WISDM Ratings, Reviews, & Feedback 2.2.0

WISDM Ratings, Reviews, & Feedback is a specialized WordPress plugin (specifically an add-on for LearnDash) designed to add social proof and quality control to online courses.

While most review plugins are built for WooCommerce products, this one is tailored for the e-learning experience, allowing students to rate their learning journey and instructors to gather private feedback to improve their content.

## Core Features

Dual Feedback System:

Public Reviews: Star ratings and written reviews visible to prospective students to boost enrollment.

Private Feedback: A private channel for students to send "honest" critiques directly to the instructor or admin upon course completion.

Smart Review Gating: You can set the plugin to only allow reviews from students who have completed the course, preventing "fake" reviews from non-learners.

Multimedia Reviews: Students can upload images or videos as part of their review to provide proof of their progress or results.

Automated Reminders: Set up automatic email notifications to prompt students to leave a review a certain number of days after they finish a course.

SEO Rich Snippets: Automatically adds schema markup so your course star ratings appear in Google search results, increasing your click-through rate.

## Advanced Capabilities

## Integration & Compatibility

Shortcode Support: You can use shortcodes like [rrf_show_ratings] or [rrf_all_reviews] to display feedback anywhere on your site (e.g., on a custom landing page).

Elementor/Page Builders: Works well with major builders; you can drop the shortcodes into any text block or widget.

## Pricing

As of 2026, the plugin is typically sold by WisdmLabs under these tiers:

Single Site: ~$49/year.

10 Sites: ~$99/year.

LearnDash Essential Bundle: Often included in their larger "LEAP" (LearnDash All Access Pass) bundle, which includes their Instructor Role and Reporting plugins.
