Deleting a Review – Can't Review Again

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 20

While testing the review system I created a “test” review. After submitting it I removed it from the reviews section. Now when I go back to the Post it tells me I already submitted a review for the article. Am I missing somewhere else to remove this? What table is this information stored in the database at.

Thanks!

Hi,
Yes, indeed only one on-post review can be left by each user. Even if this one is deleted, it will not be possible to add another one (this measure was taken because there are users who can leave some nasty reviews, and even if you delete one, they leave another one, and so on).
Thank you!

That makes sense but where can I find this data to reset it (in the database) for myself as I would like to be able to have more control when testing. Maybe in the future have a section where blocked or banned reviews go. But if a review is deleted then it should be available again. If this is IP based that would be an issue as IPs change. Or is it done by Cookies? Thanks!

Hi,
The reviews are saved in wp_posts and those have the type ‘tdc-review’ -> https://i.imgur.com/lOwKuda.png -> https://i.imgur.com/zVgIrKr.png also you ‘need to delete the record from wp_postmeta -> ‘tdc-post-user-reviews-ips’ – https://i.imgur.com/OJ1MHSv.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/TT3Mvsn.png
I hope this will help you!
Thank you!
