WordPress Plugin to include Google Place's Reviews, in a GDPR- and nDSG-save way

How to use

  • Install this plugin
  • Enable this plugin
  • Go To Tools -> Google Reviews and set your Google Places API key
  • Use the Shortcode [google-review place-id="your-place-id"], with the id of the place whose reviews you would like to display

How it works

All in all, it just does all the downloading of data on the server-side, and then caches the results for two days. Images (icons etc.) from Google are downloaded via a small proxy, in order not to leak the client's IP to Google.

How to develop

  • Clone this repository
  • Run composer install in this directory
  • Run yarn in this directory
  • Run yarn build everytime you would like to build the Svelte application
