Overall Rating
Overall Rating shortcode is read only and is used by the reviewer.
It’s available in 3 different sizes: “Small”, “Medium” or “Large” (here you can see the large one).
In the settings, you can customize the text shown before or after.
You can manually place the shortcode where you need, or use the auto insert feature, see the video tutorial here.
There are two ways to insert the rating in this widget:
To insert the rating in this widget, thare are two ways:If you're using the Classic editor, simply give a rating in the YASR metabox that appear at the top right of the screen while you're writing a new post or page.

How to use it?
You can paste the shortcode yasr_overall_rating where you need to show the widget, or you can use the auto insert feature as explained in this tutorial. If you're using the new Gutenberg editor, click on the "+" icon to add a block, search for YASR and select YASR: Visitor Votes.
Visitor Votes Read Only
In some cases you may need to show an average of your visitor’s votes, but without allowing them to rate it (e.g. in a category page). In this case, just add the readonly=”yes” parameter to yasr_visitor_votes shortcode.
What if you want show ratings from another post or page?
All these shortcodes can be used along with the postid parameter. So,if you wish to show a rating from another post or page you can just use the postid, e.g. yasr_overall_rating size="medium" postid="XXXX"
Hello there
I just want to see the votes cast by the visitors as stars. Could you share the code with it?

Can a shortcode start inline with a previous text or have text after? I have a two ranking system, and want to put the stars before or after the previous 100-point system. But it always goes to the next line, no matter how I edit the HTML.
Hi Pablo, of course is possible 😉
You can do it by placing the shortcode manually or even when auto insert is enabled.
Best,
Dario
Nice PlugIn! 🙂
Is it somehow possible to let visitors add a shot comment on their review?
