Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Affiliate Reviews turns the block editor into an affiliate site builder. Add your products, casinos, brokers or services once, then show them anywhere as comparison tables, “top picks” grids, review boxes, pros & cons lists and CTA buttons. Every design is made of blocks you can rearrange and restyle, and none of it needs a page builder.

0 rebuilds the plugin around native WordPress blocks. Each piece of a review (logo, rating, bonus, pros & cons, specifications, CTA button) is now its own block. Start from a ready-made pattern or build your own layout, and style it with the same color, typography and spacing controls as core blocks.

Why affiliate marketers use it

  • Enter data once, reuse it everywhere. Each review stores its affiliate link, rating, bonus, pros & cons, specifications and terms. Change a link or a rating once and every table, grid and box on your site updates.
  • Comparison tables and grids in one click. Insert a pattern, choose how to sort (by rating, date or title) and filter by category. Tables are built on the core Query Loop, so they update themselves as you add reviews.
  • Your layout, not ours. Rearrange blocks, drop any core block (headings, images, columns) in between, and save your design as your own pattern.
  • Fast pages. No page builder, and CSS loads only on pages that use it. Check our demos: with a good block theme you can reach perfect Google PageSpeed scores.
  • Built for any niche. Physical products, software, casinos and sportsbooks, forex brokers, hosting and VPNs all work.

Live demos

  • Electronics affiliate demo
  • Casino affiliate demo
  • Finance affiliate demo

All three demos use the free UniBlock block theme.

Review blocks

Mix these blocks into any layout. Inside a pattern or a Query Loop they pick up the current review automatically.

  • Affiliate CTA Button: links to the review’s affiliate URL, with full color, gradient, typography, border and spacing controls
  • Review Rating Stars: star rating with an optional numeric score, in two star sizes
  • Review Logo / Thumbnail: brand logo or product image in default, box, circle or frameless styles
  • Review Bonus Badge: highlights the offer, e.g. “100% up to $500” or “20% off”
  • Review Pros & Cons List
  • Review Specifications List: key/value details such as price, license or payout speed
  • Review Tag: a ribbon such as “Best Choice” or “Editor’s Pick”, inline or overlaid on the image
  • Review Description
  • Review Terms & Conditions: the small print, e.g. “18+ | T&Cs apply”
  • Review Link: a “Read Review” link to the full review
  • Review Context Wrapper: shows any single review in any post or page

Ready-made patterns

Insert a finished layout and adjust it to fit your site:

  • Review table and large review table (ranked, sorted by rating)
  • Review grid
  • Review loop, small and large
  • Compact review list for sidebars and narrow columns
  • Review comparison: side-by-side cards for “X vs Y” sections
  • Review summary: an “at a glance” box for the top of a review
  • Single review box, compact and large

Affiliate link management

  • Site-wide link settings: choose once whether affiliate links open in a new tab and which rel values they get ( sponsored, nofollow, noopener ) to follow Google’s guidelines for paid links.
  • Link cloaking (optional): turn https://partner.com/?ref=a8f3x into yoursite.com/go/brand/. You choose the prefix, and each review gets its own slug.
  • Click stats: the Reviews list shows clicks for the last 30 days and all time for every cloaked link. Stats are counted per review per day, with no IP addresses, cookies or visitor data stored, and known bots are ignored.

Link cloaking is off by default. Turning it on changes nothing until you give a review a link slug.

Easy to work with

  • Edit review fields in the editor sidebar. Rating, links, bonus, pros & cons and specifications sit in a panel next to your content.
  • Try it with demo reviews. Import three sample reviews, with logos and a category, in one click, and remove them just as easily when you add your own.
  • Live previews in the editor. Blocks and patterns preview your latest review, or sample data before you have any.
  • Public or private reviews: publish reviews as their own pages with a custom URL slug, or keep them private and use them only as a data source for tables on your pages.
  • Styles settings with a live preview to match colors, buttons and thumbnails to your brand.
  • A built-in guide on the settings page that lists every block and pattern and shows where the 1.x blocks are still used.
  • Responsive by design: blocks adapt to the width of the column they’re placed in, so layouts hold up in sidebars and narrow columns as well as full-width pages.

Upgrading from 1.x? Nothing breaks.

Your existing Grid, Table, Table Large, Single, Single Large, Pros & Cons and Info List blocks keep working and look exactly the same. When you’re ready, convert any of them to the new block-based layout from the block toolbar, one block at a time, whenever you choose.
