Overview

Range Trust is a self-hosted review plugin for WordPress. It syncs or imports reviews from Google, Facebook, Yelp, WooCommerce, WordPress.org and any other platform into your own database, then renders review widgets server-side from your own templates. There is no SaaS account, no external dashboard and no third-party CDN: your reviews live where your site lives.

That one design decision carries most of the value:

  • Search engines see real markup. Widgets are HTML in your page, not an iframe or a script embed, and can emit schema.org rating markup (SEO).
  • Your data is yours. Reviews sit in four tables on your database. Export them as CSV at any time (Tools).
  • Privacy is simple. Visitors' browsers never contact a review platform; avatars can be cached locally (Privacy).
  • It costs $25, once. The licence unlocks updates; the plugin itself never stops working (Licence).

Where to start

  1. Installation: requirements and setup.
  2. Quickstart: first source to embedded widget in about five minutes.
