BuddyPress Member Reviews gives your community a reputation layer. Registered members post reviews on other members’ profiles, rate them against criteria you define, and the plugin rolls those scores into an aggregate rating shown on the profile and on the members directory.

It needs BuddyPress 6.0+ or BuddyBoss Platform 1.8+ with the Members component active. Everything is controlled from one settings screen: who can review whom, whether reviews are auto-approved or moderated, what the criteria are called, and how the whole thing is labelled.

What you get

Reviews and ratings on member profiles
* A Reviews tab on every member profile, with per-criteria star ratings and an aggregate score.
* Rate members against criteria you define. Two are seeded on activation, “Member Response” and “Member Skills”, and you can rename, remove, or add your own.
* Members can edit their own reviews after posting, when the “Allow update” setting is on.
* Profile owners can reply to reviews left about them, once per review.
* Self-reviews are blocked, so scores stay honest.
* Optional anonymous reviews for members who want to give feedback privately.

Ratings on the members directory
* Show each member’s star rating right on the members directory, on by default.
* An “Add Review” button on directory entries so members can review without opening the profile first, also on by default.
* Both are individually switchable in General settings.

Moderation you control
* Auto Approve Reviews is ON by default, so reviews go live immediately. Turn it OFF to hold every new review as a draft until an admin approves it.
* Members can report inappropriate reviews.
* Reviews auto-hide once they pass a report threshold you set.
* A Report Details meta box on each review in the admin, with dismiss and resolve actions plus a flagged-reviews filter and bulk actions on the Reviews list.
* Reviewer and reviewee role gating: choose which roles may leave reviews and which roles may receive them.

Notifications
* BuddyPress notifications when a member receives a review.
* Email notifications for new reviews, and pending-approval alerts for admins.
* Both can be switched off independently.

Activity stream
* Publish reviews to the BuddyPress activity stream so the community sees new feedback as it happens. Off by default, switch it on in General settings.

Display anywhere
* Two widgets: “BP Member Review Widget” (top rated or most reviewed members) and “BP Displayed Member Rating Widget” (the rating of the member whose profile is being viewed).
* The [bupr_display_top_members] shortcode for a top-rated or top-reviewed list on any page or post.
* Customize the review labels and star color, including the singular and plural label used for the profile tab.
