Implementing a User Rating System in Your Plugin
Posted on 17th June 2023
Introduction
As a WordPress plugin developer, you may want to give your users the ability to rate your plugin. This can be a great way to get feedback from your users and to improve your plugin. In this article, we will show you how to add a user rating system to your WordPress plugin.
Adding a User Rating System to Your WordPress Plugin
The first thing you need to do is to create a new file in your plugin directory. You can name this file anything you want, but we will name it “rate.php” for this example.
In this file, you will need to add the following code:
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Rate Plugin
Plugin URI: http://example.com/rate-plugin
Description: This plugin allows your users to rate your plugin.
Version: 1.0
Author: John Doe
Author URI: http://example.com
License: GPLv2
*/
// Exit if accessed directly
if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit;
// Add rating field to the plugin details table
function rate_plugin_add_rating_field( $plugin_meta, $plugin_file, $plugin_data, $status ) {
$plugin_meta[] = 'Rate this plugin‘;
return $plugin_meta;
}
add_filter( ‘plugin_row_meta’, ‘rate_plugin_add_rating_field’, 10, 4 );
?>
This code will add a new field in the plugin details table. This field will contain a link to your rating page.
Now you need to create a rating page. This page can be named anything you want, but we will name it “rate.php” for this example.
In this file, you will need to add the following code:
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Rate Plugin
Plugin URI: http://example.com/rate-plugin
Description: This plugin allows your users to rate your plugin.
Version: 1.0
Author: John Doe
Author URI: http://example.com
License: GPLv2
*/
// Exit if accessed directly
if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit;
// Add rating field to the plugin details table
function rate_plugin_add_rating_field( $plugin_meta, $plugin_file, $plugin_data, $status ) {
$plugin_meta[] = 'Rate this plugin‘;
return $plugin_meta;
}
add_filter( ‘plugin_row_meta’, ‘rate_plugin_add_rating_field’, 10, 4 );
?>
This code will add a new field in the plugin details table. This field will contain a link to your rating page.

return $plugin_meta;
