About this plugin
Ahsan Review Scheduler for WooCommerce is a powerful plugin for WooCommerce store owners who need full control over their product review system.
Whether you want to manually add a single review, bulk import hundreds via CSV, or schedule reviews to auto-publish at an exact future date and time — this plugin handles it all automatically.
Key Features
- Schedule Future Reviews — Set any future date & time. Reviews auto-publish exactly on schedule via WP-Cron.
- Bulk CSV Import — Import hundreds of reviews at once. Past dates publish instantly, future dates schedule automatically.
- Auto Approval System — Reviews approve themselves on schedule. No need to manually approve each one.
- Timezone-Aware Scheduling — Full timezone support. Works accurately for any country worldwide.
- Professional Dashboard — Clean admin panel with filters, search, edit, approve, delete and status management.
- Import Logs — Full history of every CSV import with error reports.
- Native WooCommerce Integration — Reviews appear in the standard WooCommerce review tab. Affects ratings, counts, and schema markup naturally.
- Verified Owner Badge — Mark reviews as verified purchases.
- No Custom Tables for Reviews — Uses WordPress native wp_comments and wp_commentmeta.
Technical Notes
- Scheduling uses WP-Cron as the primary trigger (every minute), with a transient-throttled fallback on init for unreliable cron environments.
- For bulk CSV imports, the plugin inserts reviews via $wpdb->insert() directly to bypass WordPress flood-control filters that can incorrectly block rapid bulk insertions. All data is fully sanitised before insertion.
- The custom wcsrip_scheduled comment status is used internally to track pending scheduled reviews. It is removed when the review publishes and never exposed to frontend users.
CSV Import Format
Your CSV file should have these columns:
id, review_title, review_content, review_score, date, product_id, product_sku, display_name, email, location
Date format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
- Past or current date: Review publishes immediately
- Future date: Review schedules and auto-publishes at that exact time
