Download SB | Reviews Feeds Pro v2.6.8

List of improvements in SB | Reviews Feeds Pro version 2.6.8

• = 2.6.8 =
• Improved: On multilingual sites using WPML, your Google reviews now show up fully translated in every language you offer — not just the first few. Whichever language a visitor is browsing in, they’ll see all of your reviews in that language, including when they click “Load More”.
• Improved: Google and Yelp feeds now pick up new reviews on their own, even when several come in at once — so your feed always shows your latest reviews, no manual refresh needed.
• Fix: WordPress.org reviews now display their source icon correctly.
• = 2.6.7 =
• Fix: Review Alerts now show your business’s real overall rating and total review count — matching your feed — instead of only the handful of recently cached reviews.
• Fix: Review Alert star ratings now display half stars correctly (for example, 4.5), the same way they appear in your feed, in both the editor preview and on your live site.
• Fix: You can now show Review Alerts on landing pages and other custom post types, not just standard pages.
• Fix: Google reviews now translate correctly on WPML sites that use a regional language (for example Spanish — Mexico). The plugin maps the WPML language to a code Google supports (such as es-419 for Latin American Spanish), and adds a filter, sbr_google_api_language, for overriding the language code sent to Google.
• Compatibility: Tested and confirmed compatible with WordPress 7.0.
• = 2.6.5 =
• Fix: Feeds that combine more than one source now show the correct total review count and a properly weighted average rating — on your published pages, not just in the Feed Builder preview.
• Fix: Resolved a rare PHP error that could stop a feed from displaying.
• Fix: Reviews feeds load faster on Elementor sites — the plugin no longer runs extra background database lookups on every page, which could slow down sites with a lot of feeds.
• Fix: Fixed feeds dropping to only a few reviews after moving a site to a new domain — the plugin now reconnects to your existing account on the new address instead of getting stuck.
• Fix: Removing a review source now works properly — deleting one could previously error out, or leave you unable to add a new source even when none was showing in your list.
• Fix: Clicking Clear All Caches now refreshes your reviews right away, instead of sometimes leaving a feed empty until the next scheduled update.
• Fix: Pro customers (including legacy All Access Bundle licenses) are no longer mistakenly shown a free-plan review limit — your full set of reviews loads as expected.
• Fix: Additional plugin hardening.
• = 2.6.4 =
• Fix: Improved loading performance for the block editor and Reviews Feed dashboard, keeping these screens fast and responsive on sites with large amounts of content.
• Fix: Corrected a few misspelled labels in several translations.
• = 2.6.3 =
• New: A modern Reviews Feed block for the WordPress block editor, plus a new Elementor widget — pick one of your feeds and drop it onto any page or post visually, no shortcode needed.
• Fix: Resolved a critical error on PHP 8 sites where an unexpected response from a review source could crash the page instead of being skipped over. Feeds now stay up and quietly ignore malformed review data.
• Fix: Adding or refreshing Google and Yelp sources is more reliable — when the reviews service is slow to respond, the connection no longer hangs or leaves you with an empty feed.
• Fix: Deactivating your license now works reliably, including cases where it previously kept showing a “License cannot be deactivated” error.
• = 2.6.2 =
• Fix: Improved reliability on PHP 8 — when a review source can’t be reached, the plugin now logs the issue quietly in the background instead of interrupting the feed builder.
• Tweak: Refreshed the Easy Digital Downloads source icon to match EDD’s current branding.
• = 2.6.1 =
• New: Help Widget with quick access to documentation and feature suggestions now available in the Reviews Feed. Easily find answers and share your ideas without leaving the plugin.
• Fix: EDD review titles now display above the review body on both the public feed and the customizer preview. Previously the title (filled in via the required “Review Title” field on the product-page review form) was forwarded to the feed but silently dropped by the renderer. Special characters in the title (apostrophes, ampersands, accented letters) render once, no double-encoding.
• = 2.6.0 =
• New: Easy Digital Downloads is now a first-class review source. Pick any of your EDD downloads, group several into a multi-product source, or build a feed straight from a category or tag — same wizard you already use for Google, Yelp, and the rest.
• New: EDD source icons render in the same provider-icon row as your other sources, so customers can tell at a glance which review came from your store.
• Tweak: Cleaner small-icon notice graphics — admin notification thumbnails now keep their aspect ratio instead of being stretched into a square.
• Tweak: Notification icons load reliably across the admin area; the small “Reviews Feed” thumbnails that occasionally appeared as broken images now resolve to the correct file.
• Tweak: After a Pro downgrade or after deactivating the EDD Reviews extension, your existing feeds keep displaying the reviews they already collected — both on the frontend and in the admin preview. New EDD sources can no longer be created in that state (the picker tile correctly disables itself with a clear “extension required” message). If you need to remove or replace an EDD source after a downgrade, delete it and recreate when the extension is reactivated.
• = 2.5.5 =
• Fix: Background cron update optimizations — feed processing batches more efficiently, reducing Google Places API requests on sites with multiple feeds.
• Fix: Connection stability under transient server conditions such as cache events, brief deploys, and high-traffic parallel requests.
• Fix: Site URL recognition across proxy formats (Cloudflare, AWS, Nginx), www variations, and trailing-dot domain forms for consistent connectivity behind any hosting setup.
• Fix: License activation and deactivation reliability with automatic authentication token refresh on the first attempt.
• Tweak: Test Connection diagnostic clarity — distinguishes connectivity, network, and authentication states for clearer status reporting.
• Tweak: Update external links.
• = 2.5.4 =
• Fix: Resolved a registration loop on multilingual sites (WPML, Polylang) where WordPress’s home URL emitted different language paths across requests.
• Fix: Hardened the registration retry limiter so it correctly stops repeated requests even when the plugin successfully registers in a loop.
• = 2.5.3 =
