BuddyPress Add-on Plugin

BuddyPress Member Reviews

Your BuddyPress community has no way for members to evaluate and rate each other, leaving trust signals off the table for freelance, professional, or service-oriented communities. BuddyPress Member Reviews adds a 5-star, multi-criteria review form to every member profile, visible to all but submittable only by logged-in members. A top-reviewed members widget surfaces the most trusted contributors.
