Stellar – Star Rating plugin for WordPress

Stellar is a star rating plugin for WordPress, developed by Merkulove, that allows you to create and save ratings for each entry on your site, whether they are posts, pages, or products. It is designed for blogs, online stores, portfolios, creative agencies, corporate sites, and any project that needs to collect visitor feedback in a visual and attractive way.

The plugin offers exceptional configuration flexibility: it allows you to adjust the rating capacity from 1 to 12 stars, choose from a wide library of predefined icons or upload custom SVG icons, and customize the size, colors, and layout to integrate perfectly with the design of any site. Its anti-manipulation protection system includes a configurable vote limit per IP address, ensuring that results reflect real opinions and are not inflated by duplicate votes.

One of its great advantages is the integrated Schema.org markup, which allows ratings to be displayed directly in Google search results via rich snippets, improving the site's visibility and click-through rate. The plugin can be placed in predefined positions or via a shortcode anywhere in the content, and offers the possibility to display results both on the frontend and in the WordPress admin area.

Stellar is built with pure JavaScript, without jQuery dependency, making it lightweight and fast. It is compatible with the Gutenberg editor, works with all WordPress themes, and supports RTL languages. It includes a POT file for translation into any language, and allows ratings to be assigned to specific entities such as categories, pages, user roles, or devices. Its installation is quick and easy, and it works correctly in all modern browsers.

With its modern interface, flexible configuration, and performance focus, Stellar is a complete solution for those looking to implement a professional, reliable, and visually appealing rating system on their WordPress site.
