    Hello,

    I am using Supreme Directory theme and the rating five grey stars is shown in the header when there are no ratings yet.

    I would like to know is there is some way to hide the rating five grey stars from GD until there is a first GD rating.

    The reason is that I am using a Facebook / Google rating / reviews plugin to show them in the listings and the fact that the GD rating five gray stars are shown in the header could induce to believe that there are no ratings and reviews at all in the listing, while the Facebook / Google ratings and reviews could be below.

    Example: https://inforoses.com/menjar-i-beure/bitakora/

    Other questions:

    1) Is there some way to allow user to enter ratings (but only ratings, no reviews) without having to provide personal data (name and e-mail)?
    2) Is there some system to prevent users from entering ratings (and / or reviews) one after the other within a short period of time? Or the only way to prevent fake ratings and reviews is moderating them?

    I look forward to your reply.

    Thank you very much once again for your help.

    Best regards.

    Hi Jotomas,

    Thanks for your post. You can try using this custom CSS code below to hide it if there is no rating. 

    .geodir-post-rating-value-0 {
    display:none;
}

    Hi Kor,

    Thank you very much for your reply.

    I tested the custom CSS code and it seems to work. Thanks a lot!

    Now, my other questions, elaborated:

    I have found that it is not possible to select only the general rating and that all custom ratings and a review text are also required.

    1) Is there some way to allow selecting only the general rating, without having to select too all the custom ratings as well as having to add too a review text?

    2) If the response to the first question is yes, is there some way to allow selecting only the general rating without having to provide name and e-mail?

    3) Is there some way to allow selecting only some custom ratings instead of requiring to select all of them?

    4) Is there some way to add only a text review without having to select any rating?

    5) Is there some way to display a success message when everything has done correctly? Right now is very difficult to know if the ratings and the reviews have been processed correctly, since I can not see any success message.

    I look forward to your news.

    Thank you very much once again for your help.

    Best regards.

    1. Not yet, but we are considering more fine grained controls and improvements. I will take 2/3 and 5 up as a suggestion.

    #4 I will ask the developers if there is a workaround for making reviews optional

    It’s possible to disable the required rating if Multiratings are NOT enabled. This is a snippet for that:

    

    
add_filter('geodir_params','gd_disable_required_rating',);
function gd_disable_required_rating($args){
	$args['multirating'] = true;
	return $args;
}

    

    We are considering aditional options for multiratings and will look into disabling the required rating with multiratings enabled for future versions.

    Hi Alex, hi Naveen,
    

    Thank you very much for your responses.
    

    I am not looking to disable general rating, reviews or multiratings. I would like to make everything as optional for the user instead being required as now.
    

    Also, I would like that the user gets more info about what he can do and what he can not, and when he has succesfully done it.
    

    I look forward for improvements in future updates.
    

    I look forward to your news.
    

    Thank you very much once again for your help.
    

    Best regards.
