Gutena Star Ratings

56 Quality Score

Active Installs

14/30

With only 1,000 active installs, the plugin has a small but non-trivial user base, well below the category leaders like Site Reviews (60,000+) or WP Review Slider (900,000).

Update Freshness

20/25

Last updated December 2025 against WordPress 6.9.4, so the plugin is being actively maintained and tested with the latest core release.

User Rating

0/15

A zero rating out of zero reviews means there is no community signal to draw on, which makes it hard to gauge real-world reliability.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads opened makes it impossible to assess responsiveness, but it also suggests very low engagement or possibly direct-to-developer support outside the forum.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Requires WordPress 5.8 and PHP 5.6, the lowest reasonable bar, and tests clean against WordPress 6.9.4, indicating broad current-version compatibility.

What It Does

Gutena Star Ratings adds a Gutenberg block that displays five-star rating visuals inside posts, pages, and testimonials. It focuses purely on the display side: the visual presentation of star ratings alongside written reviews or product pages. It does not collect reviews from users or pull feedback from third-party platforms.

Who It's For

This plugin fits site owners building testimonial sections or product review pages in the block editor who only need a static, attractive star display they can drop into a layout. It works well for small businesses, freelancers, and course creators who write reviews themselves rather than collecting them from customers. Given its lightweight scope, it suits sites that already have a separate review-collection workflow in place.

Who Should Skip It

Anyone who needs actual review collection, submission forms, moderation tools, or aggregation from Google, Yelp, or social platforms should skip this plugin entirely, since it offers no input mechanism of its own. If you want zero manual data entry and built-in spam protection, look at Site Reviews or a Google Reviews widget instead.

The Bottom Line

Gutena Star Ratings is a narrow, well-maintained display tool with no review-collection capability, making it useful only for sites that already have their own review workflow. Its tiny install base and lack of public ratings mean you are betting on an unproven developer. Score of 59.62 reflects solid maintenance dragged down by low adoption and no community feedback.
