1 of 5 measures had too little evidence to score. They are left out of the total rather than counted as zero — otherwise a plugin would be marked down for being small rather than for being poorly kept.Measured 2026-08-02 from the WordPress.org plugin registry.

Every rating WordPress.org holds for this plugin, not a sample. Written reviews live in the plugin's WordPress.org reviews forum.

With this plugin, newly written WooCommerce product reviews will be in a pending (hold) status until manually approved.

Product reviews in WooCommerce are immediately available for everyone to see (this can’t be changed without this plugin). WooCommerce ignores the WordPress “comment must be manually approved” discussion setting. With this plugin, new product reviews must be manually reviewed and approved before being visible on the front-end.

Are there any settings for Manually Approved Reviews for WooCommerce?

No. All you need to do is install and activate the plugin and new product reviews will require approval. To turn it off, simply deactivate the plugin.

How does it work?

The plugin creates a hook that is triggered whenever someone writes a product review. It then changes the review to a pending (hold) status which requires the review to be manually reviewed and approved (or deleted).

Wait, WooCommerce doesn’t do this?

Nope. New product reviews are immediately available for anyone to read, which is why this plugin exists.

How do I approve the review?

In the WordPress admin area under Comments.
