Hi Hesham,
Was playing around with the plug-in and love the professional layout and everything, though they have to be stored in the database – I guess it’s for its own good as you can add/play around with more funky things with it like layout settings + the sidebar widget.
Is there a possibility to add a 1/2 rating in the next update though? At the moment it’s only 1-5 where as Google actually supports 2.5, 4.5 ratings, for example
Hesham February 11, 2012 at 5:16 am
Glad you like it Michael, and thanks for the feedback!
Yes, this should be added in next update.
Hesham February 5, 2012 at 11:18 pm
@ David , the plugin is free for download!

Looks like a really cool plugin, Just wondering on the cost end? I’ve seen some really nice plugin lately, but alot of the paid versions are a little pricey. Hope this is in my reach… Thanks.

Thanks Hesham, I’ll check that out a bit later on…
Hesham January 30, 2012 at 7:40 pm
Hi @ Lee . it’s not really simple thing to edit the code!
But, I’ve included new feature to allow you switch to a mini rating box instead of the large one, and also display a second rating box right below the post.
I hope this fits your needs.!

Hi Hesham,
The free plugin looks pretty good. Just one question – can you tell me which piece of the code I need to edit to move the in-post review box to the bottom of a post?
Hesham January 27, 2012 at 7:25 pm
@ Sreejesh , the plugin has a free version that can be downloaded from WordPress.org plugins directory, here is a link to the new Author hReview plugin, and by the way it works with any theme, not only Thesis blogs.
Enjoy!
Sreejesh January 26, 2012 at 11:25 am
This is just another awesome work Hesham, but this is a premium plugin? You mean it will not be available on the wordpress plugin directory?
Lee January 24, 2012 at 12:58 pm
I mean it sincerely – the support you gave me with the skin went above and beyond – and good service is still a rarity even in these hard times.
Hesham January 24, 2012 at 10:39 am
@ Jupiter, it’s almost ready, I will send an update soon!
@ Lee, thanks for your kind words, I appreciate it.
Lee January 24, 2012 at 7:30 am
As the most popular posts on my blog are reviews, I’m especially interested in this plugin. And even more so considering the excellent support that I’ve discovered Hesham to provide.

Hesham,
Thanks so much for creating this! Way Cool!!! I checked it out at http://www.famousbloggers.net/revenue-engine-review.html and it looks beautiful.
Can’t wait till it’s out of beta!
How much you think it’s going to cost?
