    Hi. I want to display only the stars rating at the top of my review posts without a copy of the featured image or any excerpt.

    Is this possible or are these required for the rich snippets to display in search queries?

    Thanks for getting in touch with us.

    The preview of your review is added in accordance with the Google guidelines which suggest that a webmaster should show the schema to the users as well as to the bots.

    If you show it to just the bots, you run the risk of getting removed from the rich snippets program. That is the reason it is being added to the frontend.

    Although we do not recommend removing it from the frontend – Rank Math allows you to take full control of your SEO. You can follow this link to remove the Review Display from the frontend: https://rankmath.com/kb/filters-hooks-api-developer/#disable-review-display

    You can use this filter to change what is shown in the front end: https://rankmath.com/kb/filters-hooks-api-developer/#change-review-snippet-html

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Since I couldn’t find any way to not show a duplicate featured image and large unused space I removed RM and went back to Yoast (I had been using AIO SEO until a few days ago).

    Talk about a disaster – I installed Rich Snippets and imported my data from AIO SEO over to Rank Math and then removed the YASR (yet another stars rating) plugin. The next day my pageviews had dropped from a steady 2000 per day to around 10. 10 pageviews for an entire day! Today I managed to get 17. WTF? By changing 2 plugins Google has apparently decided to skrew me.

    Hi There,

    Thanks for getting back to me and apologies for the massive inconvenience caused on your site. Hopefully, your views will increase once more.

    Have a good one.

    I`m interested in this solution too, also how to activate the hook on the website? Where do i have to add the hook, functions.php?

    It turns out something went wrong with my canonicals during the changes I made. All is working okay again now.

    I’m still on Yoast but if I decide to change again in the future, Rank Math will be my first choice. Thanks for the info and support.

    Regards,
