WC Global Product Reviews

WC Global Product Reviews makes the approved WooCommerce product review pool global on single-product pages.

All approved, top-level reviews belonging to published WooCommerce products are displayed on every published product page.

The same global review pool is used for:

• The frontend average rating.
• The total review count.
• The 1–5 star rating distribution.

Reviews are not copied, moved, or duplicated in the database. Each review remains attached to its original WooCommerce product.

The plugin modifies frontend review queries and rating values only. It does not modify stored WooCommerce product rating metadata.

The plugin does not add an admin settings page and does not modify WooCommerce product-edit screens.
