How to change the position of Rating Stars in Schema Pro?

MatthewNord

Hello. I bought Schema Pro this morning and after installing it I found that it inserts the rating stars to the bottom of the post when the review schema is enabled.

I went through all the settings but couldn't find any option to change its position. Is there any way to change its default position from the bottom of the posts to some other place like the top of the post or maybe the sidebar?

I would appreciate the help. Thanks in advance 🙂

Hey Matthew, welcome to our community.

To deal with this issue, we first need to remove the automatic insertion of the rating stars. Place the snippet given below in your theme's functions.php file:

/* Remove Auto Insertion of Schema Rating Stars */
if ( defined( 'BSF_AIOSRS_PRO_VER' ) && class_exists( 'BSF_AIOSRS_Pro_Markup' ) ) {
    $instance = BSF_AIOSRS_Pro_Markup::get_instance();
        remove_filter( 'the_content', array( $instance, 'rating_markup' ) );
}

After that, you can place this shortcode [wp_schema_pro_rating_shortcode] to output the rating stars wherever you want.

You can even use Astra's Custom Layouts if you're using that theme to place the rating stars on your site dynamically wherever you want.

I hope this helps. Cheers!
