, each review carries a Report Details box with dismiss and resolve actions, and the Reviews list has a flagged filter and bulk actions.
Yes. Owner replies are on by default and the member being reviewed can answer once per review. Reviewers can also edit their own review afterwards while the Allow update setting is on.
Yes, three ways. The BP Member Review Widget renders a ranked list in any sidebar, set to top rated or most reviewed. The BP Displayed Member Rating Widget shows the rating of whichever profile is open. And the [bupr_display_top_members] shortcode puts the ranked list on any page or post, with title, total_member, type and avatar attributes.
Both. Youzify profile headers get the rating and the Add Review button through their own hooks, and review activity is relabelled for Youzify walls. BuddyBoss Platform is supported with its own profile header and directory hooks, and the plugin checks your BuddyBoss version on activation.
Yes. The tab label is editable in both singular and plural, so Reviews can read as Feedback or Testimonials, and the star colour is a setting. Version 3.8.0 also moved the review front end onto CSS variables, so a theme can recolour any surface from one place, in light or dark.
German, French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese (Brazil) ship with the plugin, alongside the translation template and a WPML configuration file. Version 3.8.0 fixed a bug that stopped JavaScript translations loading at all in production.
BuddyPress Member Reviews · v3.8.0
Activate the plugin, set your criteria and decide who may review whom. Ratings start showing on profiles and on the members directory as soon as the first review is in, and the ranked widget fills itself from there.

WBComDesigns is amazing. The WP plugins and themes are of top notch quality with lots of features and updated very frequently. Supports are very responsive and helpful. I use Reign with TutorLMS, and the experience is surprisingly smooth.…
