FacetWP Star Rating

Description

The Star Rating addon brings a new facet type to FacetWP, letting you filter posts, products, and listings by the average star rating visitors have given. Built for review sites, rated catalogs, and WooCommerce stores, the component displays stars as a clickable option within your facet set and narrows results to the selected rating range, with no extra code needed in the archive template.

The result is a richer filtering experience that matches the behavior shoppers expect on e-commerce sites, directories, and editorial sites that thrive on recommendations.
