Course Reviews & Ratings

Enrolled learners leave star ratings and reviews on course pages, with admin moderation.

Why this matters

Course buyers often read reviews before enrolling. Without a built-in review system, operators bolt on a generic WP rating plugin that doesn't understand courses or enrollment state. A course-aware review system knows who actually took the course and only lets those learners review.

What you get

  • Only enrolled learners can leave a rating or review for a course.
  • Average star and review count display on the course page.
  • Moderate from a dedicated Reviews admin page — approve, unpublish, or delete.
  • Choose between auto-publish and hold-for-review.

What it unlocks

  • Verified-learner reviews

    Only enrolled learners can leave a rating, so reviews come from people who actually took the course — not drive-by visitors or competitors.

  • Public rating block

    Average star, total review count, and approved reviews appear on each course page to build social proof for new buyers.

  • Admin moderation

    A dedicated Reviews page lets you approve, unpublish, or delete. Switch between auto-publish and hold-for-review per site.

How it works

  1. 1

    Enable Course Reviews

    Turn on the add-on under Sikshya Add-ons. A review block automatically appears on every course landing page.

  2. 2

    Pick your moderation mode

    Choose auto-publish (reviews go live instantly) or hold-for-review (you approve each one first) from the Reviews settings.

  3. 3

    Learners rate, you moderate

    Enrolled learners submit a 1-5 star rating with an optional written review. You manage them all from the Reviews admin page.

Frequently asked

Can non-enrolled visitors leave a review?

No. Only learners who have enrolled in the course can submit a review. This keeps the ratings honest and prevents review spam.

Can I edit or remove reviews?

Yes — there's a Reviews admin page where you can approve, unpublish, or delete any review.
